Celtic vs Shakhtar Donetsk Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Daniel Ngulu in Champions League Predictions
Scottish giants Celtic will try to salvage their UEFA Champions League campaign when they play host to Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk in Group F on Match Day 5. Celtic go into this game bottom of the group with one point while Shakhtar are third on five points. The hosts have been dominant in domestic action, but their European journey has little to smile about. Meanwhile, Shakhtar were very close to beating Real Madrid in their latest game in this group and will hope to do better than the 1-1 draw they managed then.

Our Celtic vs Shakhtar Donetsk Prediction
Celtic will be counting on home support to get their first win in this group. In reality, they’ve been the weakest, as expected, and not much is expected from them here either. Shakhtar stands a better chance here but one aspect is glaring ahead of this game – that both teams haven’t had a lot of clean sheets and their matches have been high scoring. We will thus back this to see over 2.5 goals scored.
