The former player of the national team of Ukraine and Dynamo Taras Mikhalik made a prediction for today’s match at “Arena Lviv” in the 26th round of the Ukrainian championship between Shakhtar and Dynamo:
— In a short period of time, Shakhtar and Dynamo will have to settle their relations twice: on April 27 — in the championship, and on May 14 — in the final of the Ukrainian Cup in Zhytomyr. I’m convinced that the rivals will not focus on one of these confrontations. Therefore, we are expecting real Classics, where no one will hold back.
Each team has its own virtues, but a lot will depend on the commitment of the leaders: Buialskyi, Yarmolenko, Vanat — for the Kyivans, Sudakov, Kevin, Matviyenko — for the miners.
I don’t think the opponents will act with an open front; still, in the center of defense, they have problems. My prediction is 1:1 and then nothing will prevent Dynamo from reclaiming the championship title.
