UEFA Nations League is back! On a Wednesday night, a rescheduled game between Scotland and Ukraine is going to be played. Teams are competing for promotion to the A league and in a little bit better situation right now is Ukraine - after 3 games they have 7 points while Scotland follows with 6 points. Next week both teams are going to meet again.

At the first day of June, both teams played each other in the World Cup qualification and Ukraine won 3:1. All three players who scored goals for Ukraine are in the lineup tonight also (Dovbyk, Yaremchuk and Yarmolenko) and the same goes for Scotland as McGregor will play. Scotland will miss its captain Andy Robertson, and important players like Jacob Brown, Grant Hanley, and Jon McLaughlin won't be available also. Ukraine is going to be without their main star Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Since ending 2021 with six wins, Scotland has won only two of their last six games and both victories were against Armenia which isn't a top-tier team. In comparison - Ukraine has played eight games this year and lost only one, but that was against Wales in competition for the spot in the World Cup.

Both teams are going to be very motivated. Scotland is going to be eager to get revenge for the recent loss but Ukraine's motivation is to get back to the A league as they were relegated only because of the COVID-19 outbreak in the team. We can't forget about what is happening in the country and head coach Oleksandr Petrakov told recently that the team wants to give some joy to the Ukrainian people.

It doesn't matter where the game is played because Ukraine hasn't played in front of its fans for a while. So far, Ukraine has demonstrated excellent defense conceding only 1 goal while scoring 5. Scotland has conceded 4 goals and scored 6. Overall, Ukraine is the better team, some Scotland players aren't in the best shape and I'm predicting Ukraine's victory.

欧洲国家联赛回来了!周三晚上，苏格兰队和乌克兰队之间将进行一场重新安排的比赛。各支球队都在为升入A联赛而竞争，目前情况稍微好一点的是乌克兰，3场比赛后他们积7分，苏格兰积6分紧随其后。下周两队将再次相遇。

6月的第一天，两支球队在世界杯预选赛中交锋，乌克兰以3:1获胜。为乌克兰进球的三名球员都在今晚的阵容中(多夫比克，亚列姆丘克和亚莫连科)，为苏格兰进球的麦格雷戈也将出场。苏格兰队将失去队长安迪·罗伯逊，雅各布·布朗、格兰特·汉利和乔恩·麦克劳克林等重要球员也将缺席比赛。乌克兰将失去他们的主力球星奥列克桑德尔·津琴科。

自2021年6胜结束以来，苏格兰在最近6场比赛中只赢了2场，而且两场胜利都是对阵亚美尼亚队，这支球队并不是顶级球队。相比之下，乌克兰今年踢了8场比赛，只输了一场，但那是与威尔士争夺世界杯席位的比赛。

两支球队都将非常有动力。苏格兰队渴望为最近的失利复仇，但乌克兰队的动机是回到A联赛，因为他们只是因为新冠肺炎疫情在球队中爆发而降级。我们不能忘记这个国家正在发生的事情，主教练奥莱克桑德尔·佩特拉科夫最近表示，球队希望给乌克兰人民带来一些欢乐。

比赛在哪里举行并不重要，因为乌克兰已经有一段时间没有在球迷面前比赛了。到目前为止，乌克兰表现出了出色的防守，只丢了1球，进了5球。苏格兰丢了4球，进了6球。总的来说，乌克兰是更好的球队，一些苏格兰球员的状态不是最好的，我预测乌克兰会赢。
