Arsenal vs Shakhtar Donetsk Bet Builder Tips
Our bet builder tips for Arsenal vs Shakhtar Donetsk features Kai Havertz to Score, Arsenal to win at half time and Taras Stepanenko to be carded.
At the time of publishing it is a best price of 19/2 with UniBet.
With Saka out injured, Kai Havertz will have to step up and take on more responsibility as Arsenal's main goal scoring threat. He has scored in four of Arsenal's last five games and is averaging 3.3 shots a game in the Premier League and 1.5 in the Champions League.
They face a far lesser opponent than their last two in this competition and Havertz should be able to find the goal.
Arsenal will want to quickly stamp their authority on this game after a disappointing loss this weekend will have unerved them.
They have led at half time in five of their six home games this season and face a side that have failed to score a Champions League goal and trailed by two in the first half against Atalanta.
Taras Stepanenko is not the most mobile and athletic of defensive midfielders and the 35-year-old will struggle to keep up with Arsenal's pace through the middle of the park. He has fouled twice in both Champions League games and was dribbled past six times against Atalanta. He should struggle against Arsenal.
