Real Madrid – Shakhtar Donetsk Betting Preview

Real Madrid – Shakhtar Donetsk Analysis:

The betting markets usually allow us to compare historic games between big clubs such as the protagonists of the upcoming match. However, nothing related to Ukraine is living a normal situation right now.

But the Ukrainian Premier League is incredibly going on behind closed doors, in what is perceived as an attempt to boost the morale of the population. Moments like these show us that sport is a fundamental aspect of our society.

But how does the reality of this game, unlike any other in the history of the matches between these teams, translate as odds in the betting markets?

UEFA Champions League Group F Situation

The Ukrainians have beaten Red Bull Leipzig on the road and they also earned a point against Celtic. Real Madrid has collected 6 points so far. If any team wins the game, it will be a solid step towards the qualification to the knockout phase.

RB Leipzig and Celtic have 1 and 0 points, respectively. This kind of situation in which two teams are dominating a group of a cup with 32 teams normally produce qualifications in advance, before the final round of the group stage.

Real Madrid – Shakhtar Donetsk: 1X2 Current Odds

The market average for the victory of Real Madrid is now 1.18, the odds for the draw are 8.14, and the average for the potential victory of Shakhtar Donetsk is 14.91.
Clearly, Real Madrid is the favourite, as expected.

But would an 18% profit be worth a bet? These days some would argue betting on Real Madrid is safer than betting on certain stocks of companies. Of course, this is no financial advice, just an analogy to measure risk.

But if the 1×2 market doesn’t sound appealing enough right now, let’s have a look at other markets for this game.

Real Madrid – Shakhtar Donetsk: Asian Handicap Betting Preview

On the other hand, if you believe the Ukrainians won’t lose by more than 1 goal, this could mean an 85% profit as the lines are now Shakhtar Donetsk +2.25 @1.85

Real Madrid – Shakhtar Donetsk: Over/Under markets

Let’s have a look at the goal market by analyzing the current average odds in the Asian handicap goals market.

As we have a strongly handicapped Real Madrid, naturally, the goal lines are higher. The closest to even odds are the lines of over/under 3.5 goals.

Over 3.5 is now trading at 1.94 on average, while under is trading at 1.89.

Real Madrid just lost precious points at home against Osasuna last weekend and even lost the top spot of the La Liga classification table. Perhaps they’ll just try to win and rest some regulars after the job is done?

Real Madrid surely has a lot of players in top form, including attackers like Vini Jr, but I’m always a bit cautious in terms of big lines like this. Maybe under 3.5 could be a bargain for hedge bettors for example?
