In Group I of qualifying for the World Cup on Sunday, October 9, at 17:00, will be held match Ukraine – Kosovo. After they drew in the first two games of the group, the hosts badly need to win.
Ukraine
Under the leadership of Shevchenko, Ukraine scored only two points in the early stages after remises with Iceland, Turkey respectively. Although the meeting started well Büyükşehir Torku Arena, managing to take an advantage of two goals in 27 minutes, Yarmolenko & co have managed to keep the advantage until the end. Tufan minute Calhanoglu in 45 + 1 and 81 minutes, returned fate of the game, which ended so with a fair draw.
The only positive aspect for the hosts is that they have managed to emerge unbeaten from two confrontations with difficult opponents. Kosovo national team against any other outcome except victory is unacceptable.
Kosovo
On the other side, although he managed to get a point in moving from Finland, little national of the Republic of Kosovo has been wiped out “at home” (match was played in Albania), of Croatia by a score of 0-6. Thus, with only one point gained, Kosovo already occupy last place in the group and it seems that will not have much to say in economics group. A few talented players on their roster, but a new team is relatively inexperienced at international level, can not hope to obtain results more than honorable.
Probable teams:
Ukraine (4-5-1): Pyatov – Butko Kucher Ordets Sobol – Zinchenko Kovalenko Konoplyanka Yarmolenko Stepanenko – Kravets
Kosovo (4-4-2): Ujkani – Perdedaj Pepa Pnishi Paqarada – Rashi Berisha Kryeziu Behrami – Celina Zeneli
