Bookmakers have assessed Shakhtar's chances of reaching the Champions League playoffs for the first time in six years

Shakhtar Donetsk is considered an underdog in the decisive group stage match in the Champions League's Group H against Portuguese side Porto. Marino Pašić's men will face the Dragons away on Wednesday, December 13, and only a victory will help them reach the playoffs.

The match will take place at the Dragao Stadium. OBOZ.UA will provide a live stream of the Porto vs Shakhtar match. The game starts at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Analysts have already determined the opponents' chances of success. Bets on the victory of the Ukrainian team are accepted with odds of 6.50. The draw is estimated at 4.50. And the odds of the success of the Portuguese reach 1.44.

At the same time, experts are confident that the match will delight the audience with its results. The index of 1.67 is offered for the teams to score at least three goals.

It should be noted that if Shakhtar fails to win against Porto, they will play in the Europa League head-to-head matches. The last time the Donetsk team played in the CL playoffs was in the 2017/18 season. Back then, the Ukrainians left the group with Manchester City, Napoli and Feyenoord, losing to Roma only on the away goal rule in the 1/8 finals.

As OBOZ.UA previously reported, the Champions League match between Shakhtar and Antwerp ended in a fight between the players, which was not broadcast and ended in a sending off.
