The Donetsk Shakhtar will play in the Europa League next season and, according to the rules of the Ukrainian Championship, should start from the first round of qualification, but there is one but there.

Due to the fact that the Spanish Bety and the English Chelsea, who will meet in the conference League finals, have already bored their vouchers in the LE/LH for the next season, they do not need a voucher that is booked for the winner of the third European Cup.

Therefore, this permit will be received by a team that has made its way into the qualification of the tournament and has the highest coefficient among other participants.

Shakhtar is currently the same team, having 52 points. But it can be ahead of Dynamo from Zagreb.

The fact is that Dynamo has become the second in the Croatian Championship and currently has a voucher at the conference League. But in the final of the country Cup is found RiEK (champion, who will play in the Champions League) and Slavic Bellupo (5th place).

In the event of Rijeka’s victory in the finale, a voucher to the League of Europe (in the main stage) will get Dynamo Zagreb, whereas if the famous Beelupo defends, then the Croatia in the LE will be represented (but from the first round of qualification), and Shakhtar in this case will be missing the Euros.

The first duel of the two -match confrontation ended with a draw 1: 1. Bookmakers believe more in Rijeka, giving a factor of 1.33 on the fact that they win the cup. On the famous Belupo coefficient 3.1.
