Famous Ukrainian journalist Artem Frankov shared his prediction for the Euro 2024 qualifying match between the national teams of Malta and Ukraine, which will be held today in Malta.
Artem Frankov"Let's go in for another three points, and no fences along with meaningless speeches that Maltese football is now on the rise! Sorry, but fear the wolves - don't go to the forest, especially in this case we are talking at most about wolves or puppies that howl and bark at the passing caravan of big football. But who we are in this world - we are the ones to decide. In spite of all sorts of misconceptions.
Despite such an aggressive start, I am by no means calling to underestimate the next opponent of our national team. Rather, I just emphasise the obvious - we must take these three points if we respect ourselves. Otherwise - no excuses and the usual fan chorus with "disgrace" and so on.
The balance is somewhat dependent, but, of course, it is better not to rely on the parallel match between England and Italy. It would certainly be nice to break into a situation where we'd be satisfied with a draw in a face-to-face match against the Italians.
In short, I don't see any reason other than our usual fatigue with everything that will prevent Sergei Rebrov's team from beating Malta on its cactus-opuntia island. Another issue is that the course of this match will very seriously depend on the plans of the mentors and how the start of the match will turn out.
My bet: Ukraine win with a handicap (-2), I believe in the team!", - said Frankov.
