Shakhtar Donetsk is coming into this match with a recent trend to the over in their matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 as well as 4 of their last 6 matches. Their attack has been very good in these matches as they have scored 7 goals in their last 3 matches, and they are going to be pushing to win this match as they are currently sitting outside of the top 24 and having nothing to lose here. Even when playing in this competition, their last 3 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 Champions League matches have all gone over 2.5 goals. They are going up against a Brest side that has also been trending to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in their last 3 straight as well as 4 of their last 6 matches. They have been in great form recently with 3 straight wins and their attack has been on fire as well, scoring at least 2 goals in each of their last 3 and in 4 of their last 6 matches. Their defense has not been keeping clean sheets though as they have also allowed at least 1 goal in their last 4 straight matches. When playing away from home, they have gone over 2.5 goals in 10 of their last 12 matches and even in this competition, all 3 of their away matches in Champions League have gone over 2.5 goals as well. Brest has a very good attack that will find the net on this Shakhtar defense as Brest has been in very good form recently and need the points to get into the top 8, but their defense has not been air tight and Shakhtar also has a potent attack that will find the net at home as they have nothing to lose here. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this match to push it over 2.5 goals.
