Manchester City v Shakhtar Donetsk Betting Tips & Predictions

 

 

 

 

Manchester City come into this match after they have been in mouth watering form and with their current performances it is tough to think of many sides who will be capable of beating them this season. They have scored a huge twenty two goals in their last five games and they have only conceded one goal as they look to diminish the stereotype that they are weak at the back. They were immense as they beat  Crystal Palace 6-0 at the weekend and in all honesty it could have been more as the Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero partnership looks something special and a side with David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne are always going to create chances out of nothing. They have been great at home too as they have managed to win five of their last six games with a 1-1 draw against Everton their only failure to pick up all three points.

Shakhtar Donetsk meanwhile are in some great form of their own as they sit top of their league domestically with twenty five points from their first ten games. Brazilian Marlos may be their best threat going forward after he has already bagged five goals this season but it may be difficult  to get beyond a Manchester City side who have conceded just once in five games.They have managed to win five of their last six matches but they have been just as good away from home after they have racked up exactly the same record with no defeats at ll during this time. They picked up a huge 2-1 win over Italian giants Napoli at home in their first game in something of a shock result and they will be hungry for an upset here that would put them in a hugely promising position with four games remaining.
