Team News

Shakhtar
Real Madrid
  • Shakhtar are without the services of Junior Moraes, but the Ukrainian giants have no further absentee concerns.
  • Fernando made his first appearance in a month at the weekend and netted twice in the first half against Zorya, so could lead the line here.
  • Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has a number of injury concerns to contend with for Tuesday's trip to Ukraine.
  • Eden Hazard, Isco, Gareth Bale and Dani Carvajal miss out for Los Blancos here.
  • Dani Ceballos and Marco Asensio were hopeful of proving their fitness but are sidelined, however, Eduardo Camavinga, Ferland Mendy, Marcelo and Eder Militao have all made the trip east.

Prediction

  • Following their 2-0 loss to FC Sheriff last month, Shakhtar are unbeaten in six, winning four. They have lost just the once at home in all competitions this season.
  • Real Madrid's game against Athletic Club was postponed, so Los Blancos have had additional time to prepare for their trip to Ukraine. However, they come into this one in poor form having failed to win in three, losing their last two to FC Sheriff and Espanyol.
  • Given the home side's good form, coupled with Real Madrid's struggles in terms of results and absentee concerns, it wouldn't be a shock to see Shakhtar win this one.
