Vice-champion of Ukraine Shakhtar, the match with the Turkish “Konyaspor” starts in the group stage of the Europa League.
The first autumn Pitmen’s opponents will be the bronze medalist of the championship of Turkey “Konyaspor”, for which the match with “Shakhtar” will be the debut in the European competitions.
“Konyaspor” in the new season played only three matches (1-2-0), Shakhtar not so long ago began the second dozen matches. On paper, the favouritism of “Shakhtar” there is no doubt – the Ukrainian club superior opponent on all indicators, it remains only to confirm his class on the field.
That may disturb Paulo Fonseca before the opening match of the group stage of the Europa League, so it’s crowded infirmary – kanibolotskiy, Azevedo, Srna, Shevchuk, Matvienko, Seleznev did not fly with Shakhtar in Turkey. The rest of the players, including Tyson, ready to take the field.
Still not solved the problem with the implementation of their moments – “the miner” almost every match creates half a dozen dangerous attacks, but the composure in the final phase the players of the “orange and black” leaves much to be desired.
In a parallel match in Portugal, Braga will play against Gent.
Preliminary formulations:
Konyaspor: Kirintili – Skubic, Turan Uslu, Vukovic – Bajic, Findikli, Hadžiahmetović, Milosevic – Sönmez, Sahiner.
Shakhtar: Pyatov – Butko, Kucher, Rakitskiy, Ismaily, Stepanenko, Fred, Marlos, Kovalenko, Bernard Ferreira.
