Match background Shakhtar • Shakhtar lost to German opponents at this stage in 2012/13 when they drew 2-2 at home to Borussia Dortmund, leading twice through Darijo Srna and Douglas Costa with Robert Lewandowski scoring Dortmund's first equaliser. Shakhtar were beaten 3-0 in Germany, Mario Götze getting the second goal. • In last season's UEFA Champions League group stage, the Ukrainian champions drew 0-0 at home to Bayer 04 Leverkusen after a 4-0 away defeat. • Shakhtar's last four home games with Bundesliga visitors have ended in three draws and a loss. Their last success came against holders Eintracht Frankfurt in the 1980/81 UEFA Cup first round when Mikhail Sokolovski's goal earned a 1-0 first-leg win, although the ensuing 3-0 defeat in Germany meant it was in vain. • The Pitmen's home record against German clubs is W2 D3 L1. Overall it reads W5 D4 L5. • Shakhtar's most memorable encounter with a Bundesliga team was their 2-1 victory over SV Werder Bremen after extra time in the 2009 UEFA Cup final in Istanbul.

However, they at least know that they will have some chance of qualifying on Matchday 5 – however slender – regardless of the result of the game against their Norwegian visitors. • Rosenborg have no such luxury, having matched their worst ever home defeat in European competition in losing 4-0 to Valencia CF last Thursday. This is their final Group G game, and anything other than a win would spell the end of their continental campaign for the season. • This will be København and Rosenborg's first meeting in European club competition.

  • Modelling the Financial Contribution of Soccer Players to Their Clubs
    Journal of Sports Analytics 5 (2019) 23–34 23 DOI 10.3233/JSA-170235 IOS Press Modelling the financial contribution of soccer players to their clubs Olav Drivenes Sæbøa and Lars Magnus Hvattumb,∗ aDepartment of Industrial Economics and Technology Management, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway bFaculty of Logistics, Molde University College, Norway Abstract. This paper presents a framework for evaluating the financial consequences of player transfers as seen from a club’s perspective. To this end, an objective player rating model is designed based on players’ contribution towards creating a positive goals differential for their team. A regression model is then applied to predict match outcomes as a function of the players involved in a match. Finally, Monte Carlo simulation is used to predict the final league standings and the financial gains obtained as a function of sporting success. The framework is illustrated on player transfers from the 2014-2015 English Premier League season. Keywords: association, football, rating, simulation, regression 1.
