What he thinks about the Celtic vs Shakhtar Champions League match with the site "Team 1 " shared the former midfielder of the national team of Ukraine Oleg Shelaev.
"Based on the tournament schedule, we all understand that this will be a game for Shakhtar's chance to continue the fight for second place in the group. It will be an away game against a motivated opponent with strong support from the stands, so it will be a very difficult match for the miners. At the same time, it should be understood that for Celtic this is the last chance to get hold of Eurospring, the hosts only need a victory.
On the eve of such matches, we all try to guess how the game will develop, predict the outcome of the meeting... Therefore, based on what we saw in the first face-to-face duel between Shakhtar and Celtic, we can say that the Scots have a balanced team, and if the miners will sit low, this will be a gift for Celtic as the Brits like to operate through wing passes. But another thing is how the Donetsk people will be able to use their counterplay. We see a number of factors in favor of the hosts, but Shakhtar also have their trump cards, the main thing is to use them correctly.
And as for the result of the upcoming game, I am inclined to the fact that the match will end in a draw - 1:1," Shelaev said.
