Well-known manager and expert Vyacheslav Zakhovaylo shared his prediction for the match of the 1st round of the Champions League group stage between German RB Leipzig and Donetsk Shakhtar, which will take place today in Leipzig.
“Shakhtar has formed a new team, it is not fully played. However, the new Shakhtar is young and quite promising.
At the same time, RB Leipzig is staffed with completely different performers, with a different approach, the team is in a completely different situation.
Therefore, if the Pitmen draw away, it will be a miracle. But I don't believe in miracles. I think that the Germans will win with a handicap (-1.5).
The level of the Ukrainian championship has dipped a lot for objective reasons. Shakhtar lost their legionnaires. We have what we have,” Zakhovailo said.
