Former player of the national team of Ukraine Volodymyr Mykytyn made a prediction for the return matches of Ukrainian teams in the European cups.
Volodymyr Mykytyn— The absence of Georgiy Sudakov, Kevin, and Dmytro Kryskiv for various reasons will certainly add headaches for Shakhtar’s coach, Arda Turan.
The "miners" will find it difficult in Krakow in the Europa League qualification, as last week Panathinaikos impressed in Athens with their high organization of play and tenacity. If it weren’t for the reliability of goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk, it’s unclear whether the guests would have been able to maintain a draw — 0:0.
I think there will be goals scored in Poland. Stylistically, today’s confrontation will resemble what happened in Athens. Everything will be decided in extra time, where Shakhtar will manage to tip the scales in their favor.
As for the Conference League qualifying match, Paks — Polissia will go without force majeure. A comfortable 3:0 after the first match in Prešov will allow Ruslan Rotan’s team to act from a position of strength and again take advantage of gaps in the Hungarian defense on the flanks due to the tactical arrangement of 3−5−2,” Mykytyn said.
