Roma and Shakhtar Donetsk meet in the Europa League on Thursday evening, with a place in the quarter-finals as a prize. Read our reasons for Roma vs Shakhtar prediction and betting tips.
Roma coach Paulo Fonseca admitted it wasn't a great performance against Genoa, but the points are all that mattered in the push for a top-four spot. Defender Gianluca Mancini got the only goal at the Stadio Olimpico, rising to meet a Lorenzo Pellegrini corner. “We did not put in a great performance. We didn’t have many opportunities, neither did Genoa, so it wasn’t the way I think this team can play and usually does play. “We were slow, moving the ball around too predictably. Genoa sat quite deep, but we can still do better,” the coach told the media. Roma continues their remarkable record against teams in the lower half of the table, but barely scraped a couple of draws against the bigger clubs. “We have to take it one game at a time. Now we’ve got Shakhtar Donetsk, which will be difficult in the Europa League. We will try to improve against the bigger clubs and hope to finish in the top four, so we know that we cannot afford a mistake.”
Roma striker Edin Dzeko is set to be sidelined again on Thursday, having sat out the weekend's win over Genoa, so Europa League regular Borja Mayoral will continue in the central striker's role. Centre-back Roger Ibanez is still a doubt, while top scorer and set-piece specialist Jordan Veretout will be out for at least a month. The match-winner in Florence, Amadou Diawara, should continue in midfield. Forwards Stefan El Shaarawy and Pedro were offered rare starts in the league but may make way for Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Lorenzo Pellegrini, who should shift into a more advanced role than on Sunday.
Roma: Mirante; Mancini, Smalling, Kumbulla; Karsdorp, Cristante, Diawara, Spinazzola; Pellegrini, Mkhitaryan; Mayoral
Shakhtar Donetsk was comfortable in the previous stage as a 3-0 aggregate victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv helped them progress to the round of 16. They claimed a 2-0 victory in the first leg in Israel while the return fixture in Ukraine ended 1-0. Luis Castro's men struggled slightly in the league after European matches as they failed to secure a win in the following two. That run was ended on Saturday as they saw off Olimpik Donetsk 1-0 in a Ukrainian Premier League fixture. Shakhtar Donetsk often finds things difficult on their travels with just two wins in their last six away matches in all competitions. They are a very experienced team that has a compact roster that played many international games together. They finished third in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League behind Real and Gladbach but better than Inter.
Visiting manager Luis Castro fielded a more or less full-strength side in the Donetsk derby, though both Alan Patrick - who could join Maycon in central midfield - and in-demand winger Manor Solomon may be drafted into the starting XI. One of a customarily burgeoning Brazilian-born contingent, Ukraine international Marlos should start in support of Junior Moraes, who is set to lead the line in Castro's side. Deep-lying midfielder Taras Stepanenko remains out with a knee injury sustained late last month.
Shakhtar Donetsk: Trubi; Dodo, Kryvtsov, Vitao, Matvienko; Patrick, Maycon; Solomon, Marlos, Taison; Moraes

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
