    Neutral venue at Stamford Bridge erodes Shakhtar's home edge. Sporting arrive with Luis Suárez in form; expect a tight, low-to-medium scoring game with a draw or narrow Sporting win likeliest.

    Shakhtar's strong domestic scoring comes against weaker opposition, so the goal-rate numbers probably flatter them. Sporting are the stronger side despite three defensive and midfield absences and a short turnaround. Expect an open, fairly even match with goals at both ends.

    Shakhtar benefit from a full week of rest but host this tie at neutral Stamford Bridge. With Sporting possessing lethal firepower in four-goal forward Luis Suárez despite limited preparation time, an evenly balanced, competitive encounter is expected.
