In Arda Turan, there are much stronger performers than those playing for Shamrock Rovers, with all due respect to the Irish team. I have no doubt that Shakhtar will win in Dublin. Currently, the players of the Donetsk team have gained a lot of confidence and need to continue developing in this direction.
Shakhtar is on a roll right now. 13 goals in two games are the best evidence of this, and I think they should continue in the same spirit in the Conference League.
Frankly speaking, in my opinion, Shamrock Rovers are the level of Obolon. I don’t even know what should happen for Shakhtar not to win in Ireland unless Turan plays the third squad.
What the lineup of Shakhtar will be is for the coach to decide, but... Personally, I almost never changed a winning eleven. I don’t see any sense in making changes unless minimal ones if there is a result, players are in form, scoring, the team is on a roll and dazzling — I’d even put it like that.
There was already one unsuccessful experiment in the Conference League that Turan made, and that’s probably enough (referring to the defeat by the Polish Legia, 1:2, — ed.)..
The Donetsk team must win. The motivation for Shakhtar players should be all right because three points practically guarantee their passage to the Conference League playoffs.
As for the prediction for the game with Shamrock Rovers, in my opinion, Shakhtar will win by a margin of two goals,' said Markevych.
