Shakhtar Donetsk vs BSC Young Boys Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Kennedy Kechula in Champions League Predictions
The chase for stability in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League is on for Shakhtar Donetsk and Young Boys. The two will square off on Match Day 4 in Germany as hosts Shakhtar Donetsk are forced for use a neutral venue. Heading into this game, Young Boys are still in search of their first point in the Champions League while Shakhtar Donetsk are seeking a first win to lift them into the playoff positions. In this preview we will break down the stats regarding the game and offer two predictions.
Shakhtar, coming from two defeats in their opening two rounds, will feel this is their best chance at bagging a win. They’ve never lost a game they hosted a Swiss club.
For the visitors, who are also struggling domestically, their European future looks bleak too. This will be their fourth away match against a Ukrainian club and they remain winless in the previous three.

Shakhtar Donetsk - BSC Young Boys: Form Analysis
Shakhtar’s league phase campaign started with a 0-0 draw at debutants Bologna. They would then lose 3-0 to Atalanta before falling 1-0 at Arsenal. The Ukrainians return to their adopted home hoping to finally get a Champions League goal, and win.
This match marks their third meeting with Young Boys in the Champions League, the first two having been in the qualifying rounds. Back then in 2016/17, when hosting this tie, Shakhtar produced a deserved 2-0 win.
In their 12 meetings with Swiss opposition to date, Shakhtar have eight wins, a draw and three losses. They have never lost to a Swiss side when hosting this fixture and that could be their cue for a first win in the league phase.
Shakhtar have eight wins in 28 European home games, and won all against Swiss opposition.
Young Boys aren’t having a start any better than Shakhtar’s in the Champions League. The visitors carry an uninspiring run into this game. Apart from losing all their opening three matches this season, they generally have a poor run on their travels in Europe.
This term, a 3-0 home loss to Aston Villa started them off, then came a 5-0 thumping in Barcelona before Inter Milan whipped them 1-0 in Bern. On the road in the Champions League group/league stage, Young Boys are winless in 10 attempts.
They avoided defeat twice in that period, drawing with Red Star Belgrade and Manchester United.

Shakhtar Donetsk & BSC Young Boys Squad Analysis
Georgiy Sudakov will be one player to watch in this game. He is currently Shakhtar’s leading light in attack with 10 goal involvements – seven goals and three assists. This impact in the team, he will be keen to carry to the Champions League.
Shakhtar will also want to tap into Artem Bondarenko’s charm in this game. Since the start of last season whenever Bondarenko scored, Shakhtar didn’t lose, winning eight of nine matches.
Goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk was unfortunate in the last round, scoring an own goal, but generally had an outstanding game. He even saved a second half penalty and will hope to put up another big performance.
Shakhtar haven't reported any injuries while Young Boys have a long list.
While Shakhtar have an almost complete squad available, Young Boys will have a lengthy injury list to carry into this match. Saidy Janko is still out with a muscle injury that has kept him out all season.
New signing Patric Pfeiffer is also yet to kick a ball since damaging his hamstring on his debut after joining from Augsburg. Meanwhile Mohamed Ali Camara remains sidelined after last being seen on the bench in the loss to Inter Milan.

Our Shakhtar Donetsk vs BSC Young Boys Prediction
The search for a first win in the league stage of this competition seems to be headed to an end for Shakhtar Donetsk. They have an encouraging record against Swiss clubs and that is helped on by the fact that Young Boys aren’t doing very well.
Despite having to play home matches out of Ukraine, Shakhtar have handled the matter just fine and will have value as hosts here. Based on the teams’ stats coming into this game, our prediction for Shakhtar Donetsk v Young Boys is for Shakhtar Donetsk to win.
