14.10.2026 · 22:00Yaşar Kenan Şeftalicioğlu provides his analysis
Shakhtar Donetsk stands out in this match for its productivity at home. In their last 5 overall matches, they scored 10 goals and conceded 3; they scored 2 goals per match, with a total goals average of 2.6. In the last 4 matches at home, scoring 10 goals, with a 2.5 goals-per-match average and 3.25 total goals, shows that their attacking strength becomes even more evident in front of their home crowd. Across all 4 of these matches, 1 and 2 or more goals were scored; 3 or more goals occurred in 50%, while 4 and 5 or more goals remained at 25%. AEK Athens’s overall record across the last 5 matches is also lively: they scored 12 goals and conceded 3, with a goals-per-match average of 2.4 and 3 total goals per match. However, in the last 3 away matches, scoring 4 goals, conceding 3 and falling to an average of 1.33 goals is noteworthy. Nevertheless, 1 or more and 2 or more goals were recorded in all of these matches; 3 or more goals occurred in 33 percent, while 4 or more and 5 or more goals remained at 0 percent. The rate of 3 or more goals is 60 percent for Shakhtar overall and 60 percent for AEK overall; therefore, the two sides’ recent profiles are similar regarding the full-time goal threshold.
In 80% of Shakhtar’s matches overall, 1 or more goals were scored in the first half; at home, this rate is 75%. AEK’s rate is 60% overall and only 33% away. In the first half, 2 or more goals occurred in 40 percent of Shakhtar’s matches overall and 50 percent at home, compared with 20 percent for AEK overall and 33 percent away. The goal timings suggest that most of the action may come in the second half: in their last 5 matches, Shakhtar scored 4 goals in the first half and 6 in the second; at home, the split is 3 to 7. They scored 3 goals at home, particularly between minutes 60 and 75. AEK, meanwhile, scored 3 goals in the first half and 9 in the second overall; away, the split is 1 to 3, with 2% of their away goals coming between 60 and 75, and 1% in the 75-90+ range. Both teams scored in 1/5 of Shakhtar’s matches overall and 1/4 at home; for AEK, the figures are 3/5 overall and 3/3 away. Across the combined last 10 matches, the expected goals total is 2.8, the rate of 2 or more goals is 100%, the rate of 3 or more is 60%, and both teams scored in 40%. There is no recent head-to-head data between them; in my view, the decisive factors will be Shakhtar’s early pressure at home and AEK’s increased goal threat, especially in the final half-hour.

14.10.2026 · 22:00Yaşar Kenan Şeftalicioğlu provides his analysis
Shakhtar Donetsk appears more inclined to take the game out wide and win corners in front of its home crowd. In the overall picture from the last few matches, the home team averages 5.4 corners per match, concedes 3.2 to its opponent, and has a total average of 8.6. At home, these figures fall to 4, 2.75 and 6.75; here, the probability of the total being 8 or more corners is 50 percent, while the figures for the thresholds of 9 or more and 10 or more corners are 11 percent and 12 percent, respectively, with 0 standing out. Overall, the rate is 60% at 8 or more and 20% at 9 or more; each of the 10, 11 and 12 or more corner thresholds stands at 20%. Shakhtar’s team rate of producing 3 or more corners is 80 percent overall and 75 percent at home; at the thresholds of 4 or more, those rates are 60 percent and 75 percent. AEK Athens, meanwhile, average 4.6 corners taken and 3.4 conceded per match overall, for a total average of 8; away, the figures are 4, 3.67 and 7.67. For AEK overall, the rate is 60% at 8 or more, and 40% from 9 to 12 or more corners; away, these rates are 67% and 33%, respectively. The highest totals are 16 for Shakhtar, 8 at home; and 13 for AEK, 12 away.
The corner balance starts with three matches in which each side took more corners than its opponent; Shakhtar did so three times in its last five matches and fell behind twice, while AEK recorded three advantages, one draw and one setback. The combined expectation is 8.3 corners, with 4.4 going to Shakhtar and 3.9 to AEK. Across the last ten matches, each of the 9, 10 and 11 or more corner thresholds occurred in 30% of matches—that is, 10 total corners across three matches. The first-half expectation is 4, but the distribution of the game’s rhythm is different: in Shakhtar’s home matches, the first-half total average is 2.75 and the second-half average is 4; for AEK away, the figures are 4.67 in the first half and 3 in the second. This distinction makes the opening scenario of the match particularly important. AEK may test the flanks more frequently in the early stages, while Shakhtar may increase its pressure and attacking continuity around the penalty area, particularly in the second half. What stands out to me is that, despite the home team’s limited total corner output at home, it frequently reaches a threshold of 3 or more in its own production; AEK’s rate of 0 percent at 6 or more corners away from home is another detail that could tip the balance in Shakhtar’s favor.

