Shakhtar Donetsk

After three rounds of the Champions League, only four clubs have yet to score a goal, including the Miners, who drew with Bologna at the tournament's outset (0:0), then suffered defeats to Atalanta (0:3) and Arsenal (0:1). The last time the Ukrainian club failed to score in three consecutive UCL group stage matches was in 2021/22. With just one point, Shakhtar is placed modestly at 30th. - Shakhtar's winless streak in this European competition stands at four matches (1 draw and 3 losses). - At least one team failed to score in 5 of the last 6 UCL matches involving the Ukrainians. - No more than three goals were scored in 6 of the last 7 games featuring the Miners in this tournament.

Young Boys

The Swiss side has not earned a single point and also has not managed to score any goals. The team began the group stage with two heavy defeats – against Aston Villa (0:3) and Barcelona (0:5). After that, Young Boys changed their head coach but still lost in the third round at home to Inter (0:1). The Swiss club had not seen such a losing streak in this competition since the fall of 2021 and is now in the penultimate 35th place. - At least three goals were scored in 9 of the last 12 UCL matches involving Young Boys. - In 6 of the last 8 games involving the Swiss side in this tournament, one of the teams won to nil. - The club conceded first in 8 of the last 11 European cup encounters.

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Young Boys: Match Prediction

This is a meeting between clubs that have yet to score in the current tournament and together have earned just one point. Neither team could fully showcase their abilities against stronger opponents, but in a matchup with an equal rival, there's a chance to improve their records. I presume that the nominal hosts will at least not lose, as the Miners have a better presence in the main stage of this European cup and also boast decent results in their domestic league. Young Boys, even in the Swiss Super League, are at the bottom of the table. I also have no doubt that there will be at least two goals in this encounter. Shakhtar's matches in the Ukrainian Premier League are the most prolific, and the club averages 2.5 goals per game in their league. Young Boys are also good in attack but concede nearly the most in the Super League (on average about 2 goals). Furthermore, at least two goals were scored in 15 of the last 19 UCL matches involving the Ukrainians and in 10 of the last 12 games involving the Swiss team in this tournament. My prediction is "1X and Over 1.5" with odds of 1.65. Author:

Betting tips 6 Nov 2024

In the first three rounds of the Champions League group stage, both Shakhtar Donetsk and Young Boys have failed to score a single goal. Both teams are deservedly rooted at the bottom of the table, but they see this face-off as an opportunity to climb higher – a task complicated by their poor finishing.

It's evident that Shakhtar Donetsk have been unlucky with a tough fixture list in the early stages of the Champions League. While they might have snatched a victory against Bologna (0:0), they stood little chance against Atalanta (0:3) and Arsenal (0:1). At the Emirates, Shakhtar Donetsk only managed an xG of 0.67 with a single shot on target. Despite this, the coaching staff continues to rely on a single defensive midfielder formation (4-1-4-1), which hasn’t been as effective in Europe as it has domestically.

Ahead of their trip to Gelsenkirchen, Young Boys are one of six Champions League teams yet to earn a point from their first three matches. They likely struggle to reset due to a series of injuries to key players, including Mohamed Camara, Abdu Conté, Saidy Janko, Patric Pfeiffer, and Tanguy Zoukrou, who remain sidelined. Despite their attacking inactivity (only two shots on target), Young Boys were close to snatching a draw with Inter Milan (0:1), conceding the sole goal during injury time.

In the summer of 2016, Shakhtar Donetsk and Young Boys faced each other in two Champions League qualification matches and couldn't score more than two goals in regular time (2:0 and 0:3 after a penalty shootout). It’s likely these two underdogs will once again offer a lacklustre performance in the opponent’s half.
