Prediction: 2-2
Ukraine
Sparkles will be flying when Albania and Ukraine go head to head at Air Albania Stadium in a highly-anticipated UEFA Nations League game. A win over Ukraine will see Albanians secure a top-two finish and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Serhiy Rebrov’s troops. Gwangju FC forward Jasir Asani limped off with injury in a goalless draw with Czech Republic, with Bodrumspor forward Taulant Seferi likely to step up. Meanwhile, the visitors are stuck at the bottom with only five points on their account, but they have destiny in their own hands.
As Ukraine can climb to second place in the standings as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. You should bear in mind that both sides have managed to find the net in each of their last four meetings in all competitions. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be pacey Chelsea ace Mykhailo Mudryk, who produced a fine performance in a 1-1 draw with Georgia on Saturday.
Highlighted Team (Ukraine):
After the country had gained independence from the Soviet Union, Ukraine played their first international match in 1992, and they have come a long way since. Zbirna have only once played at the World Cup finals so far, and they did really well to reach the quarter-finals in 2006, while they co-hosted the Euro 2012 with Poland, albeit failing to get past the group stage.
The generation that secured qualification for the Euro 2016 finals in France is arguably the most talented ever, with Yevhen Konoplyanka, Andriy Yarmolenko, Ruslan Rotan and Roman Zozulya the leading players, but plenty more talent present in Mikhail Fomenko’s squad.
Similar to the trademark style of former Soviet teams, Ukraine bases their tactics on rock-solid defence and swift counter-attacks, but it has to be noted that Zbirna possess a lot more technical skills and attacking potential than most other former Russian republics. Everything suggests that the most successful period in the history of the national team is ahead of them.
