Shakhtar Donetsk vs Manchester City Prediction 18 September 2019

On September 18 2019 at 20:00 at the Oblasny SportKomplex Metalist in the upcoming regular match of the first game week of the UEFA Champions League group stage Shakhtar are going to play against Manchester City. This is going to be the match between the current champions of Ukraine and England.

Shakhtar won their starting seven matches in the Ukrainian Premier League with 23:6 goal difference which makes us think that they are on their way to their next triumph in their country. Yet, it’s always very difficult for them to play in the Euro Cups as they have some serious problems in defense. Anyway, they made it to a comparatively simple group where they can finish on the second position if they try just a little bit.

As for Manchester City, they won the championship twice in the last two years and they show the performance of the perfect quality. Despite the fact that they have only gained ten points in their starting five matches of the EPL, they are still considered to be the favorites in almost every single match they play in any competition they participate in.

In such a situation Guardiola’s side are supposed to win in the first round of the Champions League despite the fact that they are the guests here. Anyway, with the support of their domestic fans Shakhtar will be able to attack well and respond with at least one goal.
