Champions League

Over the weekend, Arsenal suffered its first defeat in the last six months. Shakhtar has won one of its last four away matches. The teams have faced each other four times, and surprisingly, the head-to-head record is perfectly even, with each team winning two matches.

Arsenal

The Gunners can confidently count the start of the current season as a success. While the team may not be entirely satisfied with its position in the Premier League table, it’s unlikely that anyone expected more from them.

In the Champions League, Arsenal is also doing quite well. An away draw against Atalanta and a home victory over PSG inspire optimism. The London club remains among the top favorites to reach the top eight by the end of the tournament’s group stage.

Shakhtar Donetsk

Shakhtar has been somewhat disappointing this season. The Miners significantly trail their main competitor, Dynamo Kyiv, and have already lost twice in the Ukrainian Premier League.

On the international stage, they don’t have much to boast about either. After a draw with Bologna, the Donetsk club lost to Atalanta without much chance. In the next match, it will be very difficult to secure any points, so Shakhtar’s chances of advancing to the knockout stage remain quite low.

Prediction

Arsenal significantly outclasses its opponent in terms of player quality, so there is no doubt about the home team's victory. I’m betting on a win for the Gunners and a total of under 4.5 goals with odds of 1.77.
