This opportunity is the English champions Manchester City and the Guardiola Elf is enough on Tuesday evening, a simple point win. At the Etihad Stadium of the Citizens, a duel between Manchester City and Shakhtar Donetsk!
Ten out of twelve possible points are at the Skyblues from England on the credit side and thus leads the Guardiola Elf the table of Group C sovereign. In second place are the Ukrainian guests, who have so far collected only five points. Nevertheless, the Ukrainian series champion has best chances of the round of 16! However, a point win in the almost overpowering opponent from England can not be calculated.
Manchester City – Statistics & Current Form
Manchester City lost their first point on matchday four of the current Champions League season, but still wrote the story of the match day in person for Kyle Walker. Kyle Walker was the first English goalkeeper in three years to hold a ball in the Champions League. Kyle Walker goalkeeper? Ederson was injured in the half-time and Claudio Bravo was sent off in the closing phase with red. Walker held on to victory and even excelled in two parades.
By the first point loss the Citizens missed the early qualification for the KO phase! However, there is no doubt that the team still reaches the round of 16 in the remaining two games. Even a point win against the Ukrainians would ensure that the Citizens book the ticket.
Many goals can be expected! Manchester City have scored no fewer than 25 goals in their last eight CL games. Between Manchester City and Shakhtar Donetsk, there are also very low betting odds on the offer of the bookmakers.
In the premier class, it runs absolutely as desired – in the domestic championship, this can not necessarily be maintained. After 13 league games are already three losses to book – in comparison: in the entire previous year’s season, there were only four defeats. In addition, the gap to Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool FC with nine points is already considerable.
All the more important was the 2-1 home win against Chelsea on Saturday night. Despite the backlog of the Skyblues prevailed – Riyad Mahrez scored the winning goal in the ninth win of the season! City achieved a negative record in the coaching era of Guardiola – only 46.74% possession had Manchester City! As little as never before in 381 Guardiola matches!
Before the intense December (a total of six Premier League games) Pep Guardiola is certainly a little run through and hardly accumulate in best formation. However, the squad width makes it possible that the more than clear role of favorites is still justified. Nevertheless, between Manchester City and Shakhtar Donetsk a tip on the three-way market to the hosts is not recommended.
Definitely not available is the suspended reserve goalkeeper Claudio Bravo and the injured Aymeric Laporte, Oleksandr Zinchenko (who was up to his 14th year at Donetsk in offspring) and Leroy Sane.
Expected lineup of Manchester City:
↳ Ederson – Angelino, Stones, Otamendi, Walker – Foden, Gundogan, De Bruyne – Sterling, Gabriel Jesus, Mahrez

Shakhtar Donetsk – Statistics & Current Form
Inexorably Ukrainian champion Schachtjor Donetsk is marching towards the next title. In the domestic championship this weekend was completed the 15th game day, the superior championship celebrated while a sovereign 4-1 home win against Lviv. Junior Moraes was the outstanding man in the field with a hat-trick.
The Elf of Luis Castro holds with 45 points – only in the home game against Oleksandria the “Pitmen” had to settle for a draw. The comfortable lead on capital club Dynamo Kiev is already 13 points.
Nationally, the team, which has been unbeaten in 44 league games, are outstanding and often even a solid performance is enough to secure the three points relatively easily. In the premier class, however, blowing a different wind and the Ukrainians are often considered outsiders. This is also in line with statistics that the Ukrainians have won only two of their last eleven UEFA Champions League games.
There was pure drama at the last home game in Maksimir Dinamo Zagreb. The home side drew 3-1 after 90 minutes, before the Ukrainian guests drew 3: 3 in wild final minutes. A point win that was celebrated like a victory. Finally, the Castro-Elf has won the direct comparison with the Croats and will be in the lead with equal points.
The Ukrainians should not lack self-confidence after this fall. The team hurries from success to success and can only surprise at Etihad Stadium basically. Even in a defeat will not change much in the starting position, because with a win on the final day against Atalanta Bergamo is the knockout stages (it would be the fourth in the last seven attempts) within reach.
Personnel must Luis Castro on Tuesday evening on Manor Solomon, Malyshev and Marlos renounce. Solomon and Marlos (injured and suspended) are two important offensive players, but with Junior Moraes, Tete and Taison, the Ukrainians also have a lot of quality to offer. With seven goals, the Ukrainian offensive has already convinced internationally. As a result, Manchester City and Shakhtar Donetsk could look forward to both teams as promising.
Expected formation of Shakhtar Donetsk:
↳ Pyatov – Ismaily, Matviienko, Kryvtsov, Dodo – Alan Patrick, Stepanenko – Taison, Kovalenko, Tete – Junior Moraes
