Shakhtar Donetsk take on the visitors RB Leipzig in the round 6 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 2nd at Stadion Wojska Polskiego (Warsaw).
Shakhtar Donetsk were able to exceed expectations. The Pitmen could not win a single game a year ago - this is with the promising Roberto De Zerbi in the coaching post and a bunch of star legionnaires, mostly from Brazil, on the field. Now, when all this crowd has fled from Ukraine, and the new mentor, Jovicevich, had to rebuild a lot, especially in the attack group. But it looks like the Orange-Blacks were also underestimated by the Germans, and the tournament started 4-1 in Germany. After that, they managed to draw twice with Celtic, 1-1 each. And at Real Madrid, after 1-2 in Madrid, the Ukrainians were in the lead, but conceded from Rudiger in the last attack of the visitors. Now 3rd place is guaranteed, but they want more. To do this, they need to defeat the "bulls" once again.

RB Leipzig benefit from manager change. The Bulls with Domenico Tedesco, who came a little less than a year ago, was able to save last season, climbing to 4th place and even winning the national cup. But after the summer holidays, the team played so badly that already in September they broke up him just after 1:4 with Shakhtar. The new coach had to get comfortable and build relationships with new players. It didn't work against Real Madrid in the 2nd round, they scored twice in the end. But in October the Germans were already much stronger. At first, they managed to deal with Celtic twice without any problems. And last Tuesday, due to a powerful start, with 2 scored by the 18th minute, it turned out to win against the Galacticos. After this 3-2 RB Leipzig were 3 points clear of Shakhtar. However, the Pitmen's task would be the same: any victory will suit them, a draw is enough for the Germans.
In September, the clubs first crossed paths with each other on the pitch. RB Leipzig is seen as the clear favorite - a symbol that Shakhtar are underestimated. Taking into account the tasks of the teams for the head-to-head match, we recommend betting on the Pitmen with a handicap of "+1 goal".
Prediction for the match: Shakhtar Donetsk to win with +1.0 handicap.
