Arsenal vs Shakhtar Donetsk Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Daniel Ngulu in Champions League Predictions
Right after tasting defeat for the first time this season, Arsenal will be back in Champions League action this Tuesday, at home to Shakhtar Donetsk. The Gunners and Hirnyky's clash at the Emirates Stadium is preceded by a weekend of mixed results for either side. Both have also had contrasting fortunes in Europe. In this preview, we offer stats and two predictions of possible outcomes for the match.
Arsenal go into the game with the unfamiliar profile of losing, falling for the first time in six months. They, however, have a good run at home in the Champions League, and that should count for much.
For Shakhtar, theirs was a perfect warmup for this game, winning domestically ahead of the trip to London. This will not be their first meeting with Arsenal but they’ll be out to bag a first away win at Arsenal. Shakhtar Donetsk are also one of the 13 teams yet to win in the league phase this season.

Arsenal - Shakhtar Donetsk: Form Analysis
Arsenal had to endure a torrid evening away to Bournemouth as they lost for the first time since their defeat at Bayern Munich in April. A first half red card to William Saliba, and a 2-0 defeat summed up a miserable outing for the Gunners.
Mikel Arteta will want his charges to quickly rise again, and back-to-back home matches should provide a lift. Also, the team hasn’t lost much at home which should be a good sign.
They go into this game unbeaten in nine home matches, among them a 2-0 win over PSG in the last round of the Champions League. They haven't lost at home in nine group/league phase matches.
Arsenal eye a win on home return as Shakhtar target a first win in England.
Twice in their four meetings with Arsenal, Shakhtar Donetsk won, but none of them was in London. They come into this game with some momentum, having won their last two matches.
The most recent of them was at Kolos Kovalivka in their domestic league. They will bank on this form in their chase for a first win in the Champions League this season.
However, being winless in their last seven visits to England puts a dent on their ambitions for the game.
Pressured by the possibility of missing a knockout berth for the seventh straight season, Shakhtar will feel the urge to win here. They lost 3-0 to Atalanta in the last round.

Arsenal & Shakhtar Donetsk Squad Analysis
Arsenal have lately been grappling with injuries to key players and they carry the same to this game. Over the weekend, they missed Bukayo Saka, Jurrien Timber, Martin Odegaard, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Kieran Tierney all with various injuries.
It is highly unlikely that any player on that list will make the cut for the Shakhtar game. With a game against Liverpool on the horizon, Arteta will seriously consider resting his key men.
That will not include William Saliba, who is suspended for the Sunday match.
Arsenal will miss a number of key players amid the need to rest others.
Arsenal thinking of resting players should be the best news for Shakhtar, who have a nearly fully fit squad. The only concern for the visitors is with goalkeeper Tymur Pusankov.
As he is not even a starter, there hasn’t been a particular rush to return him from an ACL injury. The Ukrainians will be looking to impose their attacking strength on the Gunners.
Georgiy Sudakov, reported to be on Arsenal radar, will have a lot of say in this, having scored seven in nine appearances.

Our Arsenal vs Shakhtar Donetsk Prediction
Arsenal will welcome a return to north London after their first away match in a month. They have back-to-back matches coming up at The Emirates and will be banking on home form to win both. As Shakhtar visit, Arsenal will also be looking to return to their defensive best.
The Ukrainians are decent in attack and though poor on the road in the Champions League, might trouble Arsenal. However, with 15 goals in the last five home matches, albeit with just one clean sheet, Arsenal should have enough to edge their visitors.
Our prediction for Arsenal v Shakhtar Donetsk is for Arsenal to win and over 3.5 goals.
Arsenal vs Shakhtar Donetsk - Other Interesting Predictions
Both teams to score
In their last six matches, Arsenal failed to score once, but also kept a clean sheet in just one of those matches. Shakhtar Donetsk have a few lethal players in their attack who are likely to give the Arsenal backline some uncomfortable moments.
The visitors can’t point to defence as their strongest department though. With that, our second prediction for Arsenal v Shakhtar Donetsk is for both teams to score.