In this match between Shakhtar Donetsk and AEK Athens, the card balance clearly differs according to the conditions on the field for the two teams. In Shakhtar’s last 5 matches, the average total cards per match is 4, while its own card average is 1.6; across 4 home matches, those figures fall to 3.25 total cards and 0.75 for Shakhtar. The home team saw 3 or more cards in all of its home matches, while 4 or more cards occurred in only 25%; Shakhtar’s own rate of receiving 1 or more cards is also 75%. Overall, 3 or more cards occurred in 100% of matches, 4 or more in 60%, and 5 or more in 20%. The highest total is 6 cards. For AEK, the total average over the last 5 matches is 5.2, while the team’s own card average is 2; away from home, these rise to 6.33 total cards and 2 team cards. 3 or more cards occurred in all away matches, while each of the 5, 6 and 7 or more card thresholds stands at 67%. Away from home, AEK’s rate of 1 or more cards is 100%, its rate of 2 or more is 67%, and the highest total is 9 cards. Frankly, at first glance, AEK’s away tempo appears to be driving the card count.
Since the data contains neither the referee’s name nor statistics from recent matches, it is not possible to make an additional assessment based on the referee’s card standard; this will need to be monitored during the match. For red cards, the average is zero in both teams’ recent overall matches; nevertheless, the number of matches with a red card is 2 for Shakhtar and 3 for AEK. Across the combined 10-match sample, the rate of matches featuring a red card is 50 percent, so the possibility of the game becoming more physical when tensions rise cannot be ignored. The expected total is 4.6 cards: 2.4 for the home team and 2.2 for AEK. 4 or more cards occurred in 6 matches, at a rate of 60%; 5 or more in 4 matches, at 40%; and 6 or more in 3 matches, at 30%. The expected first-half total is 2.3 cards, while AEK’s away second-half average is 4; in my view, the match’s turning point will be the away team’s challenges during defensive transitions, especially in the second half.

Shakhtar DonetskvsAEK Athens
14.10.2026 · 22:00Yaşar Kenan Şeftalicioğlu provides his analysis
The Shakhtar Donetsk-AEK Athens match presents two different profiles in terms of set pieces and continuity of play. In their last 5 matches, Shakhtar averaged 4.6 free kicks taken, 2.6 conceded to the opponent, and 7.2 in total; at home, these figures fall to 3.5, 1.25 and 4.75. AEK Athens, meanwhile, are clearly more active overall, averaging 16 taken per match, leaving 14.8 to the opponent and reaching 30.8 in total. An away average of 18 taken, 14 conceded to the opponent, and 32 total free kicks. Shakhtar’s rate of reaching 9 or more team free kicks is 20% overall and 25% at home; for AEK, the rates are 100 and 100, while away, each of the 10, 11 and 12 or more thresholds stands at 100%. For goal kicks, Shakhtar average 4.2 compared with 9.6 for the opponent, for 13.8 in total; at home, the figures are 2.67, 10.67 and 13.33. AEK’s overall figures are 6, 9.4 and 15.4, while away from home they are 7.67, 10 and 17.67. Throw-ins are also more concentrated in AEK’s favor: Shakhtar average 20.6 taken and 16.8 conceded overall, for 37.4 total; at home, the figures are 21, 14.67 and 35.67. For AEK, they are 22.2, 15.2 and 37.4 overall, and 26, 17.33 and 43.33 away.
Interestingly, the combined expectation for free kicks is 19: 9.7 is projected for Shakhtar and 9.3 for AEK. This suggests that both teams could experience a physical match with frequent stoppages, although AEK’s high recent output has shifted the balance. The combined expectation for goal kicks is 14.6: 6.8 for Shakhtar and 7.8 for AEK. The rate of 11 or more total cards is 100% for Shakhtar overall and 67% at home; for AEK, it is 80% overall and 100% away. The combined expectation for throw-ins is 37.4; 17.9 for the home team and 19.5 for the visitors. Shakhtar’s overall rate at 32 or more is 80, and 100 at home; AEK’s overall rate is 80 and 100 away. At team level, the rate of 20 or more throw-ins is 60% overall and 67% at home for Shakhtar; for AEK, it is 80% overall and 100% away. Since there is no half-by-half breakdown, I am not drawing conclusions from the difference between the first and second halves; however, this table points to a match in which AEK takes the game toward the wings, while Shakhtar remains more controlled at home. It will be worth watching the duels around the touchlines and how far back the goalkeepers start play; nevertheless, these are indicators based on only the last few matches.
