Shakhtar Donetsk hosts Atalanta in round 6 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 11th at OSC Metalist (Kharkiv)
I propose not to look for an outcome in one of the most intriguing matches of the last round of the group stage but to bet on a standard and very real goal exchange for a tolerable coefficient. After all, Shakhtar has long accustomed us all to its open and brightly attacking football in the framework of European cups. The Donetsk team has still not moved away from its sincere style, having held four out of five matches in Group C with “Both teams to score - yes”. The Ukrainian team has a whole colony of “hot” Brazilian players who are bored to demonstrate a game other than offensive. It can already be confirmed by five goals to the net of Croatian Dinamo Zagreb (3:3, 2:2), a goal for an English grandee Manchester City on the British Isles (1:1) and the impudent victory over Atalanta in the first match in Milan (2:1)! I wouldn’t even talk about the regular championship of Ukraine, where the Miners break all records in terms of scoring (48 goals scored in 17 rounds).

As for Atalanta, it is trying to backdoor its way into the playoffs, and only a victory will be a positive result in the upcoming match. In this connection, the Goddess will surely try to hog the blanket, offering the Moles its signature offensive style without any defensive emphasis and other uninteresting nuances (the Blue-Blacks simply don’t know how to play otherwise). Finally, I will add that Atalanta has been scoring goals in the Champions League for four matches in a row, having offended the goalkeepers of Man City (1:5, 1:1), Dinamo Zagreb (2: 0) and Shakhtar in the abovementioned meeting.
I will also note that Atalanta bombes everyone and everything in the running Italian Serie A, being the best attacking unit with 37 goals scored in 15 games. I believe that many people will agree with my prediction for this confrontation!
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
