Shakhtar Donetsk vs Antwerp Predictions

• Antwerp have lost all four games in this group
• The Belgian side have conceded 14 goals and have the worst goal difference across the competition
• Shakhtar have won two of their last three games in this group

More trouble for Antwerp

Antwerp have lost all four games in this group so far, including a 3-2 home loss to Shakhtar Donetsk on matchday 2. The Belgian side are having a dire time in a tricky group, which has seen them concede 14 times in total, leading to a -11 goal difference – the worst across the group stage.

Shakhtar have won their last seven European matches against Belgian sides and they should see this as a perfect chance to boost their hopes of making the next round. They’ve won two of their last three games in the Champions League to move within three points of the top two, with a 1-0 victory over Barcelona last time out changing the complexion of this pool.

Given how poor Antwerp have been so far, it’s hard to see them stopping a Shakhtar side who are impressing in Europe. The Belgian side have had particular trouble on the road in this group, so back a Shakhtar win.
