Football. ua presents the announcement of the 12th round between Shakhtar and Minai.

Minaj will meet Shakhtar for the first time and will try to score points in this confrontation.

Shakhtar - Minaj Saturday, December 5, 17:00. NSC Olimpiyskiy, Kiev. Maxim Kozyryatskiy - Chief Arbiter of the Meeting. Broadcast on Football 2 TV channel.

Shakhtar Donetsk made a real sensation in mid-week in the 5th round of the Champions League by beating Real Madrid 2-0 in Kiev. This victory of the Pitmen reshuffled the Champions League group in such a way that before the last round, each team has the opportunity to advance further to the Champions League and remain out.

This victory, of course, took a lot of strength from the champion of Ukraine, but the morale of the Kashtru team is now at a good level. Taking into account the tournament situation and the lag behind Dynamo, Shakhtar cannot be irresponsible about the match against Minay, but it is not worth it to dissemble that all the Pitmen's thoughts will be directed towards the match against the debutant of the Premier League..

Shakhtar will play the final decisive away match against Inter next week. It will be there that it will become known whether Shakhtar will take part in European competition in the spring part of the season. It is absolutely logical that all the thoughts of Shakhtar's players will be occupied with that particular match, and therefore, for the game against Minai, it is still worth waiting for a heavily modified squad, where those who have not appeared on the football field for a long time will get playing practice..

How much the absence of key performers will help Minai in the upcoming meeting? It's hard enough to answer this question..

After all, the quality of the Shakhtar reservists is still higher than the main players in Minay. Only maximum dedication, discipline in defense and luck can help Minai to cling to points in this fight. It is on this that Vasily Kobin, who spent most of his playing career in Shakhtar, will most likely bet..

Statistics of personal confrontations Teams will meet each other for the first time.
