What to expect
We expect about 1.7 goals from Shakhtar Donetsk and 0.9 from Polissya Zhytomyr, so Shakhtar Donetsk come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.6 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Our pick: Shakhtar Donetsk to win. Shakhtar Donetsk are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.7-0.9), and we make them about 59% 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 59 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.79, which works out at about 56 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
One thing to watch
Favourites drop points more often than a short price suggests, and one moment can earn Polissya Zhytomyr a draw or better. We only make this about 59%, so it's far from a lock.
