Royal Antwerp will be returning home after a 2-game road trip. They will face off against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League Group Stage at 12:45 p.m. ET on October 4th at Bosuilstadion. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.

Royal Antwerp and Barcelona combined for ten shots on goal back in September, which explains the impressive five total goals scored. Royal Antwerp's painful 5-0 loss to Barcelona might stick with them for a while.

Meanwhile, Shakhtar Donetsk dropped the ball in their first Group Stage match against Porto, so they desperatly need a win here. They will be looking for a result a little better than the 3-1 defeat they were dealt back in September when they meet later in the season.

The losses gave the teams matching 0-0-1 records heading into the match.

The tournament's just begun, and both these teams will be looking for a win. Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.

Royal Antwerp is a solid favorite against Shakhtar Donetsk, according to the latest Champions League odds, being -119 to win.
