Former Ukraine national team defender Oleksandr Kucher shared his expectations from the semi-final play-off match of Euro 2024 qualification Bosnia and Herzegovina - Ukraine.
"Of course, a tough game is expected. On the final result in it depends on the exit to the final, where the winner of the duel in Zenica will meet the winner of the other semifinal pair Israel - Iceland. Both teams will give their all in the match. Still, I expect a heavy victory for the Ukrainian national team.
The leaders of the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina are Dzeko and Pjanic, who played in the leading European championships. The first of them now plays in Turkish Fenerbahce, and the second in Sharjah from the UAE. In general, it is difficult to say anything concrete about Bosnian football, because I have not followed the championship of this country closely.
I can say that the Bosnians are characterised by their fighting qualities. In the upcoming game they will give the game all their strength, because in the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina there is a group of players for whom this may be the last chance in their careers to get to a football tournament of such a high level. Therefore, I repeat: the game will be very hard. I wish our guys good luck in it," Kucher said.
