Football. ua is the announcement of the match of the fifth round of the Champions League between Hoffenheim and Shakhtar.

After two devastating defeats in the paired tours of Manchester City, the team of Paulo Fonseca found herself in a difficult tournament situation.. Now, to get out of the group, the Pitmen need to win in the final two fights.. To do this, given the strength of opponents, will be very difficult, but the miner will undoubtedly fight to the end.

Hoffenheim - Shakhtar Tuesday, November 27, 22:00. Sinsheim, Wirson Rhein-Neckar Arena. The arbitrator - Ivan Kruzhlyak (Slovakia). Live broadcast on TV Football 1.

Who would have thought before the start of the Champions League group stage that the miner would close the table of the quartet F before the final two battles, and with only two credits in the asset. But the situation at the moment is such that far from all depends on the team of Paulo Fonseca. Such different draws in the starting rounds with Hoffenheim and Lyon turned out with a very sad tinge, followed by a double disappointment from the paired matches with the favorite of the Manchester City group. Home 0: 3 were replaced by uniform exit humiliation (6: 0), and now, in order to continue participating in the most prestigious tournament of the Old World, the Miner needs to rely not only on himself, but also on the principles of the English grand. Sir Alex wants to return the favor to Lyon for the starting defeat, and for the “miners” it is very important that the British do it.

Hope for someone, but don't do it yourself. Fonsek perfectly realizes that there is nowhere to retreat, and even went to rare measures for himself. In the match with Lvov (0: 0), the Portuguese provided rest to some of the leading performers and obviously saved Marlos to travel to Germany. In the UPL Shakhtar leads with visible comfort, and now it can afford to transfer forces to the Champions League. Hoffenheim was originally considered almost one hundred percent outsider of the group, but at the moment his chances to take second place look quite real. Judge for yourself, in the final round, the team of Julian Nagelsmann will play with unmotivated Manchester City. True, before there will be a difficult battle at the Wirson Rain-Neckar Arena. Considering the vicissitudes of the Kharkov meeting of Shakhtar with Hoffenheim (fighting 2: 2), it will not be easy for anyone in it ... Hoffenheim last weekend, along with Gerta, gave a real scoring show. The score 3: 3 could well have been bigger, but, in any case, the Nagelsmann team is still the sixth in the table.. By the way, the great but crisis Bavaria is located only one step higher.. Decent neighborhood, isn't it? ! However, it is already obvious that Hoffenheim is far from a sweet bun, and certainly has its own ambitions for the current Euroseason.

In the personnel plan, the mentor Shakhtar "got serious problems". Moraes with Tyson only recently returned to service, Fernando fell for a long time. On the way, Marlos, who is not yet an assistant to the team, but his quite-qualitatively replaces the hard worker Sergey Bolbat. There are holes in the protection. Fonseke will now have to think by whom to replace the injured Jaroslav Rakitsky. There are options, of course, only the role of Yaroslav in the defensive constructions of the Pitmen is too weighty. It is also not clear with the right flank, where one of the three Oleg Danchenko, Bogdan Butko and the station wagon Nikolai Matvienko can be.

Of course, mathematically a miner could be enough for a draw in Germany with the prerequisite for Victoria over Lyon in the final round.. But this is if the French lose Manchester City and Hoffenheim in the last match will not win the same British. In any case, the Pitmen go to Germany exclusively to win, with a hidden hope for the integrity of Guardiola..
