Well-known sports journalist Oleksiy Andronov shared his prediction for today's Nations League match Scotland - Ukraine.
Alexey Andronov— The League of Nations match, which opens the autumn stage of the tournament. On Wednesday, only one match will be played. Ukraine feels quite confident in the group. But Scotland must be unhooked from itself. The teams have already played in June of this year. Then Ukraine won confidently — 3:1. But, I think, the motivation was incomparably different, because there was a battle for a ticket to the World Cup. Now the situation is a little different.
Although the Ukrainian roster looks pretty decent by name, not all players are in the best shape. Yarmolenko left to play in the Middle East. What state it is in now, I think, is a mystery to everyone.
I think that a good option to bet on such a game is a draw. The coefficient is quite high — 3.1. It does not seem to me that any of the opponents has such qualities to form a big advantage during the match. Ukraine will play quite cautiously in general. She still has a game with Armenia ahead, then the second leg in 6 days. It makes no sense for her to tear herself up with Scotland. And not to say that Scotland is a formidable, attacking team.
In short, my choice is a draw. Confidence - 7 on a 10-point system, - quotes Andronov's forecast "Bookmaker Rating ".
