Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk will meet again in the UEFA Champions League 6th round at the Estádio Do Dragão Stadium, Porto Wednesday, December 13, 2023. Live streaming information, how to watch, match previews and lineup predictions can be found in this article.
Even though Porto suffered a surprising 1-2 defeat to Barcelona in their previous match, they are still in full control of their own destiny. They are currently in second place in Group H with 9 points, ahead of Shakhtar Donetsk who are just below them thanks to goal difference.
However, don’t underestimate Shakhtar Donetsk. They have shown impressive stability by winning 3 games in a row. However, this match will be a big challenge for them, because they have to play at home to Porto, and history is not on their side. In the 5 previous meetings with Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk only managed to achieve 2 draws and suffered 3 defeats.
In fact, Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk still have a chance to win Group H, provided that the results of the match between the two teams are unbalanced, and Barcelona surprisingly lost to Antwerp.
For now, the one who has definitely qualified for the last 16 of the UCL is Barcelona, who has collected 12 points from 5 matches. Meanwhile, the results of the duel between Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk will determine who will qualify for the knockout phase, and who will go down to the lower European level, the Europa League.
Ahead of the 6th round of the UCL duel, representatives of the Primeira Liga, Portugal will be without 3 players who have not yet recovered from injury, namely Gabriel Veron, Marcano and Wendell. On the other hand, Ukrainian Premier League representatives Shakhtar Donetsk will also be without Traore, while the status of Chygrynskiy and Konoplya remains unclear.
Porto is considered superior to the visiting team in this duel. Porto have won 3 games in a row at their home ground, and in 5 of their last 6 home games, only one team has scored.
On the other hand, in 5 of Shakhtar Donetsk’s last 6 away matches, there were at least 5 yellow cards shown. This shows that this match will probably be fierce.
