Famous Ukrainian journalist and commentator Roberto Morales shared his prediction for the Champions League match Shakhtar vs Bayern.
— There are chances even when there seem to be none — this expression comes to mind before such matches. Remember the shattered by coronavirus Shakhtar in the Champions League group against Real Madrid. And then the Miners won twice, Dentinho rose from the ashes and scored, it all came together into a wonderful picture. Or we can recall the not so distant victory of Donetsk over Barcelona. That is, different things happen, but from the standpoint of pragmatic analysis, good scenarios for Shakhtar against the current Bayern are not visible.
Victories over Zorya (3:1), Inhulets (6:0), Vorskla (3:1) are a must for the current champion of Ukraine. But a draw with Rukh and a loss to PSV (2:3, the issue here isn’t the fact of the loss, but the scenario) are just a continuation of bad trends.
After the home victory over PSG (1:0), the Munich team had two very difficult matches against their main domestic competitors. In Dortmund, they ended up with a 1:1 draw, but in Leverkusen, in a cup match, they lost 0:1 to Xabi Alonso’s team. After that, Vincent Kompany's team defeated Heidenheim, 4:2. Bayern currently has eight injured players. In particular, Gnabry, Kane, Palinha, Neuer, Stanisic, and in the meantime, the goal of getting into the top eight remains (the team is currently thirteenth). The bet is on a Munich victory and goals from both teams, Morales said.
