Feyenoord and Shakhtar Donetsk meet in Rotterdam for the second leg of their Europa League round-of-16 showdown on Thursday, with the tie finely poised at 1-1.

The Dutch side controlled large spells of the first leg but failed to make the most of their dominance, allowing Shakhtar to set up a winner-takes-all decider at De Kuip.

Players to watch: Feyenoord’s Santiago Giménez has scored in three of his last four competitive appearances, while his two most recent UEL goals came in the 60th and 69th minute.

Scorer from the first leg, Yaroslav Rakitskyi will be out to bury the ghost of his last visit to this venue when he was sent off after 75 minutes back in 2017/18.

Hot stat: Five of Feyenoord’s last six competitive home games have produced a red card.
