MONACO VS SHAKHTAR DONETSK PREDICTION

Both Monaco and Shakhtar Donetsk made fairly light work of their third qualifying round opponents leading to this two-legged play-off round battle for the right to play Champions League group stage football. The first leg sees the Ukrainians travel to Stade Louis II and Monaco will likely take the game to the visitors as they look to make use of home advantage and give themselves a lead to take into the return leg. However, they must also be aware of the threat that Shakhtar pose on the counter attack and a cagey affair could be in prospect here as neither side look to give anything away that could leave them with a mountain to climb heading into the second leg. With that in mind, under 2.5 goals should be seriously considered as clear-cut chances may well be at a premium.
