Shakhtar Donetsk and Young Boys will meet again in the Champions League. Their single head-to-head matchup happened in the 2016 CL qualification. Swiss players overcame Shakhtar only in the penalty lottery.
Shakhtar is the nominal home team. This fact makes them the favourites because the Ukrainian team celebrated a home win in 2016. Another factor is that they caught up in their game, collecting points on a domestic level. However, the international competitors kept their goal clean in the opposition with Shakhtar. Young Boys is closer to the bottom of the table. They can’t score at all. Besides, the Swiss team lost all three matches.
The Donetsk team has an optimal roster now. The only questionable performer is Tymur Puzankov. Pusic will choose the starting XI targeted for attacks, allowing young Brazilians to appear on the field. Sudakov and company will reduce problems as YB left without a group of defenders due to injuries. In conclusion, we expect a high-scoring, open football match with both teams finding the net, making BTTS a likely bet.
