Celtic vs Shakhtar Donetsk Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 25th October 2022
An exciting match should be on the cards this coming Tuesday, when Celtic bid welcome to Shakhtar Donetsk at Celtic Park. Decision time is coming up in the group stages of the Champions League this season, as we enter round five.
After the fourth round of the group stage Celtic are number four on one point, while Shakhtar Donetsk have five points as number three. Having only picked up a meagre one point so far, Celtic need to up their game to claim their first win in the Champions League. Seeing the next round of the Champions League is no longer a possibility, but a third place remains within reach with three points here.
Shakhtar Donetsk arrive at their fifth Champions League match with five points to show for their efforts. It means they need a win to see the next stage, while a draw probably will not do. At least not for the Champions League, but a third place could see them chasing other opportunities.
