Former Ukraine national team player Oleg Shelaev spoke about what he expects from tomorrow’s match of the main stage of the Champions League between Dutch PSV and Donetsk Shakhtar.
"Since the opponents are close to each other in the standings, as they say, it will be a battle for six points. I assess the chances as 70 to 30 in favor of PSV.
I follow the Dutch championship, and PSV’s play makes a strong impression. Moreover, the rivalry will take place in Eindhoven, where the hosts will have strong fan support.
PSV is an aggressive team, its players are strong in duels, and they have active flanks. It will be difficult for Shakhtar to withstand the pressure from the opponent. However, it is not excluded that the miners may benefit from quick counterattacks and home-prepared set pieces," said Shelaev.
