Shakhtar Donetsk vs.
Juventus: Preview and
TV schedule
By Zach Woosley on Dec 5, 9:33a +
S hakhtar is through to the next round,
Juventus just need a point to secure their
spot. A bland, scoreless draw seems in the
cards, but you never know.
Oh what a twisted web Shakhtar and
Juventus could weave today in the Ukraine.
Shakhtar is safely through to the Round of
16, while Juevntus simply need one point to
secure their place. Sure winning the group
is always preferable to improve your
chances of avoiding a "big" club in the next
round, but so making sure you're in the
next round is also good.
Of course, just what these teams will do is a
mystery. They've said all the right things to
the press but there's a good chance they'll
just kick the ball around for 90 minutes and
both start preparing for the knockout
round draw.
CONSPIRACY!
If this match ends as a dull scoreless draw
you can expect all sorts of cries from
various English fans and media outlets
claiming some kind of nefarious conspiracy.
This is stupid because Chelsea would be
glad to just get their point and move were
they in the same position as either of these
teams.
Shakhtar Donetsk injuries and
suspensions
Out: Luiz Adriano (suspended). In doubt:
Dmytro Chygrynskiy (thigh), Tomas
Hubschmann (thigh).
Juventus injuries and suspensions
Out: Claudio Marchisio (suspended).
Adriano is suspended for his infamous goal
against Nordsjaelland, while both defenders
Chygrynskiy and Hubschmann's availability
is up in the air with both struggling with
thigh injuries. Juventus's Marchisio will sit
this one out serving a one-match ban for
yellow card accumulation.
