"It will be difficult for Shakhtar. They went through this stretch in the Champions League group quite seriously, surprising many. Too much effort was spent. Even the last match against "Alexandria" in the UPL showed serious fatigue of "Miners".
It gets harder and harder from match to match. The schedules are very tight these days, with teams playing many matches in a short period of time. Today, everything is simple for Shakhtar: if they win, they enter the playoffs of the Champions League, if they don't win, they are out of the playoffs of the Europa League.
I expect scored goals from this confrontation. Both "Shakhtar" and "RB Leipzig" score consistently in the group, as well as concede. I'll bet on an exchange of goals," Tsyganyk said.
