Bologna vs Shakhtar Donetsk Predictions

• Bologna are yet to register a win this season
• Shakhtar have won two of their three away matches this season
• This is the first competitive meeting between the two sides

Miners can claim victory on Bologna’s big day

Bologna will play in Europe’s biggest club competition for the first time in 60-years on Wednesday but they may struggle to secure all three points on their big return when they face Shakhtar.

The Greyhounds were the story of Serie A last season but after losing manager Thiago Motta to Juventus, and many key stars moving on, they have failed to start the new campaign brightly – with just three points accrued from their opening four matches.

Shakhtar have also faced their share of troubles this season with two defeats from their opening five league matches but Marino Pusic’s side have been clinical in front of goal as of late, scoring eight goals across their last two games.

The goalscoring form of the visitors could be key and the Ukrainian outfit may be able to get off to a winning start in Italy. Each of Bologna’s last four home matches have seen both teams find the net so their may still be joy for the Greyhounds however our predictions is a 2-1 win for Shakhtar.
