Shakhtar Donetsk vs Genk Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Steve Ashfield | in Champions League Predictions
Shakhtar Donetsk host Genk in the second leg of their Champions League third qualifying round tie. They have a 2-1 lead from the first leg played last week, so Shakhtar will be rather disappointed if not making it into the play-off round. The winners of this tie face either Slavia Prague or Monaco (who lead 2-0 after the first leg) for a place in the group stages. Shakhtar are attempting to make it into the group stages for the fifth season in a row.

Only once since 2011 have Genk made it to the group stages of the Champions League. Their last appearance was in 2019/20 when they finished bottom below Napoli, Liverpool and Red Bull Salzburg, losing all their games bar a home match against Napoli with 12 goals conceded in their three away matches. Of 22 games played in the Champons League, only five have been won. The last of those was in 2011 with no wins in the last 13 and the last five lost. The last seven on the road have been lost with 28 goals conceded.
