Preview
Shakhtar come into this after a 2-0 away loss to Inter on MD 5, which confirmed their exit from Europe.
Dzeko scored a brace to leave Shakhtar bottom of the table with 1 point from 5 matches.
Shakhtar cannot try for a third-place finish and hence finish their UCL campaign being one of the worst this season but with scope for improvement.
On the other hand, Sheriff’s maiden campaign which started off so well ends with a spot in the UEFA Europa League.
A 3-0 home loss to Real Madrid ensured a 3rd place finish this campaign with 6 points from 5 matches.
A hat-trick of losses after 2 initials wins is a stern lesson to Sheriff not to drop guard as they hope to come back stronger next season.
These two sides last met on MD 1 where Sheriff won 2-0 at home to Shakhtar.
