Shakhtar Donetsk vs D. Zagreb Prediction & Betting tips
This Tuesday begins to shoot the third day of the UEFA Champions League group stage and so it will begin in the Oblasny SportKlompex Metalist in Khrakiv, when the leader of the Ukrainian Premier League such as Shahktar Donetsk receives the visit of the leader of the 1. HNL of Croatia, such as Dinamo Zagreb, at stake corresponding to Group C of the European Champions League.
Shakhtar Donetsk:
Those led by the Portuguese Luis Castro continue to demonstrate all their superiority in the Ukrainian Premier League, and so last weekend they demonstrated all their offensive power by beating Kolos Kovalivka 6-0 and thus added perfect score in eleven games , taking a ten-point lead over his Dynamo Kyiv escort.
This advantage allows the Ukrainian cast to focus calmly on their participation in the current edition of the UEFA Champions League where they have added three points in their first two games, and that was when in their last game they won 1-2 in their visit to the Italian cast such as Atalanta, and this Tuesday he wants to take advantage of his status as a homeowner in order to add three valuable points to the direct rival for the second place in the group that allows to classify the next stage as is Dinamo Zagreb, and we say This is because with Manchester City in the group because everything indicates that the English stayed with the first place.
Being a little more extensive, we can say that the Ukrainian cast is a difficult team to beat at home in the European Champions League, to the point that they have only fallen in two of their last nine home games, and both came to the hands of the Manchester City of Pep Guardiola.
Dinamo Zagreb :
For their part, those led by Nenad Bjelica also continue to show all their power in the 1. HNL of Croatia and so last weekend they won 2-4 in their visit to Gorica, and thus added 25 points in eleven games, to remain at the top of the classification with one more point than their Hajduk Split escort although they have one more game, so Dinamo Zagreb can feel calm for his game this Tuesday, where he knows that much of the classification is played at next phase of the UEFA Champions League.
As for his participation in the European Champions League, we can say that it is the same as his rival in turn, since they add three points in two games and these came in his 4-0 victory to the Italian cast of Atalanta, while that the other was dropped to one of the favorites to lift the title as is the English cast of Manchester City.
Now, being a little broader, we can say that Dinamo Zagreb‘s participation in the UEFA Champions League has been very remarkable, since that defeat against the English has been the only one in the last eight games for that competition where five of them finished in victories, and care that this regularity is maintained in his games as a visitor by this competition, losing only one of his last seven outings, and he wants to continue maintaining that regularity before a Shakhtar Donetsk who they have not been able to defeat in their five direct confrontations where four of them ended in losses.
