Mönchengladbach, meanwhile, have drawn both games 2-2, conceding in the 90th minute at Inter in their opening fixture and then in the 87th and 93rd minutes to let slip a two-goal lead at home to Madrid. • This is the sides' first fixture, and only Mönchengladbach's fifth game against a club from Ukraine. Form guide Shakhtar • Shakhtar qualified as winners of the Ukrainian league, claiming the title for the 13th time – and fourth in a row – in 2019/20. • UEFA Champions League quarter-finalists in 2010/11, Shakhtar are in the group stage for the 15th time and have progressed no further on ten of the previous 14 occasions, including the last two. • The Pitmen finished third in their section in 2019/20, a 3-0 Matchday 6 defeat at home to Atalanta sending them into the UEFA Europa League. Shakhtar picked up six points in last season's group stage to finish behind Manchester City and the Italian club. • Luís Castro's side went on to beat Benfica (2-1 h, 3-3 a) and Wolfsburg (2-1 a, 3-0 h) over two legs in the UEFA Europa League round of 32 and 16 respectively before defeating Basel 4-1 in a one-off quarter-final in Gelsenkirchen, but Inter proved too strong in their semi-final. • Despite their opening victory in Madrid, Shakhtar have won only three of their last 15 UEFA Champions League matches (D7 L5). • A 2-1 victory against Benfica in last season's UEFA Europa League round of 32 first leg ended Shakhtar's seven- game winless run in home European fixtures (D4 L3), though they won four in a row prior to that sequence – all in the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League. • The Donetsk club's home record in last season's UEFA Champions League group stage was D1 L2, with those two losses, against Manchester City and Atalanta, both by a 0-3 scoreline. • This is the third season in a row in which Shakhtar have faced German opposition. In 2019/20, they defeated Wolfsburg 2-1 away and 3-0 at home in the UEFA Europa League round of 16. • That defeat of Wolfsburg in Kyiv ended Shakhtar's run of seven successive home draws against German visitors, and made their record at home to Bundesliga clubs W3 D7 L1. Their solitary defeat came in their first UEFA Champions League match against a German club, 0-2 against Borussia Dortmund in the 2001/02 third qualifying round. • Shakhtar were 2-1 winners against Germany's Werder Bremen in the 2008/09 UEFA Cup final. Mönchengladbach • This is Mönchengladbach's third UEFA Champions League group stage appearance, both previous participations – in 2015/16 and 2016/17 – ending in early elimination. Fourth in their debut campaign in 2015, the German club finished third 12 months later to move into the UEFA Europa League, where they were beaten on away goals by Schalke in an all-Bundesliga round of 16 tie (1-1 a, 2-2 h). • Mönchengladbach took part in the UEFA Europa League group stage in 2019/20, finishing third behind İstanbul Başakşehir and Roma in their section. Marco Rose's side picked up eight points (W2 D2 L2) from their six fixtures to bow out. • The Foals have won two of their last five European games (D2 L1) but only three of the last 15 (D8 L4). • Mönchengladbach are unbeaten in six European away games (W2 D4), since a 4-0 loss at Barcelona on Matchday 6 of the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League.
