According to analysts, Arsenal are the favorites in the match against Shakhtar
October 22 in the third round of the group stage of the Champions League Miner in London will play against Arsenal. According to bookmaker experts, Arsenal are the favorites in the match against Shakhtar.
Shakhtar’s chances of winning are estimated as 1×22. Arsenal’s odds of winning is 1×1.11. Chance that match Arsenal – Shakhtar will end in a draw – 1×10.5.
In the two starting rounds of the stage, Shakhtar scored one point, drawing with Bologna and losing to Atalanta. Arsenal have four points after two matches: a victory over PSG and a draw with Atalanta. Arsenal suffered their first defeat of the season at the weekend, losing to Bournemouth in the league. Shakhtar had three defeats at the start of the season, but won the last two matches.
Shakhtar meet Arsenal for the third time in the Champions League. So far the teams are equal: the Miners and the Gunners have two wins each. With one important caveat: Shakhtar won against Arsenal when the match no longer had tournament significance for the Londoners and was always the second match of the opposition. Now everything is different.
Arsenal is head and shoulders above the current Shakhtar: both in quality and level of squad, and in capabilities. The miners can only rely on character and fortune and realization. The Gunners are not blameless in defense, having kept a clean sheet in four of their last 10 matches. Probability that “both teams will score in the match between Arsenal and Shakhtar”, the bookmakers estimate it as 1×2.27. Chance for “Shakhtar’s individual total is more than 0.5” – 1×2.22. A “probability of Sudakov’s goal” – 1x.5.5.
