Arsenal has demonstrated strong form, securing victories in four of their last five matches. On the other hand, Shakhtar Donetsk has failed to score in both of their Champions League outings this season and has struggled for goals in their recent matches, with both teams scoring in only two of their last six games. Arsenal’s Kai Havertz has been particularly impressive, finding the back of the net in four of the team’s last five games across all competitions.
Despite a recent setback in the Premier League with a 2-0 loss to Bournemouth—a match marred by a red card to William Saliba which significantly impacted their play—Arsenal will be keen to bounce back. Before this loss, they had notched consecutive wins against Bolton, Leicester, PSG, and Southampton, showcasing their ability to dominate games.
In the Champions League, Arsenal has had a solid start, managing a goalless draw against Atalanta and a convincing 2-0 victory over PSG at home. With Shakhtar’s recent form, particularly their struggles in front of goal and a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Atalanta, Arsenal are well-placed to secure a win at the Emirates Stadium.
For betting insights, an Arsenal win with a clean sheet seems like a strong option, considering Shakhtar’s lack of scoring in the tournament so far. A 2-0 victory for Arsenal could be a smart bet, aligning with their recent winning margins.
Additionally, Kai Havertz, riding high from his recent scoring streak, including a goal against PSG, appears to be a strong candidate to score anytime during the match, offering value for those looking to place individual scorer bets.
