The national team of Ukraine in Krakow will try the third attempt to record their first win in the qualifying cycle for the 2018 world Cup.
Debut matches of “blue-yellow” under the leadership of Andriy Shevchenko turned out to be ambiguous – in the matches with Iceland and Turkey, we could score six points, and stay with zero. The team has six official matches can not win – antirecords series it’s time to finish, and nobody in Ukraine will not understand, if this happens in Krakow in the match against Kosovo.
Despite the status of the debutant of the FIFA, the national team of Kosovo should not be put on a par with football dwarfs, and even the recent 0:6 from Croatia are not a measure of the strength of today’s opponents of the Ukrainian team. The coaching staff of the national team of Ukraine there is practically no material for the study of Kosovo, but because the slightest underestimation can lead to big problems. I want to believe that our players will allow.
Compared to the match against Turkey in the basis of the national team of Ukraine can expect a few changes – age Kucera likely to replace Khacheridi, maybe your chance to get and Petryak, there are questions about Zinchenko and Kovalenko, who failed 100% to prove himself in Konya.
Preliminary formulations:
Ukraine: Pyatov – Butko, Khacheridi, Ordets, Sable – Stepanenko, Zinchenko, Kovalenko, Yarmolenko, Kravets, Petryak.
Kosovo: Ujkani – Perdedaj, Pnishi, Rahmani, Pacard – Alushi, Kryeziu – Rashica, V. Berisha, Berisha B. – Bunjaku Has Been.
Stream: TRK “Ukraine”, 19:00
Prediction: 3:1
