See the Shakhtar Donetsk vs RB Leipzig odds and best bets for UCL Matchday 6
Both teams can qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League in Shakhtar Donetsk vs RB Leipzig on Wednesday.
In-form Leipzig can finish on top of Group F if they win and Real Madrid fail to beat Celtic.
Meanwhile, Shakhtar Donetsk could claim second place in the table with a victory.
Although it would then be level on nine points with RB Leipzig, the Ukraine side would progress because of their head-to-head record against the Germans in the section.
That follows its 4-1 away win against RB Leipzig on Matchday 1.
The match will take place in Warsaw, Poland because of the war in Ukraine – with the UCL final in Istanbul next June.

*Statistics from UCL 2022-23.
In UCL Group F, RB Leipzig has made a good recovery after losing its opening two games.
Following that, it has recorded three straight victories – with an impressive 3-2 defeat of Real Madrid last week at home improving the Germans’ chances of winning the section.
Meanwhile, Shakhtar Donetsk has not won since its opening night defeat of RB Leipzig.
Subsequently, it has drawn three times and lost once – with a 1-1 draw taking place away against Celtic last week ahead of this Shakhtar Donetsk vs RB Leipzig.

Shakhtar is currently in second place after six wins and two draws so far.
Over/Under & Spread
RB Leipzig has scored an impressive 13 times during the current five-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga – conceding six times.
It has scored nine times in the UCL but has conceded the same amount.
Shakhtar Donetsk has conceded in every UCL match – but has only allowed in more than one goal on one occasion.
However, both sides will need to be adventurous here with two qualification spots potentially on offer.
So the total goals prop offer for there to be four goals or more looks promising at +155 (Over 3.5).
Among the spread offers, RB Leipzig is priced at +120 to win by two goals (Asian Handicap -1.25).
Meanwhile, underdog Shakhtar Donetsk is rated at +140 simply to win or draw (Asian Handicap +0.5).
Christopher Nkunku to Score Odds
French forward Christopher Nkunku has scored in his last three appearances for RB Leipzig in all competitions.
He has a total of 13 goals this season – and is a decently-priced favorite to score in Shakhtar Donetsk vs RB Leipzig at +125.
Just as attractive are the odds of +350 for Nkunku to be the first or last scorer.
Timo Werner has scored in RB Leipzig’s last two UCL outings and is the second favorite to hit the net in Warsaw at +140.
He has four Bundesliga goals so far and is priced at +400 to be the first or last scorer in the match.
Lassina Traore is the highest-placed Shakhtar Donestk player among the goalscoring odds in seventh place.
With one goal in five UCL appearances this season, he is priced at +260 to get on the scoresheet in Shakhtar Donetsk vs RB Leipzig.
