After analysing how the bookmakers have priced this match between Shakhtar Donetsk and Veres, we see the total going under 2.5 goals.

We don't expect this match to have too many scoring opportunities, so there shouldn't be more than a couple of goals scored overall.

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

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