Game Preview

The Gunners lost to Bournemouth in a frustrating match that saw them lose a player on the pitch due to a red card. After that, everything went downhill for Arteta’s unit, which didn’t have a solution for stopping the Cherries.

It was Arsenal’s first loss since the season kicked off, and only the second time they haven’t scored. When playing at home, the Gunners are very tough and confident, posting five wins and one tie and netting 17 goals during that stretch.

Shakhtar narrowly beat Kolos Kovalivka on the road in the Ukrainian domestic league. It was 0-1 for the Miners, who didn’t play particularly well in this meeting.

Regarding their UEFA Champions League fixtures, they have a goalless tie vs. Bologna on the road and a 0-3 loss to another Italian club, Atalanta. They should have defeated Bologna, missing a penalty early on, which might be a huge deal when the campaign ends.

Arsenal vs. Shakhtar Head-to-Head

The previous pair of direct encounters was in 2010. Arsenal smashed the Miners at home, 5-1, but lost in Donetsk, 2-1.

Arsenal vs. Shakhtar Predictions

Arsenal’s sense of urgency will push Arteta’s team to a confident win against the rival who isn’t playing regularly. That’s why we must take the Gunners to win and cover a 1.5-goal spread.
