Shakhtar Donetsk have gained positive result in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals against Braga. Now they are expected to host Portuguese club at home and again show solid performance and quality game.
Shakhtar have been having quite a good spell in the eurocups this season, however, they have some problems in the domestic league. Last weekend Lucescu’s side failed to beat stubborn Stal (3:3), as they slip the lead in the additional time. Now Shakhtar are 5 points behind leading Dynamo Kyiv in the table of the Ukrainian league and it’s possible Shakhtar won’t be able to overtake their rivals as few games left to play.

Paulo Fonseca’s side went downhill which is proved by their recent results. First they were beaten by Benfica 1:5, then suffered 1:2 defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk and tied Moreirense 1:1. Sporting Braga are currently 4th in the Liga NOS with 51 points earned. This place will allow Fonseca’s men to partake in the Europa League next season.
Shakhtar strive to proceed to the semifinals of the Europa League and will do all they can to win this game. Shakhtar Donetsk have proven there are stronger than Braga on the road, now they need to do this at home.
Prediction: Shakhtar to win.
