Thirteen football match predictions are provided below, offering potential betting opportunities. These selections focus on matches deemed to offer the highest probability of success. It is important to note that these are predictions, and no guarantee of winnings is implied.

The first highlighted match is Ilves versus Shakhtar Donetsk, a UEFA Europa League encounter at Tammelan Stadion, kicking off at 17:00. Ilves suffered a heavy 6-0 defeat in the first leg. While home advantage might improve their performance, a Shakhtar Donetsk victory remains the most likely outcome. Shakhtar, having secured a significant first-leg win, may rotate their squad, providing opportunities for other players. Their Brazilian contingent, including Alisson Santana (who scored twice and assisted three goals in the first leg), are anticipated to feature. All six goals in the first leg were scored by Brazilian players.

Shakhtar Donetsk’s victory is the predicted result. Should they prevail, they will face Besiktas in the next round of Europa League qualifiers.

For optimal betting strategies, it’s recommended to diversify your wagers rather than placing all selections on a single bet slip.
