Prediction on Shakhtar vs Antwerp
Prediction One: Match Result – W1
Shakhtar Donetsk managed to beat Antwerp away from home in the reverse fixture, and having scored that impressive victory against Barcelona to keep qualification hopes alive, we believe they will keep it up with another victory here.
Prediction Two: Total Goals – Over 2.5
Both teams are scared to attack as shown by their previous encounter that ended with five goals scored, three for Shakhtar Donetsk and two for Antwerp, we feel the goals will flow here too, as Antwerp don’t really have any reason not to go all out.
Match Preview on Shakhtar vs Antwerp
Shakhtar Donetsk go into this particular fixture knowing that they absolutely have to win it, if they are to nurse any sort of hope to make it into the knockout stages, both teams above them go head to head, so win here and they have a chance, especially if they can improve on their goal difference as well. As things are right now, they are occupying the third position with six points from four games.
Antwerp have been beaten by every team in group H and have managed zero points, with a -11 goal difference. They are technically out of all considerations for European places and all the Belgian side can be now is a stumbling block to their opponent’s aspirations, that is if they can muster a performance to boot.
Predicted Starting Lineups
Shakhtar: Rudko, Topalov, Rakitskiy, Chygrynskiy, Drozd, Kryskiv, Castillo, Newerton, Eguinaldo, Shved, Kelsy
Antwerp: Butez, Bataille, Alderweireld, Coulibaly, De Laet, Vermeeren, Yusuf, Muja, Ejuke, Balikwisha, Janssen
