Former player of the Ukraine national team and "Shakhtar" Vladimir Mykytyn evaluated the chances of the "miners" for victory in the next match of the group stage of the Champions League against the Swiss "Young Boys":
"If in the first three rounds the majority of experts favored Shakhtar’s opponents, today the Ukrainian club needs to earn their points. Nevertheless, "Young Boys" falls short in class.
Since both teams have yet to impress in the most prestigious continental tournament, they will focus on finding the shortest paths to the goal to secure such valuable points. I believe that in an exchange of blows, the "miners" will be more accurate, although "Young Boys" are among those teams that attack a lot but score little, and I wouldn’t want the guests to correct their aim today.
I am confident that the fans in Gelsenkirchen will not be bored. At this point in the European cup battles, "Shakhtar" has a noticeable advantage over clubs from Switzerland," said Mykytyn.
