Shakhtar are the reigning champions of Ukraine, but the current national championship is not going well for the team. They went into the winter break sitting only third in the standings, and they are already ten points behind the leaders.
In the Champions League, the Black-and-Orange also leave much to be desired. In the six starting rounds they beat only Young Boys - 2:1, another point was earned for the draw with Bologna - 0:0, and in the remaining four battles there were only defeats. This is enough for 27th place in the composite standings.
Brest
Brest created a real sensation in the last draw of the French Ligue 1, when they finished in third place in the standings and got a ticket to the Champions League. The current championship Red and White are not so successful, occupying after the 18th round only ninth place in the standings.
But in the Champions League, the French are showing excellent results. In the six starting rounds, they allowed only one defeat from Barcelona - 0:3. Once again there was a draw with Bayer - 1:1, and in the four remaining battles they won. This keeps Brest in seventh place in the standings.

Expert Betting Tips
Brest are much more successful in the current Champions League draw than Shakhtar. The French side have already accumulated 13 points in the previous six rounds, which guarantees them a play-off spot, but now they are trying to consolidate their position in the top-8 to move straight into the 1/8 finals. “The Pitmen have only four points, and therefore their chances of even reaching the round of 32 look minimal. In addition, the Red-Whites have won their last three games in a row, and therefore a win for Brest is a reasonable bet.
Brest recently not only beats everyone on their way, but also plays very brightly. In the three previous games in a row, the Red and Whites scored at least two goals, and in total in this stretch there were 9 goal takedowns (3.00 average per game), and every time there was a bookmaker's total over. Based on this, the best option for the prediction is Brest individual total over 1.5 goals, and separately it is worth betting on the total over 2.5.
W2 for 2.60
