PSV Eindhoven vs Shakhtar Donetsk
Double chance : PSV Eindhoven or draw
PSV Eindhoven are heading into this Champions League match in excellent form. They have won three of their last five games, including two very high-scoring away victories where they scored three and six goals. Even though they suffered a heavy defeat recently, they bounced back immediately, and their attack looks very dangerous right now.
Shakhtar Donetsk, on the other hand, are struggling. Their most recent games are all from the past, and they have lost four of their last five matches, including their last two. They have not played a competitive game in a long time, which could leave them rusty. The one time these two teams met before, the game ended 3-2, so it was a tight match with lots of goals. However, given the current momentum, PSV looks much stronger. This should be a fairly open game, but PSV Eindhoven should have the edge to win it.
