⭐ Editorial Prediction
Shakhtar's form suggests the hosts should control the game. However, Arda Turan's side come into this match off an energy-sapping Champions League fixture, with an away game against Inter just a few days later. A heavy win seems unlikely, especially given how difficult Shakhtar have found matches against Kolos recently. The main bet is Total Goals - Under 3.5.
