Shakhtar Donetsk vs FC Porto Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 19th September 2023
Shakhtar Donetsk are getting ready to clash with FC Porto on Tuesday at the Volksparkstadion. The match is played out as one of sixteen games in the first round of the Champions League group stage.
Last season saw Shakhtar Donetsk playing their “home” matches in the Champions League in Warsaw, but they camped out in the Hamburg Volksparkstadium this year. It can only be a disadvantage not being able to play at home, and FC Porto won't feel timid about playing in the German metropole.

FC Porto hit the target 13 times in the last ten outings in this tournament, which creates an average of 1.3 goals a game. They conceded 1.3 per match for a total of 13 against, while claiming a clean sheet four times as well.
