Antwerp Team News

Led by the legendary player Mark van Bommel as the gaffer, Antwerp have had a shaky start to the new season, while in the Champions League they had a baptism by fire against Barcelona who outclassed them 5:0. In the league the Belgian team is already five points behind the leaders drawing their last three league games, so overall the situation does not look promising.

Now they are in for a very important game in the Champions League and at home against Shakhtar with a fighting chance to win all three points. This is probably the most important game of the group stage for Antwerp, which they have to win to stay alive in the fight for the third spot. The bookmakers see them as the favourites, but we think this is a classic 50-50 game, which will be decided by details, so it is difficult predicting the winner.

Shakhtar Donetsk Team News

Shakhtar allowed a shower of goals in the first half an hour of their clash against Porto in Hamburg, losing 3:1, which ended being the final result. Despite the leading position in the league, the Ukrainian team is currently not in good form because they only won once in the last four games, while an additional minus for them is the fact that they couldn´t keep a clean sheet in the last six consecutive European games.

Can they hang on, we will see, but we will certainly be in for a tight match because of the importance. Both teams can´t afford to lose so most likely we will witness a draw and very tight low-scoring game. The guests are in trouble with their form, while Antwerp have been disappointing offensively, so one goal could decide this match.

Injuries and suspensions

Antwerp vs Shakhtar Donetsk Prediction

The Asian Total 2.75 Under is more than an affordable bet and one worth trying. For excellent odds of over 1.80 we believe we won´t see more than two goals in this crucial duel in which small details should decide.

With the strong defense, but a shaky offense of the hosts and the instability of the guests, we expect a careful approach from both teams without taking too much risk. This makes the Under option the most optimal one.
