Champions League: SSC Napoli – Shakhtar. The announcement of the match

Champion of Ukraine Shakhtar in Naples will hold a defining match of the group stage of the Champions League.

Two victories over Feyenoord came close “Shakhtar” to the first 2015 to hit in the playoffs of the Champions League. To solve this problem, “miners” in the remaining two matches is enough to score one point.

Of course, the team, Paulo Fonseca doesn’t want to delay exit in the playoffs in a home game against Manchester city, let the “Citizens” will be brought to Kharkiv and back part. You must get positive results at the “San Paolo”, but this would be very difficult, because Napoli
despite the half-empty stadium will be the last to cling to his last chance to play in the Champions League.

There is no doubt that the Neapolitans priority is Serie a, where the team of Maurizio Sarri after 13 rounds, two points ahead of the nearest pursuer. Shakhtar, on the contrary, all the forces of throwing the competition, but in the championship of Ukraine allow himself to play carelessly, which leads to unexpected misfires in matches with “Chernomorets” or “Alexandria”.

In favor of the “miners”, as this is a personnel problem, “Napoli” in the defensive line – faouzi ghoulam and Calida Coulibaly for various reasons will not help the hosts in today’s match. Shakhtar will not play Darijo Srna, Serhiy Kryvtsov and Maxim Malyshev, but these losses Fonseca and his coaching staff have long been accustomed to.

Preliminary formulations:

Napoli: Reina – Husi, Albiol, Chiricheş, Mário Rui — Allan, Jorginho, Hamsik – Callejon, Mertens, Insigne.

Shakhtar: Pyatov — Butko, Ordets, Rakitskiy, Ismaily, Fred, Stepanenko, Marlos, Taison, Bernard, Ferreyra.
