What shaped the view
- + There should be transition moments, but quarter-final game state still keeps this close rather than one-way.
- + AZ keep a full 3-4-3, while Shakhtar go 4-1-4-1 with a single pivot and leave Traoré/Bondarenko on the bench.
- + The straight away prices are a bit aggressive; +0.25 is the cleaner way to buy a very live draw.

Why it made the board
AZ’s 3-4-3 matches Shakhtar’s width and gives them a spare centre-back against the lone striker, while Shakhtar’s XI looks lighter through the middle with only one holder. In a near-even market, the away quarter-ball is the better protection angle.
Main risk
Odds Trap: Main danger is that this is an away-handicap trap: Shakhtar are still favoured, and if their wide players pin AZ’s wing-backs back the home side can take over, especially after bench changes.
