Predictions
Sportsmole's Matt Law: Shakhtar Donetsk 1-2 Real Madrid
"This is a very tough match for Real Madrid, who were shocked by Sheriff in their last Champions League fixture.
"Shakhtar are more than capable of picking up a positive result on Tuesday night, but we are backing Real Madrid's quality to just shine through in order to claim an important three points."
