Shakhtar v Antwerp: Back a goal & a shot in 9/2 Bet Builder

Mark van Bommel's Antwerp will be keen to get something from the group

Paul Higham has a 9/25.50 Bet Builder for the Champions League clash between Shakhtar and Antwerp in Germany on Tuesday.


Shakhtar's huge shock win over Barcelona kept them alive in this group, and now a second victory over Royal Antwerp would put them in a great position to try and qualify.

The Ukrainian side were 3-2 wins in the reverse fixture in Belgium and with Antwerp conceding 14 goals already in the group then we could have a few more goals this time around.

With Group H not bothering with draws so far and with Antwerp losing four of their last seven away games then a 'home' win for the Ukrainians in Germany looks theres for the taking.

Leg 1: Danylo Sikan to score anytime

Let's try and bag a goalscorer in this game as I think Shakhtar will get a few against Antwerp - who shipped five at Barcelona, two at Porto and have just one away clean sheet in seven.

And if we're looking for a goalscorer then Danylo Sikan seems like our man as a 9/52.80 anytime goalscorer.

Sikan scored twice in the first game in Antwerp and I'm not sure they'll be able to stop him second time around - plus he's scored eight of his last 12 goals in home games.

Leg 2: Arbnor Muja 1+ shot on target

Mark van Bommel's side will give it a go though as they look to try and get something from this group - after losing every game and scoring just three goals so far.

With that meagre return we're probably best off swerving a scorer for Antwerp and instead looking for a value play for a shot on target.

Arbnor Muja is the man we'll side with, as the Albanian has hit the target in seven of the last 10 games he's played for Antwerp.

Muja is 1/12.00 for 1+ shot on target and has some decent stats behind him as he averages just over a shot on target per 90 minutes and has had at least one in five of his six Champions League games this season.

Back Sikan to score & Muja 1+ shot on target in Shakhtar v Antwerp @ 9/25.50
