On August 17, the first match of the Champions League play-off round will take place, in which Monaco will play Shakhtar Donetsk on their own field. The forecast for this fight is given by the well-known commentator Alexey Andronov.
The match between the Monegasques and the Donetsk team is of quite high interest in Russia, taking into account the fact that Alexander Golovin is playing for the French club, to whom the new head coach of the Russian national team Valery Karpin is going to go for a conversation the other day.
Despite the fact that Shakhtar is an experienced team, accustomed to playing in the Champions League at the group stage, the opportunities of the Monegasques are great. The Miners have already managed to lose the home match of Alexandria on the domestic arena due to problems primarily in defense.
According to Andronov, bookmakers offer a very good coefficient for the victory of Monaco, which should not be neglected.
