Champions League

Shakhtar has won its last three home matches. Young Boys, on the other hand, have failed to win or score in their last four away games. These teams met in the Champions League qualifiers eight years ago, when the Swiss team advanced to the next round after two legs.

Shakhtar Donetsk

Shakhtar has accustomed its fans to competing for top positions, but their start to this season has been far from impressive. The team is currently in third place in the Ukrainian Premier League standings after 11 rounds and is already six points behind Dynamo Kyiv.

In the Champions League, there’s little to boast about either. After a draw with Bologna, Shakhtar suffered two losses to Atalanta and Arsenal. Notably, the “Miners” have yet to score in Europe’s most prestigious club tournament.

Young Boys

Young Boys are the reigning champions of Switzerland, but their current season has been dreadful. The team is performing disastrously in the domestic league, where they sit in tenth place out of twelve teams after 13 matches.

In the Champions League, things are even worse. Young Boys suffered heavy defeats to Aston Villa and Barcelona, then could not stand up to Inter. Like their next opponent, the Swiss side has yet to delight their fans with any goals.

Prediction

In this match between two struggling teams, the hosts seem to be slight favorites. Shakhtar is in better form, so I suggest betting on their win with a handicap of 0 at odds of 1.58.

Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.58.
