Igor Tsyganik: "I don't think there will be any tragedy if Shakhtar don't win at Porto"

Famous Ukrainian commentator Ihor Tsyganik has made a prediction for the Porto vs Shakhtar Champions League match.

"We all know that Shakhtar will only be satisfied with a victory at the Dragau, which will take the Donetsk team to the Champions League play-offs. And the Pitmen will definitely play for it, there is no doubt about it.

But the fact that Shakhtar have made it to the European competition is certainly pleasing, it is a very good result for such a young team. So I don't think there will be any tragedy if they don't win against Porto.

Yes, Porto is a much more skilful team, they will play at home with a great support from the stands. "The Dragons will be satisfied with a draw, so they can put pressure on Shakhtar with that.

"Shakhtar play a lot of matches with goals scored both in their own and other teams' goals. The first head-to-head game between the teams was also productive. I'll take a chance on a draw with an exchange of goals in Portugal," Tsyganik said.
