Kryvbas - Shakhtar Donetsk: our prediction

This bet is very solid. In Shakhtar's last 10 matches, 9 have seen over 1.5 goals. For Kryvbas, this figure is 8 out of 10. The trend is clearly towards matches with at least 2 goals. Furthermore, Shakhtar has a prolific attack with several players capable of scoring, while Kryvbas has shown defensive weaknesses, often conceding goals. A match with fewer than 2 goals seems very unlikely.

Shakhtar has shown great offensive capability. In their last 10 matches, the team has scored over 1.5 goals on 7 occasions. On the other side, Kryvbas has conceded at least one goal in 7 of their last 10 matches, and has often conceded multiple goals. Kryvbas's defense seems vulnerable against an attack as strong as Shakhtar's. It is therefore very likely that Shakhtar will score at least two goals.

Shakhtar Donetsk is the logical favorite with odds of 1.36. In the last 10 matches, Shakhtar has won 6 times compared to 5 for Kryvbas. Furthermore, as a favorite, Shakhtar has won 5 out of 6 times, showing great solidity. Kryvbas, on the other hand, has lost 3 of its last 10 matches and has only won once as an underdog. Shakhtar's form and squad quality, with players like Bondarenko and Traoré, should make the difference.
