Igor Tsyganyk: "I would venture to suggest that Shakhtar will score against RB Leipzig"

Well-known Ukrainian TV presenter Igor Tsyganyk 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.

“RB Leipzig have only two wins in six matches at the start of the season. At the same time, Shakhtar won twice and drew once in the Ukrainian Premier League.

It will not be easy for the Pitmen to start in the Champions League now. For many, this will generally be a start at that level. And immediately a great responsibility will fall on their shoulders.

I have a great hope that Igor Jovichevich (head coach of Shakhtar, — ed.) will find special emotions in order to bring the wards to the desired level.

RB Leipzig is a German car. It will be very difficult for Shakhtar. In my opinion, the game will be quite aggressive. I cannot say that the Pitmen have enough players who can impose a power struggle.

I would venture to suggest that Shakhtar will score on the road. I didn’t really want to bet on the result, but I predict that RB Leipzig will win in the end, ”said Tsyganik.
