My Prediction
Stade Brestois by 1Delving into this clash of titans, we're pitting Stade Brestois against Shakhtar Donetsk. Don't forget to keep the allergy meds at arm's reach, this one's expected to be quite the pollen fest.
Goalkeeper Marco Bizot has been a stalwart for Brestois, pulling in a 7.35 rating and diving around for a whopping 20 saves! Meanwhile, Shakhtar's keeper, Dmytro Riznyk, isn't just sitting pretty either. With a sterling 7.60 rating and 31 saves, he could probably net fish with those numbers.
Dipping into Brestois's deep squad, the likes of Pierre Lees Melou and Abdoulaye Ndiaye, who have been leading the pack in rehearsals, are worth a glance. Melou's managed to rack up a 7.75 rating along with a goal and an impressive 79.4% accurate passing. Ndiaye, while not so keen on shooting at even the broad sides of barns, boasts a nearly robotic 84.2% passing accuracy.
Meanwhile, Donetsk's dynamic duo of Oleksandr Zubkov and Vinícius Tobías keep their team afloat. Zubkov's got 2 goals under his belt and a 78.1% passing accuracy to boot. Vinícius, well, he apparently didn't get the memo about football involving scoring goals and has yet to convert one. But, in his favor, a lofty 95.5% passing accuracy seems to be his consolation.
Tournament records tell a bit of our brutal opera here. Brestois spends more time in the winner's circle with a 4-1-1 standing, while Donetsk seems more accustomed to the kiddie table at 1-1-4.
The recent back pages point to a Brestois battling like a French bulldog, recently grinding a 1-0 victory against PSV Eindhoven, their only sour note being a 3-0 loss at the feet of Barcelona. Donetsk, meanwhile, has some patchy form with a recent 5-1 thrashing from Bayern Munich, and a 3-2 slip against PSV Eindhoven. Seems like Eindhoven is looked upon pretty favorably by Brestois nowadays.
Now, strap on your feathered caps and fasten your seatbelts, because I'm leaning towards a Stade Brestois victory here. Let's chalk it up to their recent sharper form, solid goalkeeping, and neuron-like precision in their passing. My call: it'll be tight - squeaker tight.
