The well-known manager and expert Vyacheslav Zakhovaylo shared his prediction for the Nations League match between the national teams of Scotland and Ukraine, which will be held today in Glasgow.
“Rivals are equal. Scotland must draw conclusions after losing at home to Ukraine in the playoffs of World Cup qualifiers.
In my opinion, Ukrainians are superior to their opponents in performance skills. But the Scots will not refuse desire. Everything will depend on the state of the players of Alexander Petrakov.
The Ukrainian national team depends on Zinchenko, but he will not be. What form is Yarmolenko in now? Only the game will show. In attack, it is clear that Yaremchuk has no alternative. Everything is clear with our team in terms of composition.
I can't draw parallels between this match and Celtic's match against Shakhtar in the Champions League. Celtic, in general, play football, this already distinguishes the club from the national team. Scotland is more direct, without tricks, preaching fight on the field, competing for rebounds, emphasizing "standards" - this is banal and simple football. Local fans love this.
If you look, then the Ukrainians are the favorites in this pair. However, I will bet on a draw, which I see as the most likely outcome," Zakhovailo said.
