The midfielder also expects serious support for the hosts from the stands
Georgy Sudakov, midfielder of the Ukrainian national team, on the eve of the match with Albania in the sixth round of the group stage of the Nations League (Division B1), recalled the reasons for the defeat of the blue-yellows in the first head-to-head match.
“We basically dominated and had the ball most of the match, but we didn’t have many chances in the final phase. We probably weren’t aggressive enough. We scored the first, but then conceded two goals due to errors.”
“This is a good team, we understand how difficult it will be on the road. They have very good support.”
The meeting between Ukraine and Albania will take place on Tuesday, November 19, in Tirana. The match at the Air Albania stadium will start at 21:45 Kyiv time. The main referee will be Portuguese Joao Pinheiro. Vadim Skichko and Vitaly Kravchenko will comment on the broadcast on the Megogo platform.
Ukraine ranks last in Group B1 with only five points. Albania and Georgia have seven points each, while the leading Czech Republic has eight.
In the confrontation with Albania, Ukraine will only be satisfied with victory. A draw or defeat will automatically relegate the Blue-Yellows to Division C of the Nations League. To take second place and qualify for promotion, the blue-yellows, in addition to their own victory, also need the Georgian team to fail to win in the Czech Republic.
