Famous Ukrainian journalist and commentator Igor Tsyganik has made a prediction for the Champions League main stage match between Bologna and Shakhtar.
- Shakhtar have always had a difficult time playing against Italian teams. "Bologna will be making their debut in the Champions League group stage, but they are a well-coordinated, strong team that controls the ball well.
I expect a difficult trip for the Miners. Nevertheless, the extremely confident 5-2 victory over Karpaty in the UPL should give Marino Pušić's team confidence in their own abilities. The new format of the tournament allows teams to allocate their strength to each opponent, so for Shakhtar, in my opinion, a draw would be a good result on the field of Bologna.
I think Shakhtar will be able to score away from home. I'll bet on the Miners' goal, I'll risk predicting a draw at the Stadio Renato Dall'Arra," Tsyganik said.
