[17] SHAKHTAR — BREADABLIC [30] THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 7:45 p.m. CITY STADIUM NAMED H. REYMAN, KRAKOW (POLAND). CHIEF REFEREE — ANDREI KIVULETE (ROMANIA). LIVE ON MEGOGO
Shakhtar returns to the Euro arena on the back of a successful Classic in the championship. After an away defeat against Dynamo (1:2) in the round of 16 of the Ukrainian Cup last Wednesday, the Donetsk team dealt with the Kyiv team in Lviv on Sunday (3:1). Now, in the UPL standings, the leading “orange-blacks” are ahead of the “white-blues”, as well as LNZ and Kryvbas, by four points.
A round earlier in the League of Conferences, the team of Arda Turan suffered an unfortunate defeat against the Polish Legia (1:2) in Krakow, conceding in the 90th + 4th minute. Shakhtar is in the zone of exit to the 1/16 finals of the playoffs and will hope to get closer to the top 8 today, thanks to the three points obtained in the away, debut match of the tournament against Scotland’s Aberdeen (3:2).
The Icelandic opponent of the Donetsk team from Koupavogur, after an away defeat against the Swiss Lausanne (0:3) and a home draw with the Finnish KuPS (0:0), will try not to worsen their not too small chances to reach the playoffs of the European Cups for the first time. In the second round, LK Breidablik made his debut under the leadership of Ólafur Ingi Skulason, who replaced Halldóur Arnason.
In the domestic arena, Arnason’s team failed to defend the championship title. Breidablik finished fourth, losing to Stjarnan on additional points, which the club from Koupavogur, already led by Skulason, beat (3:2) on the road in the last round of the Iceland 2025 championship. Today, for the Icelanders, success will not be a crushing defeat, but there are considerable doubts about whether they can achieve it.
According to bookmakers, Arda Turan’s wards are the favorites for the confrontation. So, you can bet on the victory of Shakhtar with a coefficient of 1.17, while the potential success of Breidablik is estimated at an indicator of 14.20. The probability of a draw is represented by the coefficient 8.65.
WORDS BEFORE THE MATCH 
Arda Turan, head coach of Shakhtar: “We want to show a reaction after the defeat against Legia. We will go on the field to show our best level. Some of our players are the future of Shakhtar, so I am looking forward to tomorrow’s match to see the level of play and the team. We will try to add and act with confidence on the field. We want to win, because the Conference League is also one of our main goals. We will try to transfer this positive enthusiasm on the field.”
Alaa Gram, central defender of Shakhtar: “All matches are important for us, and the upcoming one against Breidablik is one of them. We have to do everything to win, because we need to keep the rhythm. We recently beat Dynamo in the last match, but the Conference League is also very important for us. I hope we can do everything to win.”
