Prediction: RB Leipzig 2-1 Shakhtar
Leipzig is expected to perform better after the defeat last time out and we can expect a charged up side take the field.
Shakhtar look to create some nerves through their play when they visit and we can a nervy battle taking place. However; Leipzig at home should do enough for a win.
Players to watch out for: Nkunku, Raum, Sikan and Konoplia.
