Ukraine vs. Macedonia
In the Euro 2024 qualification Group C, two closely matched nations are set to face off once again at Stadion Letna in the Czech Republic this Saturday. It’s Ukraine against North Macedonia, renewing their rivalry.
Sergiy Rebrov’s team narrowly missed victory in their previous match, ending with a 2-1 loss to the reigning champions, Italy. On the other hand, their opponents comfortably triumphed over Malta with a 2-0 scoreline.
Having previously disrupted England’s flawless record in Euro qualifiers, cheered on by an enthusiastic Wroclaw crowd and holding the Three Lions to a 1-1 draw, thanks to Oleksandr Zinchenko, Ukraine aimed for a bigger triumph by challenging Italy on their home turf.

Nevertheless, Davide Frattesi from Inter Milan capitalized on his San Siro familiarity, netting two goals within the first half-hour. Even though Andriy Yarmolenko managed to narrow the score just before half-time, Ukraine’s second-half endeavors proved unavailing.
What to remember – Ukraine vs. Macedonia
Sergiy Rebrov didn’t anticipate the absence of key attackers Yarmolenko and Tsygankov for the pivotal matches in October. However, Mudryk and Ruslan Malinovskyi step in as capable alternatives for a team that recently gave the dominant England a strong challenge.
North Macedonia, seeking revenge after their late setback in June, is determined. Nevertheless, we maintain our confidence in Ukraine to secure victory in a closely contested match, thus extending their lead in Group C over the Lynxes.
