Shakhtar managed to beat Rennes in the previous head-to-head game, but will the Miners get another victory on February 16? The answer is in our prediction.

Command Analysis

Shakhtar Donetsk

Shakhtar started the Champions League group stage with a crushing 4:1 victory over Leipzig, which turned out to be their only win of the campaign, while the Bulls got into the playoffs along with Real. However, Igor Jovicevic's men managed to beat Celtic in a fight for the Europa League play-off spot and it is surely a successful result for Shakhtar, given team's persistent injury problems.

Rennes

Rennes ended up in a relatively easy Europa League group with Fenerbahce being their toughest opponent. Along with the Canaries, Bruno Genesio's team advanced into the playoffs, leaving AEK Larnaca and Dynamo Kyiv behind. Rennes are currently at the 6th position in Ligue 1, but still have a chance to reach the Champions League zone - they are just seven points behind 3rd placed Monaco.

Tip and bets

TipHandicap (0) on Rennes

1.60

Rennes failed to impress in recent matches, but team is still in a decent form. The Red-Blacks are clear favourites of the upcoming match - French side has a much better line-up, especially after the departure of Mykhaylo Mudryk to Chelsea. It won't be an easy game, but Rennes should be able to get a narrow victory.

Tipboth to score

1.77

Shakhtar tend to play offensively in European competitions. They scored eight goals in the Champions League group stage. Rennes make many defensive mistakes, so they are unlikely to keep a clean sheet today, but the Red-Blacks also have some strong offensive players, so we offer to place a bet on both teams to score.
