Well-known manager and expert Vyacheslav Zakhovailo shared his prediction for the final, sixth round of the Champions League group stage match between Portuguese Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk, which will take place today in Porto.
- "Porto are in good form at the moment. This match is key for both teams, as the Champions League play-offs are at stake, and there are significant financial bonuses.
I see the Portuguese as favourites in this clash. I'm inclined to believe that Porto will win, although a draw will also suit them. However, there are many nuances. Everything will depend on the psychological state of Shakhtar players. If they manage to cope with their emotions, they may well draw.
Nevertheless, Porto play at home, Porto have a more experienced squad, they have incredible support at the Dragao. They have already beaten Shakhtar Hamburg quite confidently 3-1, so I think that they will win at home with a handicap (-1.5)," Zakhovailo said.
