The Republic of Ireland currently sits last in the Group B1 standings, though that is a little misleading, as Ukraine and Scotland’s first match was postponed, meaning the only match played in this group has been Ireland’s loss to Armenia.
In that match, Ireland lost 1-0, with Armenia’s Eduard Spertsyan scoring the lone goal of the match. Despite holding the ball for 68% of the match and taking 13 shots, Ireland just couldn’t find the back of the net.
That loss was the first for the team since September, when it lost 2-1 to Portugal. It had enjoyed an eight-match undefeated streak before the Armenia game.
Predicted Ireland starting XI: Egan, Duffy, Collins, Stevens, Cullen, Hendrick, Coleman, Parrott, Robinson, Ogbene; Kelleher
| Position | Ukraine roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Pyatov, Bushchan, Lunin, Riznyk |
| Defenders | Matviyenko, Karavayev, Sobol, Mykolenko, Zabarnyi, Kacharaba, Bondar, Popov, Syrota |
| Midfielders | Yarmolenko, Stepanenko, Zinchenko, Sydorchuk, Malinovskyi, Tsyhankov, Shaparenko, Zubkov, Mudryk, Pikhalyonok, Ihnatenko |
| Forwards | Yaremchuk, Dovbyk, Sikan |
Ukraine is playing its first match of the Nations League, as its first game against Scotland was pushed back because Ukraine had a World Cup qualifier to play.
Ukraine beat Scotland 3-1 on June 1 to move into a match with Wales, with the winner earning the final UEFA spot in the World Cup. An own goal from Andriy Yarmolenko ended the team’s chance of making it to the world’s biggest stage, but it was stil a successful run for a team whose training process has been disrupted by the conflict involving Russia.
That loss was the first for Ukraine since last July, when it suffered a 4-0 defeat against England in the Euro quarter-finals.
Predicted Ukraine starting XI: Mykolenko, Matviyenko, Zabarnyi, Karavayev, Stepanenko, Tsygankov, Zinchenko, Malinovskyi, Yarmolenko, Yaremchuk; Bushchan
