UKRAINE PREVIEW: CONSECUTIVE DEFEATS LEAVE UKRAINE WITH UPHILL BATTLE
Ukraine simply cannot stop conceding goals at the moment and it’s costing them dearly. After going 1-0 up against Albania, they went on to ship two goals without response, losing 1-2 in the end. They then engaged in a thrilling encounter vs Czechia where once again, their fragile backline cost them, losing 3-2 in Prague.
GEORGIA PREVIEW: FLAWLESS SO FAR, GEORGIA NOW EYING UP PROMOTION
Georgia must be eying up the very real possibility of promotion to League A following this latest Nations League campaign after brilliant start they have made to life in the group. A dominating 4-1 triumph over Czechia was followed up less than a week later with a hard-fought 0-1 win away at Albania. Already, Georgia have demonstrated not only their attacking potency, but also their defensive stability, which is just as important.

UKRAINE VS GEORGIA PREDICTION
Now feels like a good time to play Ukraine when considering the number of high-quality players who won’t be available for them due to injury. Their squad depth isn’t of the same ability and won’t cover the loss of leaders such as Zinchenko and Malinovsky, not to mention the class of wide-man Tsygankov. Georgia are in prime position to take advantage and with momentum behind them, are well worth backing to make it three wins from three.
