Re: ⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread -- 2024/25 | Winner: Tottenham Hotspur
Shakhtar Donetsk cut my bet yesterday. I was carried away by Shakhtar Donetsk's dominance against Ilves in their first leg, and it made me play Shakhtar Donetsk to win against Ilves at home without thinking twice. It was after I played Shakhtar Donetsk to win Ilves that I realized the game could likely end in a draw and there was no cashout option because I used a voucher to play the bet.
So sorry to hear that, mate.But considering their dominance in League One, it's understandable. It's perfectly normal to be so confident about a win in the second leg. But it turns out, all games and bets carry risks. Perhaps because they already won big with a 6-0 aggregate, they didn't want to push too hard against the opposition, keeping their squad fit.
But Shakhtar Donetsk doesn't seem to be using their full first-tier squad. I'm a bit unfamiliar with their lineup, but judging by this picture, it's quite different:
