Shakhtar Donetsk vs Bayern Munich Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Kennedy Kechula in Champions League Predictions
For the first time in a decade, Shakhtar Donetsk and Bayern Munich are set to face off. The two will meet in the sixth round of matches in the UEFA Champions League. As a result of the unrest in Ukraine, Shakhtar will host this match in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Ahead of this game, we have the preview and stats below, and we will also offer a prediction of the match.
Shakhtar Donetsk will, in this game, be hoping to claim only their second win of the campaign, which could possibly lift them into the play-off positions. The hosts start this round having managed four points from the opening five matches. Before this game, they snapped a two-match winless run across all competitions.
The same was the case with Bayern Munich who responded to two winless outings with a home win. The Bavarians are on nine points in five matches. With victory here, Bayern could leap into the last 16 slots.

Shakhtar Donetsk - Bayern Munich: Form Analysis
Shakhtar will not have very fond memories of the last time they faced Bayern Munich. Their 2014/15 meetings ended in a 7-0 mauling which still stands as the biggest margin of defeat they’ve ever endured in Europe.
Having warmed up for this game with a 3-1 win against Vorskla, Shakhtar will hope to pick up back-to-back wins. The Ukrainians will feel disappointed at how they handled the last match in the Champions League.
Playing away to PSV, they led 2-0 until the 87th minute but it ended in a 3-2 defeat. That marked a third loss in five Champions League matches.
All of Bayern’s wins in the Champions League this season came at home.
Bayern Munich have had their highs and lows in recent times. One of their highs was the labored 1-0 win against PSG at home in the last round.
They then went winless in two matches after that, with a defeat in the period seeing their elimination from the DFB Pokal. Bayern, however, bounced back in their most recent match, beating Heidenheim 4-2 in a Bundesliga game.
The Bavarians’ Champions League campaign has also experienced tough moments. After their opening 9-2 win against Dinamo Zagreb, they went on a run of two losses. They would then rise with identical 1-0 home wins over Benfica and PSG.

Shakhtar Donetsk & Bayern Munich Squad Analysis
Shakhtar have defender Pedro Henrique on the suspension list coming into this game. The left-back was sent off in the defeat to PSV thus has to sit this one out. It is, however, in attack that Shakhtar will attract a lot of focus.
Lead scorer Heorhii Sudakov will be eyeing a 10th goal of the season. One of the nine he has scored so far was in the Champions League.
Oleksandr Zubkov netted in the last two Champions League games and will in that respect be another man to watch. In total this season, he has seven goals.
Thomas Muller scored a brace 10 years ago when these teams met.
Harry Kane’s name will once again be missing from the team sheet when Bayern roll out for this game. For club and country this season, Kane, who is injured, has 23 goals in 24 matches.
That just about sums up how important a player he is for the Bavarians. In his absence though, Jamal Musiala is expected to take over the mantle in attack.
The young German has 12 goals in 19 matches this season. In the last 12 games for club and country, he scored 10 goals.
Apart from Kane, Bayern will also miss Alphonso Davies, Kingsley Coman, Hiroki Ito and Joao Palhinha on account of injuries.

Our Shakhtar Donetsk vs Bayern Munich Prediction
Bayern Munich have the chance to win an away game in the Champions League following recent struggles on the road. This looks more like a home match for Bayern though, and that’s why they’ll be favorites.
However, they’ve been scoring less lately, and Harry Kane’s injury doesn’t help on that front. They also meet a Shakhtar side that can get tough defensively. This is a combination to yield a low scoring game. Our prediction for Shakhtar Donetsk v Bayern Munich is, therefore, for the game to have under 2.5 goals.
Shakhtar Donetsk vs Bayern Munich - Other Interesting Predictions
Both teams to score - No
On their troubled travels, Bayern Munich failed to score in two of their last five away Champions League matches. However, in three of their last four away matches ahead of this game, they kept clean sheets. It was the same case in their previous two meetings with Shakhtar.
Meanwhile, Shakhtar have recorded two clean sheets in four away Champions League matches and failed to score in one. In this regard, we will back at least one team not to score.
