ovest Ukrainian TV presenter Igor Tsyganik shared his forecast for the Euro 2024 qualifying match England - Ukraine, which will take place tomorrow in London.
"It will be a very difficult match for our national team. We are preparing under difficult conditions, quite a lot of personnel losses, there are problems with the center of defense. Given the friendly match against Brentford B, Svatok should play in the starting lineup next to Matvienko. I do not see any other option in the center of defense so far.
As for the other positions, on the right flank of defense, I expect the appearance of Karavaev, respectively, on the left - Mikolenko. Then Zinchenko, Malinovskyy, Stepanenko, on the flanks Cygankov and Mudryk, in attack Yaremchuk - this is if we proceed from our lineup against Brentford B.
England played a very difficult match against Italy (2-1). They looked very confident in the first half, but in the second half they barely managed to keep their advantage, although they could have conceded it even if the Italians played much more aggressively up front.
In general, England have a great choice of players, even despite the fact that they have lost Rushford or Shaw: they can equally substitute them. They will play at home, they will play at the legendary Wembley - it is a special stadium for England. So it will be more difficult for our team.
I think that Ukraine will rely on the speed of Mudryk and Tsygankov. I venture to guess that the match will be productive and our team will be able to score," said Tsyganik.
