Shakhtar - AEK: betting tip (cf 1.92) and bets on the Champions League match


Command Analysis

Current form
Since the beginning of the season, Shakhtar has allowed itself only one misfire, when it lost to Polesie in the national championship (0:2). After that defeat, Turan's team played six official matches, in which they won five and drew once. The draw came just in time for the opening round of the Champions League away from PSV (1-1). There was a lot of fighting in that meeting, the opponents created few dangerous moments, they only scored two shots on target. In the national championship, Shakhtar leads the standings after eight rounds and is two points ahead of Polesie.
Disqualifications and injuries
Azarov's entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of the last four matches involving Shakhtar, an exchange of goals was recorded.
- Shakhtar's players fouled more often than their opponents in three of the four previous matches.
The approximate line-up: Riznyk – Tobias, Bondar, Matvienko, Pedro Henrique – Marlon Gomez, Ocheretko – Alison, Isake, Mendoza – Elias.

Current form
AEK successfully started the main stage of the Champions League with a 1-0 home victory over LASK. The Greeks scored a goal in the middle of the first half, after which they clearly played on hold, they did not allow the opponent to create almost anything at their own goal. In the entire match, the Austrians scored only three shots on target. There are six rounds left in the Greek Super League, with Marko Nikolic's men in second place and just one point behind Panathinaikos. Since the beginning of the season, AEK has not suffered a single defeat in the national championship and is distinguished by its usual reliable defensive play: only three goals conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
AEK has Strakosha in the infirmary, but Varga and Zubkov are questionable.
Interesting betting trends

- In six of the last seven matches, AEK has won by offside
Approximate composition: Brignoli – Rota, Mukudi, Relvas, Pilios – Mayer, Vitalish, Marin, Gacinovich – Koita, Jovich.
Tip and bets
There is no favorite in the bookmaker's line, we have rivals in many ways comparable in class, plus the match will be held on a neutral field at Stamford Bridge in London. On such an equal line, it is still worth betting on nominal guests. Since the beginning of the season, AEK has not suffered a single defeat in regular time, taking into account all tournaments, is able to play to hold the score, block all approaches to its penalty area. Shakhtar does not have a constant practice of matches against decent opposition, which may not be in favor of the nominal owners today.
Our betting tip is for AEK to win with an Asian handicap (0) for a coefficient of 1.92
Bet on the total
Shakhtar held off PSV's attack in the first round of the Champions League (1-1) and is unlikely to play open football today. AEK is one of those teams that, if they achieve an advantage, they try to keep it, which was noticeable in the match against LASK (1-0). We don't expect more than two goals scored today.
The second bet is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.92
Betting on corners
When choosing a corner bet, we start from the nominal guests. AEK has not lost to its corner rivals in 16 of the 18 previous matches. At least according to this trend, Shakhtar does not deserve the status of the favorite that the bookmakers assigned to it.
Betting Tip – AEK wins on corners with a handicap (0) with a coefficient of 2.03
