Shakhtar Donetsk

Shakhtar Donetsk have shown inconsistent form in their recent matches, with their last six games yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The team's defensive vulnerabilities are evident, having conceded 10 goals in this period, including a heavy 5-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Their most recent outing, a 1-0 victory against CSKA Sofia in a friendly, might provide a much-needed confidence boost after two consecutive losses in competitive fixtures.

Brest

Brest are currently enjoying a remarkable run of form, having won five of their last six matches across all competitions. The team have been particularly impressive in their goal-scoring prowess, netting 11 times in these six games, with a standout 4-1 victory against Nantes in Ligue 1 on 15 December 2024. Their only blemish during this period was a 2-0 away defeat to Angers, but they've bounced back strongly with three consecutive wins. Brest's defensive record has also been solid, conceding just six goals and keeping one clean sheet. With 67% of their matches seeing both teams score and over 2.5 goals, Brest's recent fixtures have been entertaining affairs for spectators. Their current three-match winning streak across Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France demonstrates their consistency and good form heading into future fixtures.

Recent home/away form

Shakhtar Donetsk

Shakhtar Donetsk have shown mixed form at home recently, with three wins, two draws, and one loss in their last six matches. Their home performances have been characterised by high-scoring encounters, with 83% of these games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in five out of six matches. The Miners have been particularly prolific in front of goal, netting 16 times at an impressive average of 2.67 goals per game. However, their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 10 goals in this period. A standout result was their emphatic 6-0 victory over Inhulets in the Premier League, showcasing their attacking prowess. Conversely, they suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, highlighting potential vulnerabilities against top-tier opposition. Despite this setback, Shakhtar have maintained an unbeaten run in their domestic league fixtures at home during this period.

Brest

Brest's recent away form has been rather inconsistent, with the team struggling to find their footing on the road. They have managed just two wins in their last six away matches, suffering four defeats in the process. Notably, Brest endured a challenging run of three consecutive away losses before securing a narrow 1-0 victory against La Roche VF in the Coupe de France. Their defensive frailties have been particularly evident, conceding an average of two goals per game and keeping only one clean sheet in this period. The team's matches have tended to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their away games featuring over 2.5 goals. Their recent 3-2 loss to AS Monaco stands out as a particularly goal-laden encounter, showcasing both Brest's attacking potential and defensive vulnerabilities on their travels.
