Pre-game analysis

Shakhtar (21st, 4 pts from 4) host Sporting (6th, 9 pts from 4) in the Champions League table as it stands. Shakhtar have scored 4 and conceded 3 in 3 Champions League games (1.3 and 1.0 per game). Sporting have scored 7 and conceded 4 in 3 Champions League games (2.3 and 1.3 per game). Recent form across all competitions (oldest to newest): Shakhtar LDWWL, Sporting WWLLW. In the last 2 meetings on record, Shakhtar won 0, Sporting won 2 and 0 were drawn. The goals model expects about 1.7–1.3. Shakhtar are slight favorites: Shakhtar 48%, draw 24%, Sporting 29%. The single most likely score is 1–1, but even that only has a 11% chance. Elo ratings (Shakhtar 1546, Sporting 1735) give Shakhtar an expected score of 32%, which disagrees with the goals model. Small sample warning: one side has only 3 Champions League games this season, so these numbers lean heavily on competition averages.
