Artem Frankov: "I foresee a very difficult game for Shakhtar in the match with Oleksandriya"

Well-known journalist and editor-in-chief of Football magazine Artem Frankov has prepared a forecast for the Ukrainian Premier League match between Shakhtar and Oleksandriya.

"Thanks to two home wins by Oleksandriya at the start and Shakhtar's misfire in Rivne, the visitors are ahead, among the leaders who have not lost points, while the champion has fallen behind! However, this does not convince anyone of anything and, despite all Shakhtar's personnel problems, the Donetsk team remains the favourite in the match.

However, I take into account Shakhtar's obvious difficulties and try to predict a very difficult game for them - Ruslan Rotan's team is definitely not going to fall apart, having proved it more than once last season. In my opinion, Shakhtar have not become stronger since then.

My bet: "Oleksandriya to win (+1) at 2.55," said Frankov.
