Prediction: 1-1
Shakhtar Donetsk
Stade de Geneve will be the centre of attention when Servette and Shakhtar Donetsk lock horns in the Conference League playoffs, return leg. The two teams played out a 1-1 draw in the first leg and yet another interesting encounter is on the cards in Switzerland. Gambia international Ablie Jalow is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in the first leg, while experienced midfielder David Douline remains in the treatment room.
The Miners, on the other hand, came from behind to share the spoils with Servette in the first leg. As the two teams seemed to be evenly matched in the Stadion Miejski clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Taking everything into account, the winner will be decided after extra-time or penalties. Kaua Elias is unlikely to feature for the Ukrainian outfit after limping off with injury in the first leg.
Highlighted Team (Shakhtar Donetsk):
Despite the fact that they were founded back in 1936, Shakhtar Donetsk were struggling to win the Ukrainian Premier League trophy until 2002. The Miners have established themselves as the dominant force in Ukrainian football and it has to be noted that they won their ninth domestic trophy in 2014.
Shakhtar Donetsk were playing at Donbass Arena in the past, but due to war in Donbass the club temporarily moved to Arena Lviv. In 2009 the Miners won the UEFA Cup trophy under Romanian boss Mircea Lucescu, beating Werder Bremen in the title game. Croatian full back Dario Srna was named the man of the match. Dynamo Kiev are considered Shakhtar Donetsk’s main rivals and there have always been fireworks in meetings between the two sides.
Shakhtar have a rivalry with Metalurh Donetsk as well and the two local rivals face each other in the Donetsk Derby. Chelsea ace Willian, Manchester United star Mkhitaryan and Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho all played for Shakhtar in the past.
