Shakhtar sporting director Dario Srna shared his expectations for his club's Champions League match against Bologna.
"Bologna are strong, although they have not achieved outstanding results at this point in the season - a bit like us with two defeats in 5 matches. However, they will be making their Champions League debut. We will have a 50% chance of winning. We don't care that Bologna had a bad start to the championship, the match against us is historic for them.
There are a lot of young people here, even if we have experience in Europe. However, we will do our best. In the last match, I saw a very good performance from Bondarenko, who scored a hat-trick, as well as Eginaldo, Kevin and Sikan. But in the Champions League, everything changes: in Europe, every mistake matters, they pay for it, it changes the result," Srna was quoted as saying by Vzbirna telegram channel, citing La Gazzetta dello Sport.
