Renowned manager and expert Vyacheslav Zakhovaylo shared his forecast for the central match of the 22nd matchday of the Ukrainian championship between Kyiv "Dynamo" and Donetsk "Shakhtar", which will be held tomorrow in the capital.
Vyacheslav Zakhovailo"The teams approach this match with different mood, in different physical and moral forms. But "classic" is a derby, where everyone strives to show, each team will give 100%, no one will save strength. "The classic has always been and will always be the No.1 event in the Ukrainian soccer, no matter where Dynamo and Shakhtar stand.
If we evaluate the teams' chances realistically, it is not for nothing that Shakhtar are regarded as the favourites of the encounter. Dynamo has enough staffing losses, as well as there are nuances with the organization of the game, there are internal problems in the team - it is noticeable in the game of Kyiv.
Sometimes Dynamo plays very nervously, makes too many mistakes, the psychological background is not at its highest. The reasons may be different, but in the "classic" Kyiv must be set up seriously.
Now Dynamo are having a forced change of generations. Shakhtar also have enough young players, but as a team they look stronger. Still, I expect an interesting fight in the derby, where I lean toward a draw," said Zakhovailo.
