There's more UEFA Champions League action coming our way on Tuesday evening, when Shakhtar and Sporting will clash in West London. The Ukrainians have Stamford Bridge as their temporary UCL home, and that's where they'll be hoping to make it two wins from two, though facing a visiting team that won away against Lens recently won't be easy.
'Both Teams to Score' bettors, especially those looking to build a UCL parlay, should pay close attention to this game, which is between two teams who've scored plenty of goals in recent weeks. Playing at Stamford Bridge earlier on in the League Phase, the Shakhtar offensive line had an enjoyable evening, scoring three goals against Celtic, but at the other end of the field they gave lots away, so while they ought to be capable of hurting a Sporting defense that hasn't looked too strong in this competition, they'll likely come unstuck at the back.

Our Shakhtar Donetsk vs Sporting Lisbon Prediction
During the first round of UCL League Phase fixtures, the offensive effort delivered by Shakhtar really was pleasing, and if they can play with the same amount of forward vigor here, then they'll likely do some damage against a Sporting team that conceded three goals against LASK last time out in the UCL.
However, the visitors have scored four in two UCL games, and they're up against a home team that is yet to keep a clean sheet, making a game where both teams score seem a little more likely than the early market predicts.
Our Shakhtar vs Sporting Pick: Both Teams to Score.
