Renowned journalist Roberto Morales told what he expects from the Euro 2024 qualifying match between Northern Macedonia and Ukraine to be held tomorrow in Skopje.
Roberto Morales"The first official match of the Ukraine national team is definitely not similar to the recent encounter in Bremen against Germany. That time the hosts were rather floppy and relaxed, which almost made them lose. The Bundesmanschaft also tried to play at number one.
We don't expect all that from the Macedonians. Which doesn't make them easy prey. Just ask, for example, the Italians, whom this team did not let into the World Cup.
This year, the Macedonians have beaten the teams of Malta and the Faroe Islands minimally.
The match in Skopje is expected to be quite stubborn and close on both sides. The weight of the result is serious enough and caution in such situations is natural. The factor of getting to know the team and finding the optimum combinations of players is also working for Rebrov's side.
My bet is that the Ukraine national team will not lose," Morales said.
