Roma eleminated Braga in previous round winning both games. Now they face Shakhtar Donetsk which is also the ex team of coach Fonseca. Of course this wasn't a lucky draw as Ukrainian team is coming from Champions League and already stopped the best italian team Inter.

Roma is fighting for a place in top 4 in Serie A and are coming after many positive results like 2 wins against Fiorentina and Genoa.

Many players are back for coach Fonseca but there are still some missings for today game like best scorer mid Veretout (24/10), def Ibanez (22/0) and st Dzeko (25/10) despite is in the list shouldn't play.

So for Fonseca it will be again the 3-4-2-1, maybe adapting Cristante in defense, Diawara in place of Veretout and in attack will be the best scorer in EL, Borja Mayoral. El Shaarawy or Pedro are some good options from the bench.

Shakhtar Donetsk in other hand lost the lead of Ukrainian Premier League and are now 2nd with 4 points of difference from Dynamo Kiev.

However in EL they managed to beat Maccabi Tel Aviv in both games. They are a very strong team and with experience in European competitions.

In difference with the past Shakhtar Donetsk plays more defensive football and shows solidity.

In the offensive side they are not scoring regulary, however there are plenty of strong technical players from midfield to attack who can solve the game.

Coach Luis Castro can't rely on mid Stepanenko (12/0), mid Fernando (10/1) and def Khochalova (4/0).

Shakhtar Donetsk will try to get a positive result in this 1st leg and then decide everything in Ukraine. Roma so far suffered a lot against every top team they faced especially in Serie A.

Both teams played together 6 times, 4 wins from Shakhtar and only 2 from Roma.

Probable lineups:

ROMA (3-4-2-1): Pau Lopez; Mancini, Smalling, Kumbulla; Karsdorp, Cristante, Diawara, Spinazzola; Pellegrini, Mkhitaryan; Mayoral.

SHAKHTAR DONETSK (4-2-3-1): Trubi; Dodo, Kryvtsov, Vitao, Matvienko; Patrick, Maycon; Solomon, Marlos, Taison; Moraes.

GL!

罗马在上一轮的两场比赛中都击败了布拉加。现在他们的对手是顿涅茨克矿工队，是冯塞卡之前执教的球队。当然，这不是一个幸运的抽签，因为乌克兰球队刚刚从欧冠联赛降级，并且已经阻止过意大利最好的球队国际米兰。

罗马正在为意甲联赛前四名的位置而战，并且已经取得了许多积极的成绩，比如对佛罗伦萨和热那亚的两场胜利。

很多球员复出，但仍有一些人缺席了今天的比赛，比如最佳得分手韦勒图(24/10)，后卫依宾尼兹(22/0)和前锋哲科(25/10)，尽管他们不在名单上。

所以对于丰塞卡来说，4-4-2将会再次上演，也许克里斯蒂特会在防守端登场，迪亚瓦拉会代替韦勒图，而进攻端则会是博尔哈会是最好的射手。艾尔·沙拉维或者佩德罗都是很好的替补人选。

另一方面，顿涅茨克矿工队失去了乌克兰超级联赛的领先地位，目前与基辅迪纳摩队相差4分，排名第二。

然而在欧罗巴，他们在两场比赛中都击败了马卡比特拉维夫队。他们是一支非常强大的球队，在欧洲比赛中有丰富的经验。

与过去不同的是，顿涅茨克矿工踢的是防守型足球，表现出了稳定性。

在进攻端，他们不经常得分，但是有很多从中场到进攻端的技术很强的球员可以解决比赛。

主教练路易斯·卡斯特罗不能指望中场斯特帕年科(12/0)，中场费尔南多(10/1)和后卫霍乔拉瓦(4/0)。

顿涅茨克矿工队将努力在第一回合取得积极的结果，然后回乌克兰决定一切。到目前为止，罗马在面对每一支顶级球队时都遭受了很大的打击，尤其是在意甲。

两队共打了6场比赛，其中矿工赢了4场，罗马只赢了2场。
