Welcome to the live broadcast of the third matchday of the UEFA Conference League league phase, where Ukraine's Shakhtar Donetsk hosts Icelandic champions Breidablik at their nominal home stadium in Krakow. For the 'Miners,' this is an excellent opportunity to bounce back from a disappointing defeat in the last round and strengthen their position in the fight for a top spot.
Kick-off: November 6, 2025, 17:45 UTC (20:45 MSK) Stadium: Henryk Reyman's Municipal Stadium, Krakow Competition: UEFA Conference LeagueShakhtar Donetsk vs Breidablik: Match Preview
Shakhtar comes into this match in high spirits after a 3-1 victory in the Ukrainian 'Clasico' against Dynamo Kyiv, which solidified their first-place position in the UPL. In the Conference League, the 'Miners' have had mixed results so far: an away win against Aberdeen (3-2) was followed by a frustrating home loss to Legia Warsaw (1-2), with the decisive goal conceded in the final seconds. Breidablik, on the other hand, is one of the tournament's underdogs. The season in Iceland has already concluded, with the team finishing in fourth place, thus missing out on European competition for next season. In the Conference League, the Icelandic side has yet to secure a victory. This will be the first official meeting between the clubs.
Team Form and Analysis
Shakhtar Donetsk
The 'Miners' are considered one of the tournament favorites and will be aiming for a top-8 finish to avoid the knockout play-off round. The team has sufficient squad depth to compete on two fronts. The victory over Dynamo should have boosted their confidence after a loss to the same opponent in the Ukrainian Cup. Shakhtar has several players out with injuries, including Lassina Traoré and Dmytro Kryskiv, but their absence should not be critical against such an opponent.
Breidablik
For the Icelandic club, qualifying for the main stage of a European competition is already a great success. The team began their journey in the Champions League qualifiers but eventually dropped down to the Conference League. As the Icelandic season has ended, Breidablik has not had any official match practice since late October, which is a significant disadvantage. In their history, Breidablik has faced a Ukrainian club only once - in the 2023/24 season, they lost twice to Zorya Luhansk.
Predicted Starting Lineups
Official lineups will be confirmed one hour before kick-off.
- Shakhtar (4-1-4-1): Riznyk; Konoplia, Bondar, Matviyenko, Azarov; Stepanenko; Zubkov, Bondarenko, Sudakov, Kevin; Sikan.
- Breidablik (4-3-3): Einarsson; Gunnlaugsson, Muminović, Margeirsson, Jónsson; Sigurjónsson, Einarsson, Steindórsson; Yeoman, Úlfarsson, Ómarsson.
Match Prediction by tutsport.net
Shakhtar is the undisputed favorite in this matchup. The difference in class, current match fitness, and the advantage of their (albeit nominal) home ground make a victory for the Ukrainian club almost a foregone conclusion. It will be extremely difficult for Breidablik, who have already finished their season, to offer any resistance to the motivated 'Miners.'
- Main Prediction: Shakhtar to Win with a (-1.5) Handicap. The 'Miners' should comfortably beat the group's underdog to avoid complicating their path to the knockout stages.
- Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Shakhtar has a powerful attack, and against a modest opponent, the team is likely to treat its fans to plenty of goals.
