Former Ukraine national team striker Oleksandr Palianytsia has made a prediction for the third round match of the Nations League between Ukraine and Georgia.

- The fact that a whole group of Ukrainian national teams will be absent tomorrow due to injuries should only unite our main team. Moreover, the tournament position forces Serhii Rebrov's team to play only for victory.

I hope that the debutants will have their say. In the press after their call-up, they said that their dream had come true. Now they have a chance to prove that the coaching staff was right in their choice.

Tomorrow in Poznan there will be an interesting rivalry, because the national teams of Ukraine and Georgia adhere to different styles. The nominal hosts will be supported by 12 players. This is a significant "trump card". I'm betting on a 1-0 victory for the Ukrainians," Palianytsia was quoted as saying by Sport.UA.
