Renowned journalist Artem Frankov has told us what he expects from the Euro 2024 qualifier Ukraine v Malta, to be played today in Trnava.
Artem Frankov"The odds of Ukraine beating the Islanders are about the same as those of England against Macedonia. It is understandable - Serhiy Rebrov's team's performance in the second half of the Macedonian game couldn't help but impress.
But how well did our side manage to conserve energy? How successful will probable rotation be? Is everyone fit and will Malta be able to lock horns? At least in a friendly match, it gave us a laughing stock once (friendly, Ukraine vs Malta - 0-1, 2017 - ed.).
But your author remains optimistic and hopes you will share his optimism. My bet: on the favourite with minus two. And overall, I believe there will be a penalty kick in the match. And we will score it, but it's not that important in terms of betting anymore," Frankov said.
