Famous Ukrainian TV presenter Igor Tsyganik shared his prediction for the first match of the 2nd qualifying round of the Champions League between Dnipro-1 and Greek Panathinaikos, which will be held today in Kosice.
Igor Tsyganik"With these matches Dnipro-1 will debut in the Champions League qualification. The first game against Panathinaikos will be a very difficult test for Oleksandr Kucher's team.
The Greeks have quite a strong and well-played team, a good human resource, there are players familiar to us from Dynamo and Shakhtar - Verbich and Bernard. "Panathinaikos" is good at working with the ball, owning the initiative on the field.
But it should also be noted that you can and should play against the Greeks. I think the experience of Dnipro-1 players will allow them to show good football in the first match.
I will risk assuming that there will be a draw in this confrontation. I will also bet on Artem Dovbik's goal and the exact score 1:1," said Tsyganik.
