EVERYTHING is to play for in Group F, with Shakhtar Donetsk and Braga both having a chance of qualification for the last 16.

The two meet at the Donbass Arena tonight, with Shakhtar leading the group by three points from Braga and Arsenal who are tied for second.

The Ukrainian hosts need just a point to progress, while if Arsenal lose to Partizan Belgrade, Braga will also need just a point. The Portuguese side lost 3-1 at Uniao Leiria on Saturday, though, and had three players sent off as they gave two penalties away. They have not won away from home this season, but, gave themselves a chance of qualification with their 2-0 win over Arsenal last time out.

Coach Domingos Paciencia is preferring to focus on the league however, knowing that the Champions League is not possible without it. “The most important goal for Braga is the national championship and finishing in the top four,” he said yesterday.

Shakhtar have fitness doubts over Marcelo Moreno, Vitaliy Vitsenets and Oleksandr Chyzhov, while Fernandinho is back in Brazil having treatment.
