The renowned Ukrainian coach Yuriy VIRT made a prediction for the Champions League match between Shakhtar and Bayern, which will take place on December 10 in Gelsenkirchen:
«Both teams desperately need points: Bayern to break into the top eight, and the miners to avoid dropping out early from the distance. Therefore, there will be a lot of struggle, and much will depend on who has the advantage in duels. Perhaps, the individual skill is indeed higher among the players of the German giant, but thanks to their attitude, compactness of actions, and discipline, the nominal hosts can complicate life for the 'star' squad of the Munich team.
And we should not underestimate the capabilities of the 'miners', remember how they put up a fight against the Dutch PSV in the previous round and only a senseless expulsion of the defender canceled everything at the end of the confrontation.
Therefore, in my opinion, it will be a match rich in goals and it will end in a draw— 2:2», — said VIRT.
