Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Shakhtar Donetsk vs Atalanta

Shakhtar Donetsk

In September, the Miners managed to take part in four official matches, winning two of them and drawing two more. Overall, the result is not bad, however, I always expect more from the Ukrainian champion. In the Champions League, Marino Pusic's guys failed to show themselves brightly, the club drew 0:0 with not the most formidable Bologna on the road. Moreover, the Miners fought back for most of the match. The Orange-Blacks unexpectedly ended up without three points in the last UPL match, sharing points with Veres on the road 1:1.

Atalanta

Gian Piero Gasperini's boys have been extremely unsuccessful in the first months of the season, the team has managed to participate in seven games, having won only two and drawn, having suffered four defeats. In the opening game of the main European tournament, the "queen of the provinces" managed to play a good match, having drawn 0:0 with Arsenal on their home soil . In the Italian championship, things are not going so well for the "Bergamaschi", in the last match the club sensationally lost at home to the league's newcomer - Como 2:3.

Game Totals Prediction

Both teams cannot put the start of the season as an asset. Shakhtar is having problems even in the UPL, although its squad is head and shoulders above its rivals, but the club has no game. Atalanta is not distinguished by stability, it has changed significantly in the summer and now new players are being ground in. Both clubs need three points, so they must play attacking, given the opponents' poor defense, I think both teams will score in the upcoming meeting: both will score - yes - 1.74 from 1xbet. Download 1xbet to your phone and place a bet on the favorite!
