Last Game: Shakhtar 3-2 Vorskla
Wednesday, November 23 at 2pm in Ukrainian Premier League

We said: Shakhtar Donetsk 0-2 Rennes

Losing their talisman as well as playing their home matches in another country suggests that Shakhtar may find this assignment much tougher than they would have done in previous years. Rennes are hopelessly out of form but do have plenty of players on the pitch who can make the difference and should have more than Shakhtar on the night. Read more.
