Group F - Lyon, Manchester City, Shakhtar Donetsk, 1899 Hoffenheim
Shakhtar Donetsk vs 1899 Hoffenheim
Trending
Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk square off against Hoffenheim at Metalist Oblasny Sport Complex. Over the years, Shakhtar Donetsk have established themselves as one of the best teams in Europe.
The Miners are on a 5 game winning run at home, and seeing that they made an impressive start to the season, we believe that there is big value in betting on the hosts. The two sides have never met before in any of the European competitions.
Prediction: 2-1
Manchester City vs Lyon
Manchester City kick off their campaign with a game against French side Olympique Lyon at the Etihad Stadium. The Citizens put up fine performances in the elite competition last term, but Liverpool eventually proved too much for Pep Guardiola’s men.
The PL champions are ready to impress in yet another season, and we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant. Sergio 'Kun' Aguero has been in fine form at the start of the season, but there are questions on his fitness for the match.
Seeing that Lyon’s away record in this competition is anything but good, we are tempted to put our money on the Premier League title holders.
Prediction: 3-1
