— I have played in Dortmund many times and believe me, it is impossible to be unmotivated at the local stadium "Signal Iduna Park". The packed massive arena literally forces you to showcase all your skills. Even if this match has no tournament significance.
Of course, with the support of their home ground, Borussia's chances of winning are higher. Moreover, if the hosts win, they could aim for a spot in the Round of 16, plus they are a difficult opponent for the "miners". On the other hand, if Shakhtar finishes the group stage of the Champions League on a high note, it will add confidence and motivation in the UPL championship, where Marino Pusic's team needs to catch up with competitors. Therefore, today we can expect an interesting confrontation, where much will depend on who makes the right decisions on the football field faster. I think it will be a high-scoring draw — 2:2,” said Fedetskyi.
