Shakhtar Donetsk vs. Bayern Munich, 2015 Champions League: Scoreless in Ukraine

Mircea Lucescu’s side looks to be in their fairly typical 4-2-3-1 formation, without any particularly shocking lineup changes. The team hasn’t played a competitive match since their 1–1 draw against FC Porto on the final match day of the group stages. They should be rested, but rust could be an issue.

Shakhtar Donestk (4-2-3-1): Andriy Pyatov; Darijo Srna, Oleksandr Kucher, Yaroslav Rakitskiy, Vyacheslav Shevchuk; Fred, Fernando; Douglas Costa, Alex Teixeira, Taison; Luiz Adriano.

Bayern Munich exited last season’s Champions League in surprising fashion, and they’re one of the tournament’s favorites again this season. They won their group, and they’ll be big favorites to get by Shakhtar Donetsk in the Round of 16, but Tuesday’s trip to Ukraine might be tough (2:45 p.m. ET, FOX Sports 2).

As usual, Shakhtar have not played a competitive match since December, as the Ukranian league takes a very long winter break. The weather conditions might favor them on Tuesday, but the Bavarians won’t be complete strangers to cold weather. This match is being held in Lviv, as the ongoing conflict around Donetsk makes it impossible for Shakhtar to play matches at their home stadium.
