Renowned manager and expert Vyacheslav Zakhovailo has made a prediction for the Champions League group stage match between Shakhtar and Antwerp.
- Despite the fact that Shakhtar are favourites with the bookmakers, I predict a difficult match for the Pitmen. We've already seen Marino Pushic's team lose to Dnipro-1 (1-3) and fail to beat Polissia (0-0), showing an unconvincing performance.
I assume that the game will be played in a positional struggle. "Antwerp will play in a deep block. The Belgians need a win, and if they can score first, then Shakhtar will have to throw everything at it to get back into the game. In my forecast, I'll try to take a chance and bet on a draw," the expert said.
