Celtic Preview
Celtic is the only team in Group F that has failed to win any of its four matches in this Champions League group stage. As a result, it is located in the fourth and last position with only one unit, the result of one draw and three defeats. It comes into this match with two consecutive defeats.
Their defense has conceded the most goals in their group, with nine goals conceded so far. This is their last home game and it does not bode well after losing the previous two home games, as they have yet to score a goal on their home field.
Absences: No report.
Probable lineup: Joe Hart; Josip Juranovic, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Moritz Jens, Greg Taylor; Matt O’Riley, Reo Hatate; Sead Haksabanovic, Liel Abada, Daizen Maeda; Kyogo Furushashi.
Shakhtar Donetsk Preview
Shakhtar has been inconsistent in these four rounds, but unlike Celtic, they achieved one win. Unfortunately, the team has now gone three games in a row without a win, with one loss and one draw.
The Ukrainian team is in third place in Group F with five points, and it has the second best offense with seven goals scored, which is the best they have done since they have scored in each of their four matches. Curiously, their only victory came in away games and they will try to repeat it in this match, taking advantage of a lower level opponent.
Absences: No report.
Probable lineup: Anatoli Trubin, Yukhym Konoplya, Valeriy Bondar, Mykola Matvienko and Bogdan Mykhaylichenko; Taras Stepanenko; Oleksandr Zubkov, Artem Bondarenko, Heorhiy Sudakov, Mikhail Mudryk; Lassina Traoré.
JefeBet Prediction
Celtic and Shakhtar already met last September and the score ended in a 1-1 draw, even though this is the last match of the Scottish side at their home ground, the chances of them getting three points are slim and we could expect another draw without much drama.
Prediction: Draw by a score of 1-1.
