We like Shakhtar Donetsk vs Bologna to stay Under the total for a number of reasons. Here are some of the most important ones:

1. Bologna is not a dangerous offensive team. They scored 2 against a weak (promoted) Como team last match but only 1 in their previous 2 matches combined.

2. Bologna is in unfamiliar territory, having not played on this stage for several decades.

3. Bologna has some injuries to key offensive players including forward Nicolo Cambiaghi and attacking midfielder Lewis Ferguson.

4. Shakhtar is off a high-scoring match against a poor Karpaty club but their last match against a decent team resulted in a 0-0 draw.

5. Shakhtar has won just twice in its last 11 Champions League away matches. Scoring on the road is not easy for the Ukranian champions.

We're expecting a low-scoring match with one of the following final scores likely to occur: 0-0, 1-0, 1-1, 2-0. The play is the under.
