Scotland and Ukraine meet again on short notice, this time in the Nations League. They played their last match against each other in July as part of the World Cup qualifiers, and in that match Ukraine achieved a more than convincing 3-1 victory. I said more than convincing for the simple reason that Scotland is known for their extremely hard football and they are a team on whose matches we do not see many goals. There are a few well-known individuals in the Scotland national team who play at big clubs, such as Robertson and McTominay, but in my opinion the rest of the squad is average in terms of quality. Scotland has a lot of difficulties when they meet with quality teams, which Ukraine is without any doubt. In the last six matches, Scotland managed to achieve only two victories, both against Armenia. Against teams that are somewhat better than them, such as Austria, Poland, Ireland and Ukraine, they simply did not have what it takes to win. A huge disadvantage for the Scots will be the absence of captain Robertson, whose penetrations on the left side can really threaten the opponent. The bookies gave a slight advantage to the home team in this match, but I honestly think that Ukraine has a better team and that they will not lose in this match.

Unlike Scotland, Ukraine has been playing great in recent years and they have shown that they are by no means an easy opponent for any national team. Last year, they played an excellent European Championship and made it to the quarterfinals, where they were eliminated by England. In the deciding match for the World Championship, they lost to Wales rather unluckily. Wales took the lead with an own goal by Yarmolenko and until the end of the game had no ambitions in attack. Ukraine was an incomparably better opponent, but unfortunately they were not lucky in that match. Defeats against England and Wales are the only two defeats the Ukrainians have in the last 16 games. They have more than a high-quality representation made up of well-known individuals like Yarmolenko, Zinchenko and Malinovsky, who make a difference on the field with their individual quality. Unfortunately, due to the war situation in Ukraine, the domestic championship was postponed for a long time, but now the situation in their league is slowly stabilizing and the players who play for the teams in the domestic championship are in excellent shape. That can be one of the additional motivations for the Ukrainians, they play the last games with great emotions and I am sure that they will play this match as well. I expect a very uncertain match, primarily because of the way Scotland plays, but I think that the individual quality is on the side of the Ukrainians and that they will manage to win at least one point in this match.

苏格兰和乌克兰在短时间内再次相遇，这次是在国际联赛中。两国在今年7月的世界杯预选赛中进行了最后一场比赛，在那场比赛中，乌克兰以3比1完胜对手。我之所以说更有说服力，原因很简单，因为苏格兰的足球踢得非常艰苦，我们在他们的比赛中看不到太多进球。在苏格兰国家队中，有一些著名的球员效力于豪门，比如罗伯逊和麦克托米奈，但在我看来，其他球员的水平一般。苏格兰在遇到有实力的球队时会遇到很多困难，毫无疑问，乌克兰就是这样。在过去的六场比赛中，苏格兰只取得了两场胜利，都是对阵亚美尼亚。面对奥地利、波兰、爱尔兰和乌克兰等略胜一筹的球队，他们根本不具备取胜的条件。苏格兰队的一大劣势是队长罗伯逊的缺席，他在左路的突破可以真正威胁到对手。博彩公司在这场比赛中给了主队一点优势，但我真的认为乌克兰队的实力更强，他们不会输掉这场比赛。

与苏格兰不同的是，乌克兰近年来表现出色，他们已经证明了自己绝非任何国家队的轻松对手。去年，他们在欧洲杯上表现出色，闯入四分之一决赛，但被英格兰淘汰。在世界锦标赛的决胜战中，他们很不幸地输给了威尔士。威尔士凭借亚莫连科的乌龙球取得领先，直到比赛结束，他们都没有进攻的野心。乌克兰是一个无与伦比的好对手，但不幸的是，他们在那场比赛中并不幸运。对阵英格兰和威尔士的失利是乌克兰人在过去16场比赛中仅有的两场失利。他们拥有由亚莫连科、津琴科和马林诺夫斯基等知名球员组成的高质量代表队，这些人凭借个人素质在赛场上发挥了重要作用。不幸的是，由于乌克兰的战争局势，国内冠军赛被推迟了很长一段时间，但现在他们联赛的形势正在慢慢稳定下来，为国内冠军赛球队效力的球员状态都很好。这可能是乌克兰人的另一个动力，他们在最后几场比赛中表现得很好，我相信他们也会踢好这场比赛。我预计这将是一场非常不确定的比赛，主要是因为苏格兰的打法，但我认为乌克兰人的个人素质是站在他们一边的，他们将设法在这场比赛中赢得至少一分。
