Indisputably, this match is one of the central ones. Both of the teams are willing to play in euro cups, therefore we can expect a great battle in the game. According to the tournament rules, the winner will get a place in euro cups for the next season.
Metallurg (Donezk):
In the middle of the week we will see the game of two teams from the same city. In the last round the team showed us an example of a good game against the leader of the championship - Dinamo (Kiev). Consequently, Dinamo, lost the first row in the championship. The ground in Ukraine is still covered with a snow, although specialists say that the football pitch should be ready for the game. We expect that the stadium will be full of football fans.
Shakhter (Donezk):
Luchesky has got some problems with his staff, Fernandinho and Adriano received too many yellow cards. There are some damaged players also. Kobina and Rac are traumatized and will not play in the match. Last year the team could not get this cup and lost 1-0 to Vorskla in the final. Therefore the team will have an outstanding desire to return this cup to Donezk.
The match will take place on March 24, 2010 at 18.00 (local time) at the Metallurg stadium. The best odd is 1.35 for Shakhter
