Kazakhstan vs Ukraine. Will the Ukrainians be able to take three points?
On Wednesday, September 1, a duel between the national teams of Kazakhstan and Ukraine will take place at the Astana Arena stadium as part of the selection for the 2022 World Cup.
The national team of Kazakhstan for the match of the new round of the qualifying cycle for the 2022 World Cup comes in last place in its qualifying group, gaining only 1 point. It is interesting that the Kazakhs scored this point precisely in the match with the Ukrainian team in the first round of the qualifying stage, having managed to draw away.
The participation in this game of the head coach of Kazakhstan Talgat Baysufinov, who contracted the coronavirus and probably will not be able to lead the charges from the bench, is questionable. In the next match, the Kazakhs will try to at least repeat the result of the first game, or even aim to win.
Ukraine
The Ukrainian national team after a successful performance at the European Championship changed its head coach - instead of Andriy Shevchenko, Alexander Petrakov was appointed acting mentor, who at one time won the gold of the World Championship with the youth team of Ukraine and is familiar with some of the players of the national team.
Before the new round, the Ukrainians take second place in their group, gaining three points in the first three games and from the start of the selection put themselves in a very uncomfortable position, which obliges them to play for victory in all the remaining matches. Therefore, in the upcoming match, the Ukrainian national team will only be satisfied with the victorious result.
