Shakhtar vs Roma – Probable Line-ups: Cengiz Under Set To Make Champions League Debut

Roma take on Shakhtar in Ukraine in the Champions Legue Round of 16, seven years after the Pitmen emerged victorious.

Shakhtar won both legs against Roma at this stage in the 2010-11 season – their only round of 16 win.

The Ukrainian giants have lost just one of their last 13 European home games.

Roma meanwhile have recorded just one win in Ukraine, losing their three other games.

The Italian giants will be banking on Turkish superstar Cengiz Under to carry over his domestic form to the Champions League.

Under has scored four goals and provided an assist in his last three league games – all of which have ended in victory.

Four of Under’s last five shots on target have resulted in goals.

The 20-year-old has been in red hot form recently and is expected to make his Champions League debut tonight.

Will the ‘new Salah’ as he has been dubbed showcase himself on the big stage or will nerves get the better of him? we shall find out.

Roma will be without Karsdorp, Gonalons and Luca Pellegrini while Florenzi is a doubt.
