SHAKHTAR DONETSK- AS ROMA


A point will ensure Roma progress to the next stage, a win will give them the chance to win the group with victory over Valencia on matchday 6.

They could hardly be in better form with 4 straight wins, rattling in 14 goals in the process.

Donetsk have yet to claim a group stage win and are conceding at a rate of 2.5 per game, losing the reverse fixture 4-0. They are likely to be without 3-4 key players tonight and have lost four successive home games to Italian sides.

The Ukranian's still have a very small chance to qualify, that will force them forward, indeed they have looked to attack in all 4 group games and that has maybe been their undoing. It should certainly play into Roma's hands tonight.

Much has been written about the weather in Donetsk, but according to the sources I checked, it is like to be +1 or +2 degrees, a little colder than Rome, but nothing to really trouble the visitors.

4 points Roma -1/4 ball asian line 1.93.

Good Luck.
