Match Preview
In the UEFA Youth League clash between Shakhtar Donetsk U19 and Young Boys U19 on November 6, both teams come into the match with contrasting forms. Shakhtar has shown resilience with two wins in their last five matches, while Young Boys are struggling, having lost all five of their recent outings. This disparity in form could play a crucial role, especially considering that Shakhtar has a solid home advantage, playing at Sportanlage Ernst-Kuzorra-Weg.
Historically, Shakhtar has dominated this fixture, winning one of their last ten encounters without any draws. The odds reflect this, with Shakhtar being favoured at 1.75. An interesting angle to consider is the potential for goals; while the head-to-head record suggests limited scoring, Shakhtar's attacking prowess could exploit Young Boys' defensive frailties. With odds of 1.5 for over 2.5 goals and 1.53 for both teams to score, there could be value in backing a high-scoring match, especially if Shakhtar continues their recent form.
