Both Shakhtar Donetsk and Zenit St. Petersburg have dropped points against APOEL Nicosia in the first set of fixtures in their UEFA Champions League group, so both will feel like they need a win at Petrovsky on Tuesday night to give themselves a good chance of qualifying for the knockout stages of the competition. Shakhtar are yet to win in the competition, while Zenit have a great home record and no longer have to concentrate on their domestic league. Here are the lineups.
