Former midfielder of the Ukrainian national team Oleg Shelaev named the favorites of the upcoming championship of Ukraine.
“Of the teams that I saw, Dynamo is the most powerful unit. Shakhtar, Dnipro-1 and Vorskla follow, they will fight for the second place. Zorya is also in this cohort, but so far the performance of the Luhansk team raises the most questions.
As for Shakhtar, I suppose that the Pitmen can still strengthen with someone before the transfer window closes. Plus, Traore, who should recover soon, will help them. Also, Shakhtar has performers in attack, who can fill in the gaps in defense due to skill and speed. But we are talking about the Ukrainian championship, and it will be hard for them in the Champions League," Shelaev said.
