Former Shakhtar striker Viktor Grachev analyzed the situation ahead of the Shakhtar vs Feyenoord Europa League last-16 match.
Viktor Grachev"A year ago, Shakhtar essentially became a new team with a new head coach, who managed not only to put on a quality game with young players in the squad in a short time, but also to achieve good results both in the domestic arena and in Europe.
The recent matches against Minaj and Metalist 1925 have demonstrated that Shakhtar are head and shoulders above their opponents.
There is no doubt that Shakhtar will have a tough time in the competition with Feyenoord. Rotterdam finally managed to put Ajax to the test in the Dutch league. But Rennes is also in the group of leaders in France, but this team has already left the European Cup competition.
I like the defense of the Miners now, so I hope that Anatoliy Trubin will keep his goal locked, and the Orange and Blacks will succeed in attacking - I'm betting on 2-0," Grachev said.
