Toulouse – Shaktar Donetsk, Match Preview – Europa League Group J
Shakhtar Donetsk with the experienced coach Lucescu is accepted one of the Europa League title contenders while they are kind of the title holders by winning the last UEFA Cup. Their strongest part is the defensive approach to the games with having great attacking options when needed. They are kind of a team that makes the opponents sleep and then take a bite. This kind of game style is a great advantage in European Cup competitions.
Toulouse on the other hand is struggling in both domestic and European competitions. Although on the last matchday in French League they were able to grab a point from Marseille with ten men, the team lacks quality in many areas.
There is an obvious class difference between both teams and Shaktar Donetsk will not be generous to give out all the three points here.
