Vice-champion of Ukraine Shakhtar is playing in the qualifying tournament of the Champions League.
The starting matches of Shakhtar in the season (against Dynamo in the super Cup and the championship of Ukraine with “Star”) showed that the change in tactic does not fundamentally affect everything that Mircea Lucescu was built in 2004. Shakhtar have become more careful behind the Central defenders no longer is the function of the start of the attack. In attack still stable is still a big role Dario Srna, and the second striker (Tyson) essentially performs the functions of another midfielder.
Starting the exam in the domestic arena, Paulo Fonseca has passed – today the Portuguese are waiting for European debut, and if the failure in the super Cup was left without special attention, that in games with “young boys, Shakhtar have no margin for error. “Shakhtar”.
The Shakhtar’s rivals in the new season, managed to play only one match in last Saturday young boys in the opening round of the championship of Switzerland with the score 2:0 was the “St. Gallen”. What to expect from the team at ADI Hutter in Lviv? “Young boys” – physically strong, but skilful players the Swiss are missing. Of course, visitors will bet on the home match on artificial turf. In this respect, Shakhtar’s meeting today will have double the value – you need a good supply before the second game.

Shakhtar: Pyatov – Srna, Ordets, Krivtsov, Ismaily – Rakitskiy, Stepanenko, Fred, Bernard, Taison, Eduardo.
Young boys: Mvogo – Hadergjonaj, von Bergen, Vilotic, Lecjaks – rave, Sanogo, Burton, Soleimani – Hoarau, Gerndt.
