The former player of the Ukrainian national team Oleg Shelaev made a prediction for the central match of the 11th round of the Ukrainian championship between "Dynamo" and "Shakhtar":
"I rate the chances of the Dynamo players higher. In the last match in the Europa League — against "Roma," their captain Alexander Shovkovsky conducted a rotation of the squad and saw what the nearest reserve is worth, which, by the way, gave a fight to the ambitious Romans.
Nevertheless, it is important that the tournament situation will force the "miners" to play for a win, to take risks, revealing themselves, which the mobile Kyivans can take advantage of in search of the shortest path to the goal.
Perhaps the individual skill of "Shakhtar" players is indeed higher, but the Kyivans have a more balanced squad, they look stronger. I lean towards a victory for "Dynamo" — 2:1," said Shelaev.
