Arsenal vs Shakhtar Donetsk Prediction & Picks - Champions League

 by Carlos Zabala | in Champions League Picks

Arsenal finally lost their Premier League unbeaten record when they lost 2-0 to Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. Arteta's men could do little when Saliba received a red card in the 30th minute, from then on the game became an onslaught by the home side who would eventually be rewarded with two goals between the 70th and 80th minutes. However, Arteta's team once again held out for quite some time with one man less and even won possession of the ball with 52%, but the home side would end up shooting even doubling the Gunners.

Still, betting sites see Arsenal as one of the teams with the best projection and with a chance of lifting trophies in mid-2025, as they remain second favorites to win the Premier League with odds of +260, and third favorites to win the Champions League with odds of +800.

They will now face Shakhtar Donetsk in the continental competition at the Emirates Stadium. Shakhtar Donetsk is 4th in its domestic league and drew 0-0 against Bologna in Italy, and lost 0-3 against Atalanta in the second round.

Arsenal, for its part, had drawn 0-0 with Atalanta in Bergamo, but had a fairly good game in the most recent victory against PSG, also helped by the errors of the rival goalkeeper.

Our Arsenal vs Shakhtar Donetsk Prediction

If Arsenal keep a clean sheet, they will be able to keep three Champions League clean sheets in a row for the first time since 2007, which seems like an achievable goal as Shakhtar's offense in the continental competition has been quite poor and in fact they only generated 0.26 xG at home against Atalanta. The Bergamo club could be the perfect gauge for a prediction for this game, as Arsenal and Shakhtar have already faced each other. The Gunners salvaged a goalless draw with an alternative visiting side, while Atalanta thrashed Shakhtar. Our prediction for Arsenal vs Shakhtar is: Arsenal -2.5, -120 at DraftKings.
