Roma and Shakhtar Donetsk have already faced 4 times in the Champions League. The team of Mircea
Lucescu imposes both the first leg (3-2) and the return (3-0). The overall
balance of Shakhtar against the Italian teams is instead of 5 wins, 2 draws and
13 losses.
Shakhtar Donetsk lost only one of the last 13
European home matches. Roma have won their group against all odds: better than
Chelsea (second) and Atletico Madrid relegated to the Europa League.
Roma surprisingly won their group stage
in front of Chelsea and Atletico Madrid. The Ukrainians finished second in
their group behind Manchester City but in front of Napoli. It will be a shrewd
Rome but with great unpredictability in attack that will go down tonight at
20.45 at the Metalist Stadium in Karkhiv in the first leg of the final round of
the 2017-2018 Champions League
against Shakhtar Donetsk.
