Shakhtar Donetsk will take on RB Leipzig in round 6 of the UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will take place at Stadion Wojska Polskiego in Warsaw on Wednesday, November 2.
Shaikhtar Donetsk was able to surpass expectations. A year ago, the Pitmen failed to win any games. This is despite Roberto De Zerbi, a promising coach, and a group of star legionnaires mostly from Brazil on the field. Jovicevich was now the mentor after all the Ukrainians fled. He had to rebuild the entire team, particularly in the attack group. The tournament began in Germany at 4-1. They managed to draw with Celtic twice, each drawing 1-1. After a Madrid 1-2, the Ukrainians led Real Madrid. Rudiger conceded in the final attack by the visitors. They want more, and 3rd is now guaranteed. They must defeat the bulls again to achieve this. Manager changes are a benefit for
RB Leipzig. Domenico Tedesco was with the Bulls. He arrived a little more than a year ago. The Bulls managed to save their season by climbing to 4th and winning the national cup. The team was so bad that they had to break up Tedesco in September, just after Shakhtar’s 1:4. The new coach needed to make friends and establish relationships with the new players. They lost to Real Madrid in round 2. The Germans were stronger in October. They were able to defeat Celtic twice in the first round. It won against the Galacticos last Tuesday thanks to a strong start. They scored 2 goals in the 18th minute. Shakhtar was 3 points behind RB Leipzig after this 3-2 victory. The Pitmen would still have to perform the same task: any win will be a victory for them; a draw will suffice for the Germans.
The pitch was where the two clubs first met. RB Leipzig is the clear favourite – a sign that Shakhtar cannot be underestimated. We recommend betting on the Pitmen with a handicap “+1 goal” taking into consideration the task of each team for the head to head match.
Prediction: Shakhtar Donetsk will win with +1.0 handicap
