Shakhtar Record-Breaker Ready For More
A Brazilian scored 5 when these sides met two weeks ago and it would be a shock if he drew a blank on home turf.
We’re staying in Group H for our second Champions League tip where Luiz Adriano looks a snip at 5/1 (Betfred) to score two or more against Bate Borisov.
It’s only a fortnight since the Ukrainians stormed to a 7-0 victory in Belarus so who knows what can happen when Shakhtar return to their formidable Donbass Arena for the re-match!
Adriano tied Messi’s record in that fixture by becoming only the second player to ever score five times in this competition. He became the first player to ever grab four in a first half before he hit the post in the second period, adding a late penalty to seal the rout.
The 27-year-old also pounced in the 2-2 draw with Porto in the previous round of matches to ensure he is top scorer in this season’s Champions League.
With Shakhtar lying second in the group and only two points ahead of their fragile opponents, don’t expect them to ease off in any way on Wednesday.
