Yuriy Virt: "The winner of the pair Feyenoord - Shakhtar will be determined in a penalty shootout.

Yuriy Wirth, head coach of Veresa Rivne, shared his forecast for the first match of the Europa League 1/8 finals between the Dutch Feyenoord and Shakhtar Donetsk to be held today in Rotterdam. Recall that the first meeting between the rivals ended in a draw, 1-1.

"A difficult match I expect. But I believe in Shakhtar. I hope that all the mistakes made in the first meeting have been taken into account by the coaching staff.

The Pitmen will pay more attention to defense and will be sharper in attack. I think it will be a draw again (1-1), and then there will be extra time and a penalty shootout. All our hopes will be placed on Trubin, his skills. The quarterfinals should take place with Shakhtar," Wirth said.
