Shakhtar Donetsk v Atalanta stats and head-to-head record (H2H)

Atalanta were thwarted by an inspired display by Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya on matchday one of this season's UEFA Champions League as La Dea were held to a 0-0 draw by the Gunners.

La Dea, who won the UEFA Europa League last season, have lost at home to Como and draw away to Bologna since that 0-0 draw a fortnight ago and have yet to get going in Serie A, having taken just seven points from their first six league outings.

They will hope for better luck against Shakhtar, who they met in the group stage of the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League, when the Ukrainian side won 2-1 in Italy but were beaten 3-0 on home soil.

Shakhtar have fared marginally better this season and are fourth in the Ukrainian Premier League, albeit they are already six points adrift of leaders Dynamo Kyiv.
