FC Porto vs Shakhtar Donetsk Prediction
FC Porto Form
FC Porto look back on their last three matches with six points to show for their efforts. Against Barcelona, they were left empty-handed in a 2-1 defeat, but they avenged themselves by beating Famalicao in a 0-3 win. They followed that up with a 3-1 win against Casa Pia AC in their most recent outing. FC Porto won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the Champions League, while also drawing one. They suffered two defeats, while they scored six and conceded six goals.
Shakhtar Donetsk Form
Shakhtar Donetsk are in awesome shape going into this next encounter, as they won their last three matches on the bounce. Royal Antwerp got left behind in a 1-0 win, before Metalist 1925 got hammered in a 2-0 victory. Veres Rivne was the most recent victim in a 2-0 win for Shakhtar Donetsk. Shakhtar Donetsk, meanwhile, won twice, while they've drawn one and lost three in their last six away in the Champions League.
We expect FC Porto to make home advantage count but equally, we do not expect a festival of goals against Shakhtar Donetsk. Hence, our punt on the home win in a match with no more than three goals.
