Goaloo Preview
It's hard to speak of any positivity in the Ukrainians' game. Of course, Shakhtar plays with great dedication, but in current times the team lacks the resources for significant achievements on the international stage. An important factor is that the home field advantage is merely formal. In the match against PSV (2:3), the Ukrainians looked quite decent. Sikan and Zubkov were able to show themselves. But Bayern is a completely different level. Some players may lack experience. A telling statistic is the average of 1.6 goals conceded per match. And after facing Munich, this figure may become even more disheartening. Adding to all the skepticism towards Shakhtar is Pedrinho's disqualification, who is the main left-back. We do not expect a miracle from the Donetsk team.

Bayern feels extremely confident. Yes, there was an upset in the cup clash with Bayer (0:1), but everything is fine in the German championship. In the Champions League, Munich is 13th, but not far from the group leaders. In terms of created scoring chances, Kompany's charges are among the best in the tournament (xG 12.2). We assume that against the Ukrainians, the guests will be able to systematically generate opportunities. The tactic implies total control. This should lead to a plethora of scoring situations. Yes, Harry Kane is absent, but against a team not of the highest level, the existing squad should suffice. There is depth. In individual duels, Bayern has a significant advantage. Therefore, Bayern may not stop at just a few goals – there are ambitions to achieve a big victory.

Goaloo Prediction
There is a high probability that from the first minutes Bayern will press their opponent. Yes, without their main striker it will be slightly more challenging for them. But Munich's system allows them to compensate for any individual loss. Overall, the situation is quite favorable. Musiala and company are capable of masking Kane's absence. We expect an abundance of chances that should result in goals scored. Shakhtar will try to counterattack. There are quite talented local players in their lineup. But the class difference is too great. We anticipate a significant success for the nominal guests with a score of 0:4. In such circumstances, a bet on Bayern to win with a handicap (-1.5) seems an excellent decision.

Pick:Bayern Munich Handicap(-1.5)
