I mean, not to lose. After all, in terms of teamwork and technical preparation, the “miners” do not lag behind, the other matter is execution skill, where the advantage lies with the German giant. That’s why much will depend on how well the nominal hosts will utilize goal-scoring chances.
There will be few, but they will definitely exist. I am convinced that there will be no way around goals in Gelsenkirchen, and I won't be surprised if “Shakhtar” earns an important point,” said Pukanich.
