Shakhtar Donetsk form and stats

Shakhtar have not come this way in the Champions League without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Genk. Last season, Shakhtar's Champions League journey ended in the group stage.

Shakhtar Donetsk must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Premier League games here at Oblasny SportKomplex Metalist. This match is a Champions League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 3 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses in this competition.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Anatolii Trubin not having conceded a league goal in 249 minutes.

A strong away win for Shakhtar against Chornomorets the last match, as Heorhii Sudakov, Manor Solomon and Alan Patrick were on target.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Monaco and winning 1-0.

The manager R. De Zerbi will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Minai in only four days.

The Shakhtar fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 5 goals in 3 league matches. 3 goals have been conceded.

The traveling awayteam has defeated Sparta Praha in order to reach play-offs of Champions League.

The story so far for the visiting team on their Ligue 1 travels is 0 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat. When we have look at the Champions League statistics, we find 2W-0D-1L. This is both home and away.

Monaco aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 256 league minutes without a goal. G. Martins was the last player to find the net.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Ligue 1 home defeat versus Lens with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Defender Ruben Aguilar was the best team player with a rating of 7.63. Aguilar hit two key passes and won 6 of 10 duels.

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Shakhtar Donetsk.

Monaco have another match away from home in just four nights, a Ligue 1 match versus Troyes. A hard timetable for the visiting team!

Monaco have the goal stats of 0-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
