Match Preview
Shakhtar Donetsk will face Beşiktaş in a crucial Europa League clash at Stadion Miejski im. Henryka Reymana in Kraków on 31 July. Both teams arrive with mixed recent form; Shakhtar has drawn four of their last five matches, while Beşiktaş has shown more resilience with three wins in their last five outings, albeit with a recent defeat. The contrasting momentum could play a significant role in this encounter, as Beşiktaş aims to build on their positive results and assert themselves against a Shakhtar side struggling to convert draws into victories. Historically, the head-to-head record leans slightly in favour of Beşiktaş, who have secured two away wins in their last ten meetings. With odds suggesting a tight contest—2.55 for a Shakhtar win and 2.6 for a Beşiktaş victory—betting on both teams to score (BTTS) at 1.44 could be a prudent angle, given the attacking capabilities of both sides and their recent goal-scoring trends. Expect a competitive match where both teams will push for a crucial victory in the group stage.
