Prediction on Shakhtar vs Barcelona
Prediction One: Total Goals – Under 4
There’s not been a lot of goals in the last six matches played by Barcelona in all competitions, with only one of the six games reaching four goals. Play under 4 goals and get a refund if they score four or a win if they score less.
Prediction Two: Handicap – 1(+2.5)
The first meeting between the sides was not all Barcelona as a lot of people might have expected, with Shakhtar putting in a good shift to test the wits of the Spanish side, expect much of the same in this leg, a win by not more than one goal difference.
Match Preview on Shakhtar vs Barcelona
Shakhtar Donetsk would definitely be positive about taking something from this game, especially considering how the last game ended. They will be looking to mount pressure on second placed Porto as they look to fight for qualification into the knockout stages or hopefully claim the Europa league slot. They sit 3rd for now, with three points from three games.
Barcelona will still be reeling from the El Clasico loss to Real Madrid, a Bellingham masterclass ultimately sealing their fate as they game ended in a 1-2 defeat. Gundogan went on to reveal frustrations about reactions to the defeat by young players, which might suggest a non unified dressing room, whatever the case maybe, the Xavi needs to get his men ready for a crucial second leg clash and possibly seal qualification early. Barcelona are currently top of group H with maximum points from their opening three games.
Predicted Starting Lineups
Shakhtar: Danylo, da Silva, Kryskiv, Bondarenko, Riznyk, Konoplia, Bondar, Topalov, Zubkov, Rakitskiy
Barcelona: Ter Stegan, Cancelo, Araujo, Christensen, Balde, Gavi, Gundogan, Lopez, Raphinha, Lewandowski, Felix
