Prediction: 1-1
Ukraine
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at PGE Narodowy when Poland and Ukraine go head to head in a friendly international on Friday. The Poles booked their place at the EURO 2024 finals by beating Wales on penalties and, no doubt, they have big ambitions for the showpiece tournament in Germany. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be experienced striker Robert Lewandowski, who has netted 82 goals in 148 appearances for the Poland national team. Injured Newcastle wing-back Matty Cash has been omitted.
Serhiy Rebrov’s troops, on the other hand, did well to hold star-studded Germany to a goalless draw in Nurnberg. Ukraine and Poland seem to be evenly matched at the moment and we predict that they are going to share the spoils in Friday’s friendly. All Dovbyk, Brazhko, and Zubkov are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, speaking of the away team.
Highlighted Player (Viktor Tsygankov):
Viktor Tsygankov is a Ukrainian footballer who plays for Dynamo Kiev. Tsygankov is a product of Nyva Vinnytsia football school, but in 2011 he moved to Dynamo Kiev at the age of 14. Despite being born in Nahariya, Israel on November 15, 1997, Viktor Tsygankov represents Ukraine at senior level.
The talented winger has no less than 20 caps for Ukraine U17 team and it has to be noted that his made his senior debut for Ukraine against Finland in November, 2016. Tsygankov came as a substitute in the 83rd minute of the 2018 World Cup qualifier. Viktor Tsygankov’s main position is right winger, but he is used as a left winger as well.
His preferred foot is left and he has a contract with Dynamo Kiev until June, 2023. The pacey winger made his Dynamo Kiev debut in the Ukrainian Premier League on August 14, 2016 against FC Stal Kamianske. His first coach was Mykola Zahoruyko.
Highlighted Team (Poland):
Poland have recently emerged as one of Europe’s top sides, although they did enjoy some success during the 70’s and 80’s. The White Eagles impressed to achieve third-place finish at the 1974 and 1982 World Cup tournaments, while they also win the 1972 Olympics, albeit with an amateur side.
Poland started showing improvement at the turn of the century, slowly becoming regular at major tournaments and they even co-hosted the Euro 2012 with Ukraine, but disappointed home fans to crash out in the group stage. The new generation, boasting players like Robert Lewandowski, Arkadiusz Milik, Lukas Piszczek, Grzegorz Krychowiak and Jakub Blaszczykowski, has the potential to help the national team return to old glory days, with some talented players also coming through the youth ranks.
Zbigniew Boniek, Wlodzimierz Lubanski and Grzegorz Lato are some of the other players who have impressed playing for the national team, which has been playing their home games at the National Stadium in Warsaw.
