It's the second possibility for points this season as Veres and Shakhtar Donetsk bump heads at Stadion Kolos.

Shakhtar Donetsk could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Premier League game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Metalist 1925 Kharkiv. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
