Brest will be looking to secure their place in the Champions League play-offs with a win against Shakhtar Donetsk at the VELTINS Arena on Wednesday.
The away team have won their last three matches in domestic competitions and have also won two out of three in the Champions League, namely against Sparta Prague and PSV. Their only defeat in the group stage came in a game against Barcelona, but otherwise they have put in an impressive performance and go into this game as favourites.
Shakhtar have not been doing so well of late, winning just one of their last five matches in all competitions. They have lost four of their last five Champions League games and even a win on Wednesday would leave them out of the play-in places.
Shakhtar Donetsk vs Brest Betting Tips: Brest to Win or Draw (X2)
Shakhtar had played three friendlies during the winter break, winning two and drawing one, but this should not be taken too seriously given the paucity of friendlies. Looking at the official fixtures, Shakhtar have won just once in their last five matches in all competitions (1W 1D 3L), including two defeats in the Champions League against Bayern and PSV Eindhoven.
Brest have won three in a row in all competitions and have only lost once in the Champions League this season (3-0 to Barcelona) and could potentially get automatically qualified for the next round. It is obvious that Brest go into this game in much better form and are expected to at least not lose.
FC Shakhtar Donetsk team news
Shakhtar do not have any major injury concerns ahead of this game and should field its strongest team.
