UEFA Champions League 2017/18: Round of 16 draw analysis

Juventus v Real Madrid - UEFA Champions League Final
The top 16 sides learnt their knockout stage today

#3 Shakhtar Donetsk vs AS Roma

AS Roma v Qarabag FK - UEFA Champions League
AS Roma topped their group ahead of Chelsea and Atletico Madrid

This tie also looks like a brilliant match on offer as both sides have impressed in equal measures this season. No one had predicted AS Roma to top their group ahead of the likes of Chelsea and Atletico Madrid whereas Shakhtar Donetsk managed to fend off Napoli's pressure to qualify as the runners-up in their group.

Roma are having a solid season so far with Radja Nainggolan and Edin Dzeko being the star performers whereas former Newcastle United striker, Facundo Ferreyra has been on fire for Shakhtar. He has already scored 20 goals this season and is looking like the real deal. Playing in Donetsk, Ukraine has seen the best of sides crumble and it may prove to be just the case for the Romans as well.

Predicted winners: Shakhtar Donetsk

Head to Head: Played - 4, Shakhtar Donetsk - 3, AS Roma - 1, Draw -0

Goal aggregate: Shakhtar Donetsk 7-5 AS Roma
