Groundhog day has returned for Shakhtar Donetsk, they are set to engage with Manchester City FC in the Champions League group tables for the third successive season. The previous emphasis doesn’t disappear completely for the Ukrainians, and there is a little bit to commend something will be shifting this time around. The host may have experience playing roughly to the Ukrainian Premier League finals by a nine points margin last year, but the Manchester City presents more than tangible threat compared to their domestic opponent. From the last season’s group table engagements saw Manchester City for winning both games by an aggregate score of 9 – 0, and their only accomplishment against the Citizens coming from day 6 game of the 2018-18 tournament against the tough rotated team.
Manchester City is currently not in the best form of their lives and struggling from their defeat from Aymeric Laporte at the back. However, this serious reason about defensive weakness doesn’t change their threat at the other squad, they have 16 goals in total within their five Premier League games so far. Man City’s boss Pep Guardiola is still accountable for three of their five losses coming from the last 2 seasons of Champions League tournament, however, given that they are still collecting points, their weakness in defense must be addressed immediately for the upcoming matchup and improve as needed in the campaign.
