Shakhtar did a great job against Monaco in the two teams' first duel, and will now welcome Niko Kovac's team in Ukraine. Shakhtar won 1-0 in Monaco, thanks to Pedrinho's goal in the nineteenth minute of the game. These two clubs faced each other four times throughout history, with Shakhtar winning three, while ASM won only one match back in 1979. ASM is having quite an awful beginning to the season, winless in league with just one point from three matches. That is such poor form after Monaco finished third-placed last season, fighting for the title with Lille and PSG. On the flip side, the hosts are great in their championship as usual, winning four of the first five clashes there.

ASM visited Donetsk twice: in 2015 when they lost 3-0, and in 1979 when the guests lost 2-1. Monaco is on a three-game losing streak, not scoring a single goal in those three defeats. Kovac's men had to face Sparta Prag in the previous round of the qualifiers, winning 3-1 and 2-0 to advance to the final stage vs. Shakhtar. Donetsk met Genk in the previous stage, winning 2-1 on both occasions. The hosts' injuries for this game will be Junior Moraes, Valeriy Bondar, Anatoliy Trubin, and Georgiy Sudakov. The guests are without Jean Marcelin coming into this duel.

Monaco was dominating the field in all of their three recent losses, which makes those debacles even harder to take. They couldn't break Shakhtar's defense in the last meeting, also failing to capitalize on their chances. I cannot see Monaco winning this game. Donetsk is playing phenomenally under their new manager, Roberto de Zerbi who took charge of the hosts' squad after managing a very solid Italian team, Sassuolo. Donetsk was quite persuasive in its last league game, winning 3-0 against Odessa away from home without conceding a single shot on target.

I expect the hosts not to lose this one. Good luck!

矿工队在两队的首场对决中对摩纳哥队表现出色，现在将在乌克兰欢迎尼科-科瓦奇的球队。矿工队在摩纳哥1-0获胜，多亏了佩德里尼奥在比赛第19分钟的进球。这两家俱乐部在历史上四次交锋，矿工队赢了三场，而ASM在1979年只赢了一场。ASM的赛季开局相当糟糕，联赛三场比赛只得一分，联赛一胜。在上赛季摩纳哥排在第三，与里尔和巴黎圣日耳曼争夺冠军之后，这是多么糟糕的状态。另一方面，东道主在联赛中的表现一如既往的出色，在前五场比赛中赢得了四场。

ASM曾两次造访顿涅茨克:2015年，他们以0 - 3落败;1979年，客队以2-1落败。摩纳哥连输三场，在这三场失利中一球未进。科瓦奇的男足在预选赛的前一轮中不得不面对普拉格斯巴达，他们以3-1和2-0的比分战胜矿工队进入最后阶段。顿涅茨克在前一阶段与根克相遇，两场比赛均以2比1获胜。东道主将在本场比赛中受伤的有小莫拉莱斯，瓦莱里·邦达尔，阿纳托利·特鲁宾和乔治亚·苏达科夫。客人们没有让·马塞林参加这场决斗。

摩纳哥在最近的三场失利中都占据了主导地位，这使得那些失败更加难以承受。在上次的交锋中，他们没能突破矿工队的防守，也没能抓住机会。我不认为摩纳哥能赢得这场比赛。顿涅茨克队在新主帅罗伯托·德·泽比的带领下表现出色。德·泽比在执教过一支非常稳固的意大利球队萨索洛之后，接管了主队。顿涅茨克在上一场联赛中相当有说服力，客场3-0战胜敖德萨，一球未失。

我看好主队不会输掉这场比赛。好运！
