Ukraine Team News

Despite being in the “group of death,” Ukraine holds its fate in its own hands when it comes to qualifying for the European Championship. The mathematics for the national team are pretty clear: victories in their remaining three matches against North Macedonia, Malta, and Italy would secure their place in next year’s European Championship in Germany, regardless of other results. However, there are still many points up for grabs, and after the matches played on Saturday, we will likely have a clearer picture of who is closest to the second-place position, as the first place seems to be “reserved” for the English.

Ukraine began the qualification campaign with an expected defeat to England, 2:0. However, they bounced back in the next match with a significant comeback victory against today’s opponent, North Macedonia, winning 3:2. They followed this triumph with a win against Malta and a crucial draw with England on the home pitch (the match was played in Poland). Ukraine would be in a much better position if they had avoided defeat in Italy, where they lost 2:1. Nevertheless, it’s believed that the “yellow-blue” team will not give up as long as there is even the slightest chance of reaching the European Championship.

North Macedonia Team News

North Macedonia currently sits in fourth place on the table with seven points, the same as Ukraine and Italy. However, compared to their competitors, they are in a more challenging position since they have played both matches against Malta.

In the remaining three matches, North Macedonia faces two challenging away games against Ukraine in this round and Italy in the next, while they will host England in the final game of the qualification cycle. North Macedonia’s mistakes have significantly diminished their chances of qualifying for EURO 2024. Their missed opportunity, where they had a 2:0 lead at halftime but eventually lost 3:2 to Ukraine, was followed by a heavy defeat to England, 7:0. North Macedonia now finds itself in a situation where only victories in all three matches can potentially take them to the European Championship, and considering the opponents, their chances of achieving this are minimal.

🚨 National Team Squad!

• Todor Todoroski returns to the squad. Hasn’t been selected since he was sent off vs Bulgaria.

• Dorian Babunski & Davor Zdravkovski surprisingly not included.

• Only three central defenders in the squad, Manev, Musliu & Serafimov.
