Why Shakhtar Will Win 1. Miner played. Miners in the offseason did not arrange any global sales and purchases - said Khocholava and Petryaka. But it is, rather, perspective players. And not the fact that they will be able to give the team something more than create depth and competition. Therefore, the basic composition of the Miner will not be absolutely different from the past season.
Just like it will not be different from the past seasonal and tactical arrangement of Gornyakov. In contrast to Dynamo, which played a model with two forwards. Let this second and will, most likely, Garmash, acting from the depths.
Psychological moment. Due to the fact that in the season 2016/2017 Shakhtar won with a big advantage (13 points) the championship and became the owner of the cup, there is no pressure over them. Nobody says to them "win anything". Kievans also understand that, having lost in the Super Cup, they will give a bad start to coach coach Khatskevich as head coach of Dynamo. Therefore, the responsibility for white-blue is higher, and this rarely has a positive effect.
Scenario of the game. There is a high probability that Dynamo can fall into the trap, which they themselves will create. Khatskevich said that his team will act aggressively and this is evident even without regard to the statements of the coach. It is clear that even at a subconscious level, with a new coach, the players of the Kiev team will try to act from the position of strength, the first number. Another question is that for Shakhtar such rivals are a "sweet bun", it is more difficult for them with teams that know how to make a game viscous, with a minimum of free zones. Dynamo, most likely, on emotions will go actively forward and may well be caught on a counterattack. Moreover, in the rivalry "the flanks of midfield Shakhtar - against the flanks of the defense of Dynamo", the advantage is clearly on the side of Gornyakov. This, by the way, is conditioned and always faded game Yarmolenko in matches with the Miner - he lacks behind the defender, who would provide a reliable rear and created the foundation for the successful attacking game of Andrew. In general, the "fires", just from the side of the defensive orders of Dynamo.
Why will win Dynamo 1. We have already talked about the fact that the people of Kiev will go much more forward and can get caught up in a counterattack. But there is one option that can play in favor of Dynamo. It's about fast goal. If the Dynamo quickly scores, it will allow them not only to get a psychological advantage, but also to reduce the speed, giving the opportunity to go ahead already Shakhtar, which will create the prerequisites for already their counterattacks.
Khatskevich at the training camp tried to distribute responsibility for the result more evenly, removing the burden from Yarmolenko. Accordingly, now the range of tasks for the defense of the Miner will expand. If earlier Yarmolenko had enough to cover, and most of the problems were leveled, now (at least so now Khatskevich's idea is seen), much more threats will come from the center, where Garmash will act as the second striker under Mbokani.
After the departure of Mbokani and Theodorechik, Dynamo did not have a forward who could successfully and most importantly act on a regular basis with transfers from the flanks and long horsebacks that could trite the defense. With the return of Mbokani appeared multifunctional striker, which is good both below and above, which significantly expands the range of actions in the attack. Now read the development of Dynamo attacks will not be so easy.
In addition, if necessary, Khatskevich will always be able to play with two forwards. And, in this case, we do not mean Garmash, who is not a striker by his playing characteristics, but, for example, Besedin. Artem in a game manner differs from Mbokani and, being on the field at the same time, this duo could create a very serious pressure on the Gornyakov gates, which at the training sessions were clearly not impressed by their actions in defense.
Football. Ua.
