Porto and Shakhtar set for a crucial Champions League clash

On Wednesday night, Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk clash at the Estadio Do Dragao in a vital gameweek six clash in Group H of the Champions League.

Porto

The Portuguese team have won five of their previous seven games in all competitions after a 3-1 home win over Casa Pia. The game continued a run of high-scoring games, as it was their sixth straight in all competitions, producing over 2.5 goals.

When it comes to the Champions League, despite a 2-1 defeat at Barcelona in gameweek five, Porto is still in second place in the group.

However, they are level on points with Wednesday night's opponents while having a superior head-to-head record to their Ukrainian opponents.

Porto has a decent recent home record in European football’s elite competition, winning three of their previous five home games in the Champions League while suffering one defeat in the run.

Shakhtar Donetsk

The Ukrainian team know that only a victory will do to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League. A win is not out of the question, as they head into this encounter on the back of a four-game unbeaten run, including three victories.

A 2-0 home win over Veres Rivne last time out means that Shakhtar has kept four clean sheets in all competitions.

After the gameweek one defeat in Group H against the Portuguese team, Shakhtar have a decent recent record in the Champions League, winning three of their last four games.

The good form includes back-to-back 1-0 wins over Barcelona and Antwerp.

However, away victories have been in short supply for the visitors in Europe’s elite competition, as they have won just one of their previous four away matches.

What does Forebet predict?

Forebet predicts that this will produce a low-scoring draw, which would be enough to send Porto to the knockout stages of the competition courtesy of a superior head-to-head record.
