Prediction: 1-2
Ukraine
A spot at the 2022 World Cup finals will be at stake when Wales and Ukraine go head to head at Cardiff City Stadium on Sunday. The Dragons set up a meeting with Ukraine by beating Austria 2-1, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in the decider. All Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey, Ben Davies, and Joe Allen are back after the quartet was rested in a friendly with Poland, while Joe Morrell returns from suspension.
The Ukrainians, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 3-1 win over Scotland. The Yellow Blues impressed in the World Cup playoffs semis, and given their attacking potential, we predict that Oleksandr Petrakov’s troops are going to qualify for the showpiece tournament in Qatar. As for the visiting team, Petrakov has no fresh injury worries ahead of the trip to Wales.
Highlighted Player (Gareth Bale):
Gareth Bale is a Welsh footballer who plays for Real Madrid as a winger. “Bailo” was born in Cardiff on 16 July, 1989 and, as expected, he played for his home-town club Cardiff Civil Service at the start of his youth career. He moved to Southampton’s football academy in 1999 and he made a great progress during his spell with the Saints.
Bale made 40 league appearances for the first team and it has to be noted that he played as a full back at the start of his senior career. In 2007 he signed a contract with Tottenham Hotspur and he was producing thrilling performances with the White Hart Lane outfit from 2007 to 2013. Real Madrid chiefs did well to sign him on 1 September, 2013 for a fee of €91 million.
The Welsh winger won two Champions League trophies with los Blancos (2013/2014, 2015/2016) and, speaking of his international career, he made it to the European Championship finals with Wales. The Welsh ace scored three goals at the showpiece tournament in France as the Dragons reached the semi-final.
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.
