What to expect
We expect about 1.9 goals from Shakhtar Donetsk and 0.6 from FC Kolos Kovalivka, so Shakhtar Donetsk come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.5 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Shakhtar Donetsk come into this on three straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Shakhtar Donetsk to win. Shakhtar Donetsk are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.9-0.6), and we make them about 70% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
We put the chance of that landing at about 69 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.28, which works out at about 78 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
