The well-known Ukrainian journalist and commentator Roberto Morales prepared a forecast for the match of the group stage of the Champions League "Celtic" - "Shakhtar".
"For the people of Donetsk, the match is key in all aspects. According to its results, you can win a ticket to the European Cup playoffs, you can become a favorite in the showdown for the second ticket to the Champions League playoffs, and you can lose a lot.
The Scots in general made a very positive impression in terms of the structure of the game, but Angelos Postecoglou's team looks hostage to its game principles - it is active, interesting, but does not know how to be flexible. In the first match of these rivals, "Celtic" was stronger than "Shakhtar" and did not win. This is where I see the chances of Igor Jovičevych's team to be more cunning than the opponent and adapt to him. Moreover, the people of Donetsk deliberately prepared for the match and did not have a match in the UPL, which in the conditions of the current tough calendars gives a certain handicap," Morales is confident.
