As part of a new round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Quartet H faces a battle between Belgian Antwerp and Donetsk Shakhtar, which will take place at the Boseil Stadium near Antwerp.

ANTWERP – MINER

WEDNESDAY 4TH EVEN, 7:45 PM. BOSAIL STADIUM, ANTWERP. CHIEF ARBITRATOR – RADE OBRENOVIC (SLOVENIA). LIVE BROADCAST ON MEGOGO

The venerable champions of Ukraine recently opted for the bitter group stage of the most important club tournament of the Old World, so now they are trying to correct the situation. For whom in Patrick van Leeuwen’s team there will not be so many opportunities – except for the away match against Belgian Antwerp, but in addition to the victory, the “Girniki” is unlikely to be dominated by any other result.

Like their head coach, their performance in the domestic arena will soon provoke the leadership of the “Girniki”, which seems to be in the plan for the further training of the Dutch fach. Van Leeuwen plans to impose his role in football on the ‘orange-black’ players, but they will not be able to manage the process of starting a stable series of results in the longer term, and in a club with a high level of power, they will not do that either. can tolerate someone for much longer.

Sportish.co partner, Favbet Company, appreciates that his old favorite is Mark van Bommel. For example, Antwerp’s victory is assessed by a coefficient of 1.93, while Shakhtar’s potential success is assessed by a coefficient of 4.35. The probability of a draw is represented by a coefficient of 3.90.

It was unlikely that Axis and the final UPL match against Poltava Vorsk last weekend would be appreciated by any of Shakhtar’s patients. The great Lviv Rukh was able to stream the crooked Kryvbas so that Yuriy Vernydub’s team was ahead of the “Hirniks” at the tournament table, which would have further strengthened the negative impact of the already important defeat (1:2). The problem is also that such a result was due to the key match in the European arena, which means that the Donetsk team will have to wait until the spring part of one of the previous tournaments.

Ozhe, Belgian Antwerp. Shakhtar’s current rivals have a 150-year history of performances on their shoulders, but their club museum doesn’t literally jump out into the city’s sights. With only the stones left, the “Chervoni” began to move to the forefront in the Belgian championship and completed the small campaign to achieve the “golden double”. And then the Greek AEK qualified for the Champions League.

But the beginning of appearances in the group stage for Mark van Bommel’s team (that is, the same) was not far away. They visited the Catalan Barcelona and the ice took their legs (0:5). It was a tough integrity test that Antwerp failed to pass, after which the team clearly began to experience a deterioration in playing conditions.

Three matches in the domestic arena – three draws, no goals scored (or no goals conceded) and a significant improvement in the position on the tournament table. Van Bommel’s footballers are going to be fifth offensively to Brugge and Genk, but the Belgian championship is still on the table, which means there are some drawn results for the teams due to the transition zone of the tables and my eyes are just tired. But these are their internal stories, which statistically do not help us.

The last time Antwerp Grav was reorganized at the level of the main club, if again there was no group stage – in the 1957/58 season, when the Belgians defeated Real Madrid in the 1/8 finals with a whole bunch of goals two games ( 1:8). Afterwards, the Reds’ success in the international arena was renewed by their participation in the 2021/22 UEFA European League after their failure in the group stage in the company of Olympiacos, Fenerbahçe and Eintracht. And then there will be another river break. Chantly, to get that same ‘take’.

Internationally there is little evidence of the superniks, but Mark van Bommel’s team has the potential to become known at high-level competitions. Captain Toby Alderweireld is in charge of Antwerp, while Nina Ricci De Laat and healthy striker Vincent Janssen take care of the injuries.

Among the Vikonavians there are also refugees from the sick Cidera Jejuke and Girano Kerk in the attacking line, the rest of the time Michel-Ange Balikwisha is in charge of them, and in the center of the field there is an increasing number of players add Jürgen Ekkelenkamp and Arthur Vermeeren.

The young age of the application is taken into account – the typical rice is “chervonikh”, among other things, beer and Shakhtar are far from good in this plan. Based on the total turnover of the Vikonavians, the teams are quite comparable: 98.2 million euros for the Belgians versus 106.6 million euros for the Donetsk team, recently entering the domestic arena without showing any sign of musing between these teams cause. In such situations there is nothing to control other than a fried fight.
