PSV Eindhoven vs Shakhtar Donetsk Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Daniel Ngulu | in Champions League Predictions
Dutch giants PSV will welcome Ukrainian champions Shakhtar Donetsk to the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven on Match Day 5 of the Champions League. Ahead of this match, the two clubs have equal chances at avoiding relegation, as they are in and around the qualifying positions. PSV are 24th and their visitors are four places below and, in this preview, will also offer predictions for the match.
The two sides will be carrying great momentum from their domestic assignments, having wiped away their opponents. PSV are once again having it dominant in the Eredivisie and will want some of that magic to rub off here. They also come seeking a second win in the league phase.
Shakhtar Donetsk are a decent side and will be eyeing three points to help in their charge but will be wary of PSV’s home form. With a six-game unbeaten run, the Ukrainians will feel ready for this. However, a poor away run in Europe coupled with PSV’s form at home, might combine to deter their progress.

PSV Eindhoven - Shakhtar Donetsk: Form Analysis
PSV had a resounding win on their return from the international break, thrashing Groningen 5-0. That was not just their third win, they’ve also kept clean sheets in all the three. The Dutch giants have grown in the competition following their Match Day 1 defeat in Juventus.
On Match Day 4 they finally recorded their first win of the season, beating debutants Girona 4-0 at home. Despite their quality, that was PSV’s first win in seven Champions League matches and clearly, they have work to do.
Home form will work well for Peter Bosz’s side, having avoided defeat in 12 European matches at the Philips Stadium.
PSV are unbeaten in eight Champions League games at home.
Shakhtar, unbeaten in six matches since losing to Arsenal on Match Day 3, will head to the Netherlands targeting an upset. They beat Young Boys 2-1 in the last round and carry into this game a run of five straight wins.
The most recent of those was a 6-0 win against Inhulets in their domestic league. The visitors will want to tap on such attacking performances when in Europe.
In the four Champions League matches, Shakhtar scored just two goals. The poor run is not only limited to goals; the Ukrainians have managed only two wins in 14 away matches in Europe.
They will be even more vulnerable here, having lost in three of their last four trips to the Netherlands.

PSV Eindhoven & Shakhtar Donetsk Squad Analysis
One player on whose shoulders a lot of responsibility will be is PSV’s Ricardo Pepi. The youngster is on 11 goals for club and country this season. Against Groningen in the team’s last outing, he scored a hat trick and thus comes into this game really confident.
In Pepi’s form, the absence of Luuk de Jong will be a softer blow. The veteran is out with a muscle injury and joins Jerdy Schouten and Joey Veer on the sidelines.
There’s some good news though, with Hirving Lozano and Armando Obispo having returned in the last game.
Sergino Dest remains sidelined for PSV with a knee injury suffered in May.
At Shakhtar, there are no injuries reported. However, Marino Pusic may reinstate Pedrinho to the starting team after naming him on the bench in the weekend win.
His introduction will definitely cause some shakeup with the likely victim Heorhii Sudakov. Sudakov missed a penalty over the weekend and will be pushing for another start to have a chance to make up for it.
Apart from Pedrinho, another Brazilian set for a start in Eguinaldo, who rose off the bench to score twice. Mykola Matviienko and Yukhym Konoplya who were named among the reserves are also set to return in defence.

Our PSV Eindhoven vs Shakhtar Donetsk Prediction
After posting their first win in the last round, we expect Shakhtar to put in an effort here. However, beating PSV at their stomping ground will call for a lot. The Ukrainians have a poor away run in the Champions League though we will back them to get a goal.
The hosts kept a clean sheet in the last round but haven't been completely solid defensively. In PSV’s home form in Europe, they will be favorites again here. Our prediction for PSV v Shakhtar Donetsk is for PSV to win and both teams to score.
PSV Eindhoven vs Shakhtar Donetsk - Other Interesting Predictions
Ricardo Pepi to score
Ricardo Pepi is expected to play a central role for PSV in this game. The American is yet to score in the Champions League this season but going by his form, he may break his duck here.
He has scored 11 goals this season and is coming from netting a hat trick, extending his good stretch. In this shape our second prediction will be for the youngster to score.
