Champions League - Shaktar Donetsk v Dinamo Zagreb

SHAKHTAR DONETSK - DINAMO ZAGREB

Shakhtar are a very good team and really should have done better than they did at last years champions league. They have some quality players in their ranks and have taken over from Kiev as the nations top domestic side. They have started off their league campaign a little slowly but this is the tie that will define their season so its fair to say that they will be a lot more motivated tonight. At home they have a decent record in Europe as teams like Celtic found out last year.

Dinamo have a great history and will be no pushovers but history also says that it is nearly 10 years since they reached the knockout stages. They have lost out a couple of times at this stage and really were up against it from the moment the draw was made. They have to start their second choice goalkeeper, a 20 year old and tonight will be a huge test of his character. Their best chance is to keep it as tight as possible and to give themselves a chance in the return leg but for me the hosts have a little quality all over the field and should do enough tonight to give themselves some breathing space for the away leg
