Arsenal vs Shakhtar Donetsk prediction and odds ahead of Champions League clash

Arsenal have embarked on their UEFA Champions League journey with a sense of determination and flair as they gear up for their next clash, they stand as firm favourites to secure victory against Shakhtar Donetsk at the Emirates. Bookies Betfred have the Gunners priced as the favourites at 1/8 while Donetsk are 22/1 outsiders and a draw is 15/2.

The Gunners' European campaign had a dramatic start with a tense encounter against Atalanta. The match saw goalkeeper David Raya emerge as a hero, making a pivotal penalty save that allowed Arsenal to escape with a draw. Returning to familiar territory, Arsenal showcased their prowess by convincingly overcoming PSG in front of their home fans.

Despite experiencing a hiccup in the Premier League with a 2-0 loss to Bournemouth over the weekend, Mikel Arteta's squad is driven to bounce back and clinch three points against Shakhtar Donetsk.

Shakhtar Donetsk, once a notable force in European football, have faced significant hurdles due to the ongoing turmoil in Ukraine. Their Champions League journey began with a hard-earned draw against Bologna on foreign soil, which offered a glimmer of hope. However, their next outing was less fortunate, as they were comprehensively defeated by Atalanta, who secured a 3-0 win in Germany.

As Arsenal prepare for the upcoming fixture, they are keen to harness their impressive European form to rebuild momentum and continue their pursuit of Champions League glory. With the home crowd behind them and lessons learned from recent challenges, the Gunners are poised to press forward with ambition and resilience.
