Football – Europe – Champions League Betting Tips
Group F is up next, and match day four sees the two favourites of the group, Napoli and Manchester City, playing each other, while Shakhtar Donetsk have a great chance of staking their claim for a top two spot when they play Dutch side, Feyenoord, at their Donbass Arena on Wednesday night.
The Ukrainian hosts come into this match on the back of a six match run without defeat in all competitions, while losing just once in their last 16 matches overall, so they’ll be confident that they can add to their points tally in this group, and perhaps take advantage of the other match being played tonight in the group too.
Shakhtar made a great start in Group F when they registered a valuable 2-1 home win over Napoli, and although they suffered a 2-0 defeat away at Premier League side, Manchester City on match day two, they bounced back in style with a 2-1 win away at tonight’s opponents, Feyenoord last time out. Watch out for forward, Ferreyra who has scored 9 goals domestically so far this season.
Visitors Feyenoord find themselves bottom in a very tough Group F without any points to their name after the first three matches of this group phase in the Champions League. Defeats to Manchester City 4-0 at home, 3-1 away at Napoli and a 2-1 loss at home to Shakhtar Donetsk has virtually guaranteed their exit in the competition, and another defeat here would seal their fate.
Feyenoord can still grab third place though, and thereby earn a passage into the Europa League, but with just two wins from their last eight matches in all competitions, even this looks like a tall order for the former Dutch giants.
Throw in five defeats on the trot away from home in Champions League ties, and you can see why they’re bottom of the pile ahead of this evening’s encounter in Donetsk.
Pick: Shakhtar Donetsk AH-1 @ 1.64 Bet Victor
