Wolfsburg hosts Shakhtar Donetsk in the first leg of the Europa League 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, March 12th at Volkswagen Arena (Wolfsburg)
In the last round, Wolfsburg knocked out Malmo from the tournament, having beaten the Swedes at home (2-1) and away (3-0). In general, the Wolves quite efficiently stride through the European League. They scored in all eight Euro cup matches, but they conceded goals in five of them. They will miss this time either, despite the home status of the match.
The words “Shakhtar” and “the attack” have been synonyms for the last eight years. In the local championship, the Miners have no equal in terms of scoring - 59 goals scored after 22 matches. In the last game, the miner defeated Spike 4-3. In the Champions League (namely from there the Ukrainian club went down to the Europa League), Shakhtar did not score only to the nets of Man City and Atalanta. And it conceded in all six rounds. In the last stage of the Europa League, the Miners beat Benfica at home (2-1) and tied away (3-3). As you can see, the team scored and conceded in almost every match.

Shakhtar selected excellent attacking performers in recent years. From time to time, they join very strong European clubs, such as Manchester City, Chelsea and so on. And now the Miners have Marlos, Alan Patrick, Moraes, Taison, Tete, and Konoplyanka. These guys score in almost every match. Wolfsburg cannot boast of defense reliability – it conceded in five out of eight matches in the Europa League. As for the local championship, the Wolves conceded 30 goals in 25 rounds. I think the teams that have good attacking lines and obvious problems in defense will exchange goals in the upcoming match.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
