Ukrainian coach Yuriy Virt — about the upcoming final match of the Ukrainian Cup between "Shakhtar" and "Dynamo".
"In this game, I would really like to see a continuation of the drama we witnessed in the recent match between "Shakhtar" and "Dynamo" in the national championship. I hope the teams will delight the fans with intrigue and a lot of goals.
In this pair, I have no favorites, as two equal teams will meet. I understand that "Dynamo" is currently in a better moral state, but this is not the championship; it is the final of the Ukrainian Cup, where everything will be decided in one match. However, in terms of motivation, "Shakhtar" should surpass its opponent, as the "miners" need to somehow rehabilitate for the unsuccessful season.
As for the prediction for this match, I will bet on a high-scoring draw — 2:2, and the fate of the trophy will be decided in a penalty shootout," Virt said.
