Barcelona – Shakhtar Donetsk : Preview & Prediction
FC Barcelona are determined to play a leading role again in the Champions League. In the last 2 campaigns, the Catalan club were knocked out at the group stage. They are hoping to make a comeback in the last 8 this year. The Blaugrana are already well on the way to doing so. They have won their first 2 matches, against Royal Antwerp (5-0) and FC Porto (0-1). Currently in 3rd place in La Liga, Xavi’s team are just 1 point behind Real Madrid ahead of the Clasico. Before that, however, they will have to contend with Matchday 3 of the Champions League, this Wednesday at 6.45pm. Jules Koundé’s team-mates will host Shakhtar Donetsk. It’s a match that should enable them to continue their perfect record in the Champions League group phase. The Ukrainian club are in 3rd place in their domestic league, with 1 matchday in hand. A win could put them back in the driving seat. In the Champions League, the Ukrainian club is still on the back of a valuable 2-3 win at Royal Antwerp. However, they are likely to struggle for 3rd place in Group H, having been beaten by FC Porto in their opening match (1-3). They’ll still have a tough time of it at the Camp Nou!
