Stamford Bridge in London will stage this league phase match on 14 October, as Shakhtar Donetsk continue to play their European home fixtures away from Ukraine. Their opponents are AEK Athens, who arrive with the better points tally of the two.
AEK opened the campaign with a 1–0 home win against LASK, Marin scoring in the 21st minute, and have three points. Shakhtar drew 1–1 away at PSV Eindhoven, leading 1–0 at half-time before conceding an equaliser, and have one point.
Statistically the two teams arrive with different profiles: AEK have yet to concede in the competition, while Shakhtar have both scored and conceded once. A tight contest is a plausible scenario given that AEK’s opener was decided by a single goal and Shakhtar’s finished level.

An AEK victory would take them to six points and leave Shakhtar on one, while a Shakhtar win would put them on four, one ahead of their opponents’ current total.
