Team News

Barcelona
Shakhtar
  • Barcelona's list of absentees has continued to grow, with Robert Lewandowski, Jules Kounde and Sergi Roberto joining Raphina, Frenkie de Jong and Pedri on the sidelines.
  • The latter is expected to make his full return imminently, and could be a part of the squad for this clash.
  • Gavi, who was sent off against Porto last time out, is suspended here.
  • The visitors should be without any injury concerns for the trip to Catalonia.

Prediction

  • Barcelona continued their unbeaten start to the La Liga season with a 1-0 victory over Athletic Club on Sunday evening, with 17-year-old Marc Guiu the hero.
  • The hosts have won both of their Champions League group games so far without conceding a goal.
  • Shakhtar Donetsk picked up their first victory in Europe this season against Royal Antwerp three weeks ago, and currently sit third in Group H, on three points.
  • The visitors cruised to a 3-0 home win over Cherkasi at the weekend, but will no doubt be facing a different kind of test here.
  • Xavi's side should continue their fine form here with a comfortable victory.
