Former Ukraine goalkeeper Rustam Khudzhamov shared his expectations for Saturday's Dynamo vs Shakhtar match.
Rustam Khudzhamov- "Shakhtar is definitely the favorite, the Pitmen are playing the league more evenly. "Dynamo is in a very difficult situation right now, first of all, morally. Kyiv's problems began at the beginning of the championship, so I will give Shakhtar the advantage in the Classic. Shakhtar's strength is that they can pull out a match with the help of individuals. "The Miners try to play for victory in every match. Shakhtar's disadvantage is that they don't have many experienced players who can achieve results with less nervousness. But this is great for young players, they go through such battles and grow faster.
I don't understand how Dynamo can beat Shakhtar. They even had problems with Rukh, which has half a squad of young players, and they played on equal terms with Kyiv. Perhaps Dynamo will succeed due to their character and effort, but if they don't have internal confidence in themselves and their partners, nothing good will happen. Why is Dynamo failing the season? At the beginning of the season, the Kyiv team had a lot of exhibition matches and therefore the peak of their form was slightly disrupted. It is hard to say what is happening with Dynamo now. It could be anything. Perhaps the players have stopped believing in themselves," Khudzhamov said.
