Team News: Shakhtar Donetsk
There’s just a single fitness concern for the Shakhtar Donetsk gaffer Marino Pušić to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust squad. Andriy Totovytskyi (unknown injury) misses out.

Prediction
In our opinion, Dynamo Kyiv could find themselves struggling to break down this Shakhtar Donetsk lineup who we think should score & stay on top.
We’re therefore seeing a good tussle with a 1-0 victory for Shakhtar Donetsk at the conclusion of the game.
It should be a good one.
