Shakhtar Donetsk vs Antwerp Prediction: The Ukrainians are listed as favorites

Prediction for the UEFA Champions League match which will take place on November 28. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Shakhtar Donetsk

After the sensational victory over Barcelona in the last round of the Champions League, Shakhtar lost in the Ukrainian league to Dnipro 1 and drew 0:0 with Polissya, and also lost to Rukh Lviv 1:3 in a friendly. The results are weak, but we believe that the Ukrainian champion will be able to show a high class in the Champions League match. Before starting the fifth round of the Champions League, they were third in the group with six points, three points behind Catalans and Porto. In case of a draw on Tuesday, Shakhtar will guarantee themselves a place in the Europa League play-offs, while in case of a win, they will keep their chances for the Champions League play-offs. Shakhtar has two wins in the tournament, over Antwerp away and Barça in a home match.

Antwerp

After losing to Porto in the last round of the Champions League, Antwerp beat Standard 6:0 in the Belgian league and drew 1:1 with Sint. Truiden. Antwerp is playing well at home, but on the international scene, they are terrible. The Belgians gained no points formally after four rounds in the Champions League. They can still fight for third place in the group, but for this purpose, it is not enough to win the two remaining matches, including against Barcelona, but also to win back the goal difference against Shakhtar, now -10 for the Belgians. At 99.9%, Antwerp will find themselves without a European spring.

Expert Betting Tips

Shakhtar beat Antwerp away, and they were stronger in the last round than Barcelona. After the victory over the Catalans, they are back in the pool of contenders for a place in the Champions League play-offs, and to stay in this pool, the Ukrainians need a win on Tuesday with any score. Given that Shakhtar has scored in every match of the Champions League 2023/24, and Antwerp is a team with a weak defense but, on the whole, a good attack, we hope that the upcoming match will be rich in goals.
