Shakhtar Donetsk vs. Bayern Munich Prediction

Bayern’s lengthy injury list is a hard factor to overlook this weekend, as they will be without leading stars at both ends of the field.

Shakhtar’s excellent record home form is also worth taking into account. Therefore, it could be a solid value angle to side with the hosts on the spread.
