APWin Prediction

BTTS - Yes

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

After scanning the different markets for PSV vs Shakhtar Donetsk, we find that under 9.5 corners is the most eye-catching bet based on the playing profile of the two sides.

We don't foresee much free-flowing attacking football from the two teams, which will greatly reduce the chances of them winning the 10 total corners required to sink this bet.

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams to score

The match between PSV and Shakhtar Donetsk has all the necessary ingredients for plenty of goals. And of course: for both sides - and that's the focus of our bet here.

Therefore, we believe that the Both Teams to Score market is the best recommendation here, as the attacks are working well and, on some occasions, the defenses have been making mistakes.

That's why we're going with BTTS.
