Bologna had a great last season, finishing in 5th place in Serie A. But this season, after the change of head coach, as Motta moved to Juventus, is not so successful - 3 draws and 1 defeat, no wins so far.
Shakhtar Donetsk played quite well in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League last season, picking up 9 points. Although Shakhtar failed to qualify for the play-offs, but the team was still remembered for a bright game, scoring a lot of goals, but conceding more.
We expect goals today as well, Bologna look favourites only because they play in a stronger league, Bologna have little advantage in terms of squad strength. Shakhtar Donetsk realise this, so they will take a risk, as they have a chance to take the points.
Prediction: both teams to score. We recommend the “BTTS - Yes” bet, odds 1.97
