Former Ukrainian national team player Yaroslav Khoma told what he expects from the match of the 4th round of the Nations League Ukraine - Czech Republic, which will take place today in Wroclaw.

Of course, in the confrontation with Georgians, the main thing was the result, and in such cases, entertainment fades into the background. Moreover, the participants of the match in Poznan were hampered by the poor condition of the lawn.
Nevertheless, after the Poznan victory, our guys need to win in Wroclaw as well. Although Georgians and Czechs have nothing in common in terms of playing style. Georgians mostly act from the defense, counting on sharp counterattacks, while the Czechs rely on power football and try to impose a tough fight on the opponent on every piece of the field. In September, the same Georgians escaped from the grip of this pressure and, thanks to their individual skill, crushed the Czechs at home. We'll see if the Ukrainians can cope with this pressure tomorrow.
And although there was little time to recover, I don't think there will be any changes in the Ukrainian starting lineup. Serhii Rebrov must remember that the winning lineup is not changed, especially when the gate is kept locked. And after the break, depending on the course of events on the field, you can make some adjustments.
As for the result, in my opinion, there will be no winner in Wroclaw," said Khoma.
