Renowned Ukrainian coach Igor Zhabchenko has shared his prediction for the first leg of the Europa League 1/16 finals between Shakhtar Donetsk and French side Rennes today in Warsaw.
- "It will be difficult for Shakhtar. Firstly, Mudryk is gone, and with him and without him they are two different teams. Secondly, the Ukrainian league has not yet started, and the results of friendly games do not add optimism.
The situation is completely different for Rennes - the team is in condition, in a good physical form, it plays good press. And the fact that they played poorly in recent matches in the domestic league... Do not pay attention to it, because European Cups is a different matter.
I think the French will win, I predict the scoreline of 0-2," FootballBoom quoted Zhabchenko as saying.
С чем не соглашусь, что уход Мудрика будет большой проблемой, найдут способ решить.
