Match Preview
Bologna U19 will host Shakhtar Donetsk U19 at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on Thursday, 19 September, in a UEFA Youth League clash. The home side has struggled for form recently, managing just two draws and three losses in their last five matches. In contrast, Shakhtar Donetsk U19 arrives with a more positive trajectory, boasting two wins and three draws in their recent outings. This difference in form could play a significant role in the outcome of the match.
Historically, these teams have faced each other only once, with Shakhtar claiming the victory. Given Bologna’s defensive vulnerabilities, particularly evident in their last few performances, the odds suggest that a high-scoring affair could be on the cards. With both teams showing the potential for goals, betting on both teams to score (BTTS) at odds of 1.44 appears to be a compelling angle, especially considering the attacking talents on display. The match promises to be an intriguing encounter as Bologna seeks to turn their fortunes around against a confident Shakhtar side.
