APWin Prediction

Under 2.5 Goals

After a thorough assessment of the primary betting markets, APWin analysts have identified bets with strong value potential.

👉 Our prediction is: Shakhtar Donetsk to win the 1st half

Shakhtar Donetsk is a tough opponent to face, particularly away from home. They have enough dangerous attacking weapons to deal some damage up front, while the defence is quite solid as well.

It would not be a shock if they come in and give their hosts Rukh Lviv a bit of a scare in the early going.

That is why we recommend taking Shakhtar Donetsk to win the first half.

👉 Our prediction is: Shakhtar Donetsk win or draw

Even though Shakhtar Donetsk will be the away side in this matchup, we do not expect them to go down in defeat. We recommend betting on Shakhtar Donetsk to win or draw in the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw will win the bet.

Shakhtar Donetsk does have its share of flaws, but Rukh Lviv has also looked quite vulnerable of late, and not even being at home might be enough for them to avoid dropping points to Shakhtar Donetsk.
