S.P. Read Esq: Man City v Shakhtar Donetsk

Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to Tuesday’s Champion League clash between MAN CITY v SHAKHTAR DONETSK and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.

Plenty of short priced favourites on the Champions League coupon tonight – which one will burst the accas? – there’s usually one 🙁

Certainly not Man City if they continue their mesmerising run of form into the Champions League for their home tie against Shakhtar who have scored in just one of their last seven Champions League road trips.

City have scored an incredible 27 goals in their 8 games this season including a 4-0 win over Dutch outfit Feyenoord in their previous Champions League Group match.

Apart from tonight’s game, Man City face Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday this week which, given the two sides respective start to the new campaign, should be an absolute belter.

City’s left back Benjamin Mendy misses the match with a knee injury joining midfielder Ilkay Gundogan (knee) and defender Vincent Kompany (calf) on the injury list.

Pep Guardiola has warned his players not to underestimate tonight’s opponents.

He said: ”It is the seventh time I have played against Shakhtar.

“The first time we faced them was in the Champions League group stage. My team went to see them and came back saying ‘wow’. I can assure you they were always one of the best teams in terms of playing football. It was always so tough for me.

“My players are going to see how good they are and hopefully I can convince them to take them seriously. Shakhtar deserve all my credit.”
