Man United vs Shakhtar Donetsk Preview and Betting Tips

Manchester United play Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League on Tuesday and we have free football tips for the final group game from Old Trafford.

Man United have lost their last two matches in the Premier League, both at home, and need to avoid defeat here to ensure top spot in the group.

United qualified for the latter stages with their convincing 5-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen in the last round of fixtures and will want to get back to winning ways when they face Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday.

Shakhtar sit in second place in the group as things stand, a point ahead of Bayer Leverkusen who play Real Sociedad in Spain in their final match.  The Ukrainians lost 4-0 in Germany against Leverkusen but beat Sociedad 2-0 in their away fixture, winning the home match against the Spaniards 4-0.

Man United have won their two home matches in the group so far, conceding twice against Leverkusen in a 4-2 victory then being less than impressive in a 1-0 win against Sociedad.

In the latest betting odds for the match Manchester United are 23/20 (Coral) to win, the draw is 13/5 with Bet365 and Shakhtar are 11/4 to get the win they need to qualify.

Donetsk haven’t won in England in their last five attempts, losing four and drawing the other but they have always scored against English opposition in the Champions League, that’s seven matches.

That immediately makes both teams to score an attractive pick for a betting tip, however the better option could be to back United to get back to winning ways by betting on Manchester United to win and both teams to score at 16/5 with Coral.

Man United are struggling at home recently and that makes a bet on Shakhtar to score the first goal a viable option. That is at odds of 6/5 (Coral) but we are pushing the boat out and also going for Man United to come from behind and win at 10/1 with Bet Victor.

Finally we are backing Shakhtar Donetsk’s Alex Teixeria to score anytime at odds of 4/1 with Ladbrokes and also a small punt on the Brazilian to score first at 12/1. He has already scored twice in this seasons Champions League and all seven of Shakhtar’s goals in the competition this season have been scored by Brazilians.
