Former player of the national team of Ukraine Ihor Zhabchenko made a prediction for the UEFA Nations League match between the teams of Albania and Ukraine, which will take place on November 19 in Tirana:
«The group stage of the Nations League is coming to an end, and we have to acknowledge that in none of the matches played, the game of the Ukrainian team has left a comprehensive impression. There were quality segments that alternated with failures, and therefore we have what we have: we approached the decisive confrontation with the Albanians, occupying the last place.
I think that tomorrow the Ukrainian team will make maximum efforts to tip the scales in their favor, to prevail and avoid relegation. They will even score, but it will not be enough for victory, as we will not keep our gates “locked”. It will be a productive draw — 1:1, which does not suit us at all. And all because of unfortunate failures in the team mechanism», — said Zhabchenko.
