Artem Frankov: "Shakhtar is a clear favorite before the match with Dynamo"

The editor-in-chief of Futbol magazine, Artem Frankov, shared his expectations for the match between Shakhtar and Dynamo in the Ukrainian championship.

— I believe that the match between "Dynamo" and "Shakhtar" will be somewhat different than the match between "Miners" and "Real". Be that as it may, I would in no way want to belittle Shakhtar's achievement - it is important, this is a Ukrainian team, they earned a point, but, by and large, Real Madrid played at half their strength in this match. The players of the "cream" did not catch up, avoided moments of contact - this was clearly visible, and to equalize the score, they needed two passes from Kroos to Rudiger. Shakhtar's players analyzed everything, studied it, moreover, they even excluded Vinicius Junior, due to the fact that they did not give him space and turned him into an ordinary technical player on the wing. But Rüdiger's connections turned out to be a surprise, not from the standards, but from the game. I think that Mircea Lucescu will analyze this match very carefully and see what to oppose Shakhtar.

Of course, the "miners" beat "Metalist" "in one goal" with a score of 6:1, the team successfully played with "Real". They are clear favorites for the match against Dynamo. However, in the Ukrainian "classic" previous favoritism means little, said Frankov.
