Ihor Tsyhanik, a commentator for 1+1 media, has made a prediction for the Champions League group stage match between Antwerp and Shakhtar in the 2nd round.
"I would call this match not just a head-to-head, but a kind of 'fight for life' in the group. Each team, after defeats in the opening rounds, will strive to rehabilitate today in order to have a tournament interest in the future.
A draw today does not really give anything to either team, they have to play exclusively for victory. The teams must demonstrate all their best qualities, because Antwerp and Shakhtar have not won their last league games.
I want to take a chance and bet on Shakhtar to win in Belgium with an exact score of 2-1. "The Miners play quite attacking football, and the Belgians will also be keen to finally get a positive result. But I think the Ukrainian champion can count on a positive result due to their experience," Tsyganik said.
