Shakhtar Donetsk vs Breidablik Prediction and Betting Tips | November 6th 2025

Shakhtar Donetsk will go up against Breidablik at the Henryk Reyman Municipal Stadium on Thursday in the third round of the 2025-26 UEFA Europa Conference League campaign. The hosts will be keen to return to winning ways after dropping points last time out to get a step closer towards qualification for the next round.

Shakhtar were disappointed to concede in the dying seconds of their second-round match against Polish giant Legia Warsaw as they fell to a 2-1 defeat after picking up maximum points in the opening round against Aberdeen. The Ukrainian side sit in 17th place in the Conference League table and will be focused on getting maximum points in their remaining four games to ensure progress into the knockout rounds.

Breidablik, on the other hand, have not picked up a win yet in the Conference League this season, recording a loss and a draw from their opening two games and will be desperate to put up a good performance on Thursday to keep their chances of achieving at least the knockout playoffs.

The Icelandic side squandered a plethora of chances, including a penalty kick, and had to settle for a single point in their goalless draw with Finnish side KuPS last time out. They will need to make significant improvements in their upcoming games to avoid falling even lower in the table.
