Celtic and Shakhtar Donetsk to Draw
While Celtic is likely going to end up last in this group, they still have a theoretical chance to finish third or even second, both of which seem unlikely given their performances this season.
Meanwhile, Shakhtar Donetsk is only one point behind RB Leipzig and they are hoping to reach the next stage. However, the two teams drew in their first duel and we can see that happening again in Scotland, which would hurt Shakhtar's chances of getting out of the group.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
In the first duel between Celtic and Shakhtar Donetsk, we saw both teams score. Given the fact that both teams will be looking for a win here, we can see them both scoring once again.
After all, we saw both teams score in all four Shakhtar Donetsk matches in the group so far, while the same thing happened in two of the four Celtic games in Champions League this season.
