Team News
The hosts have no injury concerns ahead of this clash. Meanwhile; Traore, Terrier, Assignon and Xeka are ruled out for the French side.
Shakhtar possible 11:
Trubin, Taylor, Bondar, Matviyenko, Mykhaylychenko, Stepanenko, Bondarenko, Sudakov, Kryskiv, Zubkov and Traore
Rennes possible 11:
Mandanda, Truffert, Theate, Rodon, Spence, Bourigeaud, Tait, Santamaria, Doku, Gouiri and Ekambi
Prediction: Shakhtar 1-1 Rennes
With both sides not in best of forms, we expect a draw in this clash.
Shakhtar have the edge as they will be at home but recent stats and consistent issues have affected their season.
Rennes too haven’t been potent enough and suffered across competitions. Hence, a stalemate remains favourable.
Players to watch out for: Sudakov, Traore, Doku and Santamaria.
