Shakhtar Donetsk vs RB Leipzig – By defeating Real Madrid on the last matchday, Leipzig pulled off an unexpected victory. They also intend to continue this momentum into the knockout rounds. Though it is not yet guaranteed. This Wednesday against the helpless Donetsk, they must at least draw.
The Red Bulls’ Champions League campaign this year got off to a nightmare start as they were defeated at home by Shakhtar, 1-4. It took them some time to get over that loss’ repercussions.
In any case, they succeeded, and they are currently unbeaten in the CL. They even ended Real Madrid’s supposedly unbreakable undefeated streak, the 14-time defending champions of Europe.
The Red Bulls are currently positioned second in the table and lead Donetsk by a margin of three points for the day. Therefore, even a draw would help them guarantee a spot in the knockout rounds.
However, Shakhtar have nothing to lose in this game because a loss will send them into the Europa League. They are certain to place third at the very least. They are going to take a lot of chances, so the German squad will need to exercise caution in this situation.
They are also behind Real Madrid by one point, and if luck were on their side, they might even dethrone the Royal Whites from first place.
In any case, on Wednesday, expect a tough battle between the two motivated squads. The two teams are under pressure, thus mistakes are to be expected in abundance. Goals are also anticipated in great numbers.
