Team News

Shakhtar
Porto
  • Mykola Matvienko, Lassina Traore and Valeriy Bondar miss out for the home side.
  • FC Porto are without no fewer than five players due to injury.
  • Ivan Mercano, Marko Grujic, Gabriel Veron, Francisco Conceicao and Evanilson are ruled out.

Prediction

  • Shakhtar have made an unbeaten start to the season, failing to win only two of eight matches. The last two meetings between these side has ended in a draw.
  • After losing the Portuguese Super Cup, Porto responded to pick up 13 points from their opening five league matches. A 1-0 win at Estrela da Amadora means Porto top Liga Bwin heading into the first round of Champions League group stage games.
  • Given the form of both sides heading into Tuesday's game, a draw would probably be a fair result.
