The Hirnyky were hoping for a Champions League ticket but finished third in the group stages behind Manchester City and Atalanta. Shakhtar has a point to prove, especially after lifting the UEFA Cup in 2009.

Shakhtar Donetsk Team News

Davit Khocholava will miss out on the clash after picking a red card during their clash in Wolfsburg. This might force the recall of Serhii Bolbat back into the starting lineup. Leading the line will be Junior Moraes, who netted a brace during their last outing in the competition.

Basel Team News

Eray Comert picked up a ban during their clash against Frankfurt. Injury woes at the camp include Jonas Omlin, Luca Zuffi, and Ramires. A replacement for Comert will be Jasper van der Werff. Another figure that is likely to start on the bench is former Premier League striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel.

We expect the attacking threat and history of Shakhtar over Basel to take it to the last eight matches.
