The Ukrainian national team without a win against Albania will drop to Division "C"

After yesterday’s matches of the penultimate round of the Nations League in the first group of Division "B", the tournament situation for the Ukrainian national team has become critical.

Now the standings of the teams in this quartet are as follows.

1. Czech Republic — 8 points

2. Georgia — 7

3. Albania — 7

4. Ukraine — 5.

Considering the results of head-to-head matches, the Ukrainian national team no longer has a chance to finish in first place in the group, which gives a direct ticket to Division "A" for the next season of the Nations League. At the same time, the "blue-yellows" can still take the final second place and thereby gain the right to participate in the playoffs for a spot in Division "A".

However, in order to leave the last place, the Ukrainian team needs to win against Albania in the final round. In any other result, the Ukrainian national team will drop to Division "C". If the "blue-yellows" finish third, they will face playoff matches to preserve their place in Division "B".
