Shakhtar Donetsk vs Antwerp: Who Will Win? Prediction and Match Analysis

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Antwerp Odds

Shakhtar Donetsk and Antwerp are set to clash in a UEFA Champions League showdown on Tuesday night.

The Miners have a chance to advance to the knockout rounds after an impressive victory over Barcelona in their latest UCL outing. Currently sitting third in Group H with six points, they are three points behind group leaders Barcelona and Porto FC, who will also face each other on Tuesday.

On the other hand, the Reds are mathematically eliminated from reaching the round of 16, still having a chance to secure the third spot and earn a place in the Europa League despite having zero points from four matches.

Despite a promising win over Barcelona, Shakhtar’s form seemed to have dropped in their subsequent league matches. However, they have a chance to regain their motivation under the bright lights of the Champions League on Tuesday, with a strong desire to advance to the knockout rounds for the first time since the 2017-18 campaign.

Defensively disciplined in their match against Barcelona, Shakhtar will aim to translate their solid performance into scoring opportunities against Antwerp.

However, Antwerp’s performance outside of the Champions League has seen improvement, but they will need to address their defensive vulnerabilities to succeed in European competition.

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Antwerp Prediction

Both teams’ young rosters make defensive lapses and unexpected offensive decisions more likely, increasing the overall variance in the match.

With Shakhtar already proving their superiority over Royal Antwerp in the competition, they are poised to secure a victory and further their ambition to advance to the knockout rounds.

Antwerp’s poor performance on the road this year adds to Shakhtar’s advantage, making them a favorable choice on the moneyline.
