Thoughts on the match Igor Khudobyak:
“Donetsk has a good streak of five consecutive victories, which will certainly help Shakhtar, but the victory in the Champions League will resonate the most, it will give confidence to the boys. But the biggest problem for Shakhtar may be that they will not impose their game, their counterattacks on PSV, because the Dutch will dominate. But I still believe that Shakhtar will not be able to beat PSV on the road.”
Thoughts on the match Oleksandr Kucher:
“We hope for a good result. We want victory for Shakhtar, it will not be easy, but everything is possible. I will make a comparison – I watched the match between PSV and Ajax. This is the only meeting in which Shakhtar’s opponents conceded in the championship. Ajax is a young team, like the miners, they beat PSV, losing twice in the course of the match. They were able to score more and stop them. Young, dynamic, fast football players were able to beat an experienced team that performs well in the Champions League.”
Maryno Pushych and Dmytro Kryskiv about the match in Eindhoven:
PSV and Shakhtar won their first Champions League victories in the last round. The club from Eindhoven defeated Girona – 4:0.
And the Donetsk team beat Young Boys — 2:1.
Interestingly, PSV has five wins and six losses against Ukrainian teams in UEFA tournaments, Shakhtar has two wins for five losses against Dutch teams. But the clubs have not yet met each other in official matches.

New format

There is now one table for all clubs. Each team will play eight matches. Moreover, all games will be played against different opponents. Four matches at home, four away.
The final table is formed based on the results of eight rounds. The top 8 teams immediately go to the 1/8 finals. Clubs ranked from 9th to 24th place play head-to-head matches for the right to enter the 1/8 finals. The teams ranked below leave the European Cups. There will no longer be a transition to the Europa League at the main stage.
