Team News

Shakhtar
Atalanta
  • Danylo Sikan is a doubt for Shakhtar, and may be replaced by Lassina Traore up front against Atalanta.
  • Ben Godfrey, Rafael Toloi, Giorgio Scalvini and Gianluca Scamacca all miss out in midweek.
  • Isak Hien and Marco Brescianini are both doubts for the visitors.

Prediction

  • Shakhtar are now unbeaten in four in all competitions following their 1-1 draw at Veres Rivne at the weekend. This game will be played at the Veltins-Arena in Germany.
  • Atalanta have made a dire start to the campaign, winning only one of their last six matches in all competitions. They drew their opening Champions League game 0-0 with Arsenal, which is a commendable result given the calibre of opposition.
  • While Shakhtar cannot call upon home advantage, they have the European experience to claim victory against this inconsistent Atalanta side on Wednesday.
