Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Bodod will look to clinch top position in Group C when they take on Zorya at Slavutych-Arena on Thursday evening. Bodo are eyeing their first away win of the process, and they are surely capable of beating Zorya, who have nothing to play for in the last group game. Important midfielder Ulrik Saltnes, who misses the CSKA Sofia game with injury, is back to contention, while Sondre Sorli remains in the recovery room.
Zorya, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Roma in their last group match. Considering that the Ukrainians head into Thursday’s clash with the lack of motivation, we are tempted to put our money on the Norwegian champions. Shevchenko and Lunyov continue to miss out for the hosts. Both players are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Mykyta Shevchenko ):
Born in Horlivka, Ukraine on January 26, Mykyta Shevchenko is a goalkeeper who plays for Zorya Luhansk in the Ukraine Premier League. Shevchenko has nothing to do with the legendary Ukrainian footballer, and, unlikely Andriy, he has yet to represent the national team on the international stage.
Mykyta Shevchenko started his club career at Shakhtar Donetsk, but he did not see too many game actions with the Miners. Following loan spells with Illichivets Mariupol, Zorya Luhansk, and Karpaty Lvivi, he signing a permanent deal with Zorya. The 187-cm-tall shot-stopper has three caps with the Ukraine U21 team, while making six appearances with the U19 team.
Speaking of his achievements at the club level, Mykyta Shevchenko won the Ukraine Premier League with Shaktar Donetsk on three occasions (2012/13, 2016/17, 2017/18). Mykyta’s preferred foot is right and his contract with Zorya Luhansk should expire in June, 2021.
