Shakhtar Donetsk vs Obolon tips and predictions

Celebrations not certain for Shakhtar Donetsk faithful

Obolon are really up against it but they can do something here. The home win price is just too short so for a bit of fun, the pick is with the outsiders. This preview determines the main metrics in order to make the best value prediction - which is the away win.

The hosts have looked out of sorts in some of their latest muted outings. Shakhtar Donetsk can't be trusted in terms of value betting, having lost 3 of their last 7 matches. To highlight some of their problems, shots on goal have been in short supply for them. They've been goalless in 3 of their last 7 games which is a stat that will resonate with supporters of the upset. They conceded two or more goals in 2 of their last 3 games. So perhaps the upset is not ludicrous.

Obolon have showed what they've got in the locker. Notably they've scored three or more goals in 0 of their last 3 away fixtures which is something they will have to build on to have any chance of making something happen for them here. While they are facing a massive task there is still some logic in liking the chances for an away win at the big price. They have kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 14 matches.

Aside from the 1X2 there's a low rated backup bet in the Both Teams To Score market with the No option. And if you're interested in the goal line, it's Under 1.5 Goals in this match given the prices available.
