Shakhtar did quite well in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, picking up 9 points with a home win over Barcelona.
Marseille had a rather difficult group in the Europa League: not everyone can get into the play-offs, struggling with Brighton and Ajax. But the "southerners" took the second place, demonstrating excellent performance (24 goals in 6 games of the group stage).
In terms of squad strength, Marseille look the favorites in this pairing, but still do not underestimate Shakhtar at home. We expect that such matches will follow the scenario of Marseille's games with Ajax, where the chances of success were also roughly equal, and there was an abundance of goals.
Prediction: at least 3 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 2.5" bet, odds 1.96
