Former defender of "Karpaty" Artem Fedetsky made a prediction for the qualifying match of the Europa League today between the "miners" and the Finnish Ilves, which will take place in Ljubljana.
Artem Fedetsky"The fact that the championship in Finland is in full swing, while our teams are still just finishing preparations for the new season, should not create any problems for "Shakhtar". Nor should the fact that in recent friendlies the "miners" did not always look convincing. It is possible that they lacked freshness since they practiced three times a day, something the leaders of "Shakhtar" have not done before. However, I am convinced that this solid foundation of general physical training in the long term will definitely have an effect.
After all, the class of the "miners" is higher, so I have no doubt that "Shakhtar" will confidently earn a spot in the next round. A substantial lead will be established today in Slovenia, where the "miners" will win by at least two goals," said Fedetsky.
