Igor Tsyganik: "Shakhtar definitely need a win. Losing points for the second time in a row will be critical for the Miners"

Famous Ukrainian journalist and commentator Ihor Tsyganik has made a prediction for the match between Shakhtar and Oleksandriya in the 3rd round of the Ukrainian Premier League.

"Shakhtar lost important points against Veres (1-1) and then played a friendly charity match against Tottenham in London (1-5).

Now, Patrick van Leeuwen's men will face a serious test against Oleksandriya. "Oleksandriya started the UPL with two consecutive victories over Kryvbas (1-0) and Metalist 1925 (1-0), and did not concede in these meetings.

"Shakhtar definitely need a win. Losing points for the second time in a row will be critical for the Miners. That's why I propose to bet on a 2-0 victory for Donetsk," said Tsyganik.
