LAST MEETING
February 16, 2011: Roma 2-3 Shakhtar Donetsk
Roma jumped out to an early lead thanks to a Razvan Rat own goal before Shakhtar stormed back with a triple salvo during a 13-minute span in the first half. Jeremy Menez cut the deficit in half with a goal in the second session but it was too little, too late for the Lupi.
PROBABLE LINE-UPS
Shakhtar: Pyatov; Srna, Chygrynskiy, Rakytskiy, Rat; Hubschman, Mkhitaryan; Douglas Costa, Jadson, Willian; Luiz Adriano
Roma: Doni; N. Burdisso, Juan, Mexes, Riise; Pizarro, De Rossi, Taddei, Perrotta, Vucinic; Totti
Prediction
The Donbass Arena is a fortress where Shakhtar have won their last 18 competitive matches and Roma don't have the collective strength to break the Miners' impressive streak. The hosts play the Lupi off the park on Tuesday night.
Shakhtar 3-1 Roma
