Arsenal vs Shakhtar Donetsk prediction
The Gunners have to be strong favourites at home despite missing three key players in Odegaard, Saka and Timber.
This is not the Shakhtar of old, who could do toe to toe with some of Europe’s elite. They have registered just one shot on target across two games - a draw with Bologna and a 3-0 hammering at the hands of Atalanta. This should be fairly routine for the Gunners.
Arsenal to win 2-0.
