Former Dynamo Kyiv and Ukrainian national team defender Taras Mykhalyk made a prediction for today's Nations League match between Ukraine and Albania:
- "I am inclined to believe that our guys will win 2-1. Yes, there was an unfortunate failure at Euro 2024, yes, the Albanians have been improving recently, but I believe that the class of Serhii Rebrov's team is higher, and this will affect the result.
The absence of Mykhailo Mudryk and Artem Dovbyk? Of course, these are quite significant losses, but the Albanians also have injuries in the tournament, so the teams will be in about the same position. In the end, this will be an additional opportunity for those performers who have lost their leading positions for various reasons.
Moreover, we are talking about participating in a tournament that to some extent contributes to getting to the World Cup. Therefore, the attitude should be appropriate. I believe in our national team, that they are rehabilitating themselves for unjustified expectations at the European Championship.
