| Feb 15th, 2011 | by JohnnyKarpItalian side AS Roma will meet Ukrainian champions Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday in the first leg of the Champions League first knockout round. Roma suffered an important defeat at home last weekend as they were beaten 2-0 by Napoli but they might have a slight advantage over Shakhtar who played their last official game against Braga in the Champions League last December. The Ukrainian league will re-start in March after a long winter break.





Shakhtar are strong but the long winter break might be a big problem. Roma are not in great shape though so I think that the Ukrainians will get a good result here.
