Forecast for the match Shakhtar – Young Boys: is it worth betting on Shakhtar?

Place a bet on Shakhtar Donetsk in the match against Young Boys – a good choice. Here are some arguments in favor of this bet:

• The Ukrainian team recently won victories over Chornomorets (2:1) and Zorya (1:0), and also managed to avoid defeat in the last three matches. This series includes a draw with Dynamo Kyiv.
• The Swiss side have failed to score a single goal in the Champions League this season and have lost all three of their matches, including home defeats to Inter and Barcelona.
• The match will take place on neutral ground in Gelsenkirchen, which eliminates home advantage for both teams. However, historically Shakhtar do well against Swiss teams.
• Young Boys have been weak defensively, especially on the road – they have conceded an average of 1.3 goals per game in their last ten matches and lost six of them.

A bet on Shakhtar at odds of 2.07 looks justified and has a good chance of winning.

Forecast from Sportarena experts: Shakhtar – Young Boys with the result “goal from both teams”

Sportarena experts offer a “goal from both teams” bet at odds of 1.65 for the upcoming match between Shakhtar and Young Boys. Here are a few factors that support this bet:

1. Defensive shortcomings of both teams. In recent matches, Shakhtar have conceded goals from teams with a less aggressive attack, and even in the game against Dynamo Kyiv they conceded one goal. The situation is similar for Young Boys, especially on the road, where the team often experiences problems in defense.
2. Recent games and statistics. Shakhtar managed to demonstrate a good attack in the matches of the Ukrainian league, for example, in the games against Chernomorets and Zorya. Young Boys also had bright moments in the Swiss league and, despite defeats in the Champions League, they created dangerous chances, especially at home to Inter.
3. The need for both teams to score points. As this will be a crucial meeting to keep hopes of progressing from the group alive, both teams will likely be looking to attack and create chances.

Previous matches: Shakhtar Donetsk – Young Boys

Although Shakhtar vs Young Boys there is a history of head-to-head meetings, most of these matches took place a long time ago and in friendly tournaments. The relevance of these statistics is low. The only significant meeting in the recent past was the 2016 Champions League qualifying round, where Shakhtar won the home match with a score of 2:0, but lost to Young Boys away on penalties (4:2).

Shakhtar won three out of five matches, which indicates its advantage in this pair. However, these past meetings have little effect on the current form of the teams, since enough time has passed since then, and the composition of the teams has changed significantly.

Shakhtar Young Boys: review of the Shakhtar Donetsk team

FC Shahter is in the process of rebuilding and adapting to this season’s Champions League. The team, led by Marino Pusic, has so far shown mixed results both domestically and internationally. In their last Champions League matches, they drew with Bologna, but suffered defeats against Atalanta and Arsenal, without scoring a single goal in these meetings.

Place a bet on a match

Shakhtar are distinguished by their confident control of the ball, as, for example, in the game against Chernomorets, where they had the ball 72% of the time and made 5 shots on target. Among the key players, Artem Bondarenko and Georgy Sudakov stand out, who are the main scorers in the UPL. Alexander Zubkov and Daniil Sikan also show good results in attack.

Shakhtar’s defense demonstrates stability in the Ukrainian championship, but at the Champions League level the team conceded 4 goals in three games. Pusic often uses a 4-2-3-1 formation, which helps to effectively control the ball, but sometimes is not enough when high-level opponents are aggressively pressing.

Proposed starting line-up (4-2-3-1 formation):

• Goalkeeper: Dmitry Riznyk

• Right back: Yukhim Hemp
• Central defender: Valery Bondar
• Central defender: Nikolay Matvienko
• Left back: Pedro Enrique
• Defensive midfielders: Dmitry Kryskov and Artem Bondarenko
• Attacking midfielders: Georgy Sudakov, Alexander Zubkov and Eguinaldo
• Attack: Daniil Sikan

Missing players: Timur Puzankov (injury)
