Monaco and Shakhtar Donetsk should feel that draw for the playoff round in qualifiers for the group stages of the UEFA Champions League was harsh as it seems that both teams have the quality to play in the elite European club competition. Read our Monaco vs Shakhtar Donetsk prediction and betting tips.
Monaco didn't start Ligue 1 as they wanted, after two rounds they have only one point. Niko Kovač's team had opposite performances in the qualifiers for the UCL and domestic competition. It is according to plan if you ask Monaco fans because the main goal in this part of the season is to book a place among elite clubs in Europe and Ligue 1 could wait for now. Monaco used almost all second-string players on Friday in a loss against Lorient in which they showed a lack of concentration on both sides of the pitch. They conceded the goal from a penalty and missed several chances to maybe grab a point.
Niko Kovač has a lot of quality in this roster, many players with the potential to play in the better clubs in years to come, a good mix of youngsters and experienced veteran players as Ben Yedder or Fabregas. On-loan Bayern Monaco goalkeeper Nubel should be one of the revelations for the home fans, central defenders Disasi and Badiashile caught the eye of big clubs in the last season, Golovin, Gelson Martins, Jean Lucas, Boadu or youngster Diop are there to perform and reach highest possible on the transfer market in a short period. Monaco has the skill and speed and several players that could change the direction of the game in one move or action. They are unpredictable but able to make a mess of rivals' defense in any game.
Monaco: Nubel; Aguilar, Disasi, Maripan, Henrique; Martins, Fofana, Tchouameni, Golovin; Ben Yedder, Volland
Shakhtar Donetsk's season is always judged by their performances in European competitions. They are present in almost every season in UEL or UCL with significant results and they are not a team that you want in your group or knockout phase. There are several reasons for that, first, Shakhtar invests money in building a better team every season, they are a good mix of South American, Brasilian players, and domestic Ukrainian players, and they are always coached by some great football mind. This time it is one of the finest Italian managers, Roberto De Zerbi who left Sassuolo after two years with some great memories of brilliant results and performances.
De Zerbi was key to the football progress of Italian players, Berardi and Locatelli were part of the Italian national team in EURO, Sassuolo played very attractive and entertaining football and grab some great wins against bigger and wealthier clubs in Italy. Now, he will try to bring some of that charisma and flair in Donetsk and lift Shakhtar on another level. The team roster is great, in matches against Genk, in the previous round, in two 2-1 victories, they had 8 Brasilians in the starting lineup, Lassina Traore from Burkina Faso, and two Ukrainians Trubin and Matvienko.
Shakhtar Donetsk: Trubin; Dodo, Marlon, Kryvtsov, Matvienko; Stepanenko, Antonio; Tete, Patrick, Solomon; Traore

It should be an interesting matchup as both teams have great quality. Monaco was better than Sparta Prague 5-1 on aggregate to get this opportunity, while the visitors beat Genk 4-2 overall in two matches. Forward lines could make difference as the defenses look without focus from time to time. BettingKick’s Monaco vs Shakhtar Donetsk prediction is: Both teams to score.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
