Shakhtar Donetsk vs Leipzig Prediction: Leipzig has a good chance of beating the Ukrainian champion

On the final matchday of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Shakhtar will face Leipzig. Despite the result of the first leg, and we would remind you that the opponents thrashed the Bulls 4:1 in Leipzig in the first leg, the bookmakers favour the Germans.

Shakhtar Donetsk

Ahead of the final round of the Champions League group stage, Shakhtar Donetsk is in third place and has guaranteed themselves a European Cup championship spring, but not yet a Champions League place. The Ukrainians need a win against Leipzig on Wednesday, regardless of the scoreline, to break into the top 16 in Europe. Anything else would leave them in third place in Group F. Last weekend, Shakhtar claimed a friendly with Celtic in Glasgow, enabling the team to ensure a place in the European competitions. On the weekend, Shakhtar played their home game against Oleksandriya, which ended in a 2:2 draw.

Leipzig

Leipzig has a nine-match unbeaten streak and only two draws in that period, though both were away matches, just like the upcoming game. In the last round of the Champions League, Leipzig beat Real Madrid at home and thus not only brought their participation in the playoffs, but now they have a chance to win even first place in Group F. For that to happen, however, they need to beat Shakhtar and hope Real Madrid loses points against Celtic. The second part of this option is doubtful, but Leipzig's ability to beat the Moles in Poland is realistic. Last weekend, the Bulls confidently registered a 2:0 win over Bayer.

Expert Betting Tips

Under Rosa, the Bulls are scoring a lot, losing virtually no points, and, in the last leg of the competition, they even registered their first defeat this season at Real Madrid. If Leipzig managed to beat the opponents, they had a good chance of beating the Ukrainian champions, despite the field factor. We predict a win for the Germans in Poland and a productive match.
