Five reasons why Shakhtar Donetsk will lift the UEFA Cup
Shakhtar/Werder Bremen, 7.45pm, ITV4, Free Bets, Best Odds
None of the teams who worked tirelessly throughout last season to earn a place in the UEFA Cup could be bothered with actually trying to win it so it’s been left to two Champions League dropouts to scrap for the right to be the final ever winners of the competition. While that doesn’t sound too exciting, the teams are so closely matched that the bookies can’t decide on a favourite, setting both at 10/11 to win outright. Here’s why we fancy Shakhtar to win in 90 minutes at 2.78 on Betfair:
1. Shakhtar have won nine of their last ten matches in all competitions, drawing the other.
2. Werder Bremen on the other hand have lacked consistency, winning just four of their last eleven.
