All odds are provided by our best football betting sites. Odds are subject to change. Shakhtar Donetsk vs Bayern Munich predictions On Monday, Shakhtar Donetsk will fly to Germany for a ‘home’ game against Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga leaders, the following night. Sadly for Shakhtar, they have grown accustomed to scenarios like this. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, they have had to play all their European matches overseas. The Stadion Wojska Polskiego in Warsaw, Poland’s capital, was their base for continental competition in 2022/23, before the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg stepped in last term. This time around Shakhtar have moved elsewhere in Germany, setting up camp at the Veltins-Arena, the home of Schalke. Yet Shakhtar have been displaced for much longer than that. As the name suggests, this is a club from Donetsk in the east of Ukraine. When Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, Shakhtar were forced out of the Donbass Arena, a five-year-old stadium that hosted five matches at Euro 2012. In the circumstances, it is remarkable that Shakhtar are still in contention for a place in the knockout phase of the Champions League. Ahead of Tuesday’s clash with Bayern, they sit 26th in the 36-team standings. Finishing between ninth and 24th would provide Shakhtar with a place in the knockout phase play-offs. As things stand they are two points adrift of 24th, a position improbably occupied by Real Madrid. Two wins in their final three games would probably be enough for Shakhtar to avoid an early elimination. Unfortunately, though, the Ukrainians still have to play two German giants in Bayern and Borussia Dortmund, as well as overachieving Brest. Even their manager Marino Pusic would acknowledge that Shakhtar have their work cut out. Bayern have been far from perfect in the Champions League so far, winning three and drawing two of their first five encounters. Vincent Kompany will fancy his side’s chances of beating each of Shakhtar, Feyenoord and Slovan Bratislava over the next few weeks. That would surely be enough for a top-eight finish and a place in the round of 16. Whether Bayern have what it takes to go all the way remains to be seen. They were second best in defeats by Aston Villa and Barcelona in October. Even so, no one will relish facing Bayern at any stage of this tournament – and that includes Shakhtar on Tuesday night.

Jamal Musiala to score any time – 11/8
With his contract at the Allianz Arena due to expire in 2026, there has been plenty of talk about Jamal Musiala’s future of late.
Bayern Munich must surely do everything they realistically can to tie the Germany international down to fresh terms.
Of course, Bayern cannot necessarily afford to offer Musiala whatever he wants, but it would be a major blow for the club to lose the 21-year-old.
The attacking midfielder notched a brace in the victory over Heidenheim last time out, while he also made the net bulge in a recent 1-1 draw with Borussia Dortmund.
Musiala is in good goalscoring form and he is capable of breaching the Shakhtar Donetsk backline.
