Both teams are enjoying good runs in recent matches. Shakhtar are unbeaten in their last eight matches with the only blur in their fine streak being the draw with Hoffenheim. They have won all the rest and head tio this game straight after a 6 - 1 win away from home. They have scored 15 goals in the last five matches, an average of three per game and they will be a force to reckon with going into this match.Meanwhile, Lyon carry a five - game unbeaten run, with three wins and two draws heading to this game and perhaps their biggest issue of concern going to this game will be the fact that they do not keep too many clean sheets. The French giants have managed one clean sheet in their last six matches, which is not so good a precedent going to a game against a team with an average of three goals a game in the last five. Shakhtar have managed three clean sheets in their last five matches; they are enjoying a really good run domestically but where the scales tip is in the Champions League especially away from home. Here Shakhtar have managed just one win in the last eight matches, and in the process they have managed to score in just one game. They will definitely be worried about this run. However, they take on a Lyon side with five losses in the last eight Champions League home matches.
