Former Ukraine national team player Oleh Shelayev told us who he favors in today's Nations League match between Serhiy Rebrov's men and the subgroup leaders Georgians:
"If the Ukrainians played in the optimal lineup, they could be called the favorites. Nevertheless, our personnel losses are noticeable, yes, there are qualified debutants, but they need time to become their own in the main team of the country and claim leading roles.
In addition, from a strategic point of view, the Georgians, who are in the lead, are in a better position, and even a draw will suit them today in Poznan. Therefore, they will act in their favorite manner - from the defense, relying on the high-speed maneuvers of their attacking group. It will be a difficult match for both teams with equal chances. That is why, in my opinion, everything will end with the signing of a peace agreement - 1:1," said Shelayev.
