Shakhtar Donetsk host AEK Athens at their adopted home of Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night, kick-off 8pm, and our Shakhtar Donetsk vs AEK Athens predictions and betting tips sense a tight, low-scoring Champions League contest.

Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects a cagey game.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Both teams to score – No | 23/20 (Betfair Sportsbook) | Both of these sides were defensively solid on matchday one, Shakhtar Donetsk drawing 1-1 at PSV and AEK Athens grinding out a 1-0 home win over LASK. Neither looks likely to blow the other away, and with two well-organised, cautious teams meeting in a cagey atmosphere, clear chances could be at a premium. A game with goals at only one end, or none at all, looks the play. At 23/20, both teams to score – no is the value in London. |
| The draw | 13/5 (Betfred) | The market can barely separate these sides: Shakhtar drew at PSV while AEK edged past LASK, and both are well-drilled and hard to break down. A low-scoring, cagey contest between two evenly-matched, defensively sound teams points firmly towards the spoils being shared. With so little between them, the stalemate holds real appeal. At 13/5, the draw is the value call on a tight Wednesday night at Stamford Bridge. |
