In the fourth match of the Qualification match to the World Cup-2026, the national team of Ukraine will meet in Krakow with Azerbaijan.

Ukraine is Azerbaijan Moodlyok, October 13, 21:45. ICC Krakowia Stadium, Krakow (Poland). The main referee is Sebastian Hisamer (Burmos, Austria). Light broadcast on Megogo A little over a month ago, we were also “superfavorites” of the match in Baku and seemingly different, except as a victory over the outsider of our qualifying quartet D, it cannot be. It turns out what can. Ukraine in Baku played a draw against Azerbaijan and in one evening actually sent the whole football community of our country.

And here this uncertainty about playing on the Iceland field in October was rather the result of those events. But this time, the team of Sergei Rebrov won a really bright victory, but only in terms of the final account (5: 3). The scenario of the development of events in Reykjavik that evening was the quality of execution from the point of view of our team.

And now we are back to Azerbaijan again with only one obvious task. It is necessary to win only victory. Because the victory over the Icelanders in vacuum is really little worth it. It is enough for rivals to match us by points, as the question of the difference of heads is raised, and there we still have “0”, while the Vikings – +2. Yes, they have taken five goals in the home game in the first round (5-0). It is desirable that we will use it this time.

However, the infirmary, and he was already not small, after the match in Reykjavik, he was also replenished by Georgy Sudakov, who would be very needed to reveal the dense defense of Aikhan Abbasov’s team. Yes, we do not have his Kilian Mbappe, who could string five rivals on a dribbling and draw a decisive blow, so every creative unit should be valued properly.

Yegor Yarmolyuk may be able to play some time, but against the background of his injury and recovery after him, and, apparently, there are some arrangements with Brentford’s coaching staff, the midfielder’s play time will be quite limited. The rest of the changes, like all our future starting composition, look quite predictable – the brother will be sent to the support area, because the more guns on the field, the better, and Dovbik will be used at the edge of the attacks, because Vanata against the closed Azerbaijan there is nothing – it showed a match in the tank. And Voloshin also deserves a place on the field from the first minutes after which the performance in Reykjavik.

The situation is in fact that Azerbaijan is still in the race. The rivals ahead of us, as we have, will still matches against Iceland and France at home, so the scores in the next game against Ukraine for “tricycoole” look like not so much and deprived of meaning. The team of Sergiy Rebrov will have to demonstrate their advantage by class, which in capital letters is written on paper before the game, but in the first meeting, no one was able to read this text. The month was to correct mistakes – we will see if this time is enough.

According to bookmakers, the favorite of the future confrontation is the wards of Sergei Rebrov. Thus, the victory of Ukraine is offered a factor of 1.22, while the potential success of Azerbaijan is estimated at 13.00. The likelihood of a draw is represented by a factor of 7.00.

Coaches say Sergey Rebrov, Head coach of the national team of Ukraine: “I don’t know why, but we are always reacting well to failure. When we lose – we are giving out a strong game. And I hope that tomorrow from the first minute we will show our strength. These points are much more important to us than for the Azerbaijan national team.”

Aikhan Abbasovhead coach of the Azerbaijan national team: “We understand that there is a certain level between our teams. Ukraine and France are high-end national teams, with many experienced players who perform in top championships. But we also have our own plan. Yes, we will not reveal the whole strategy, but we will show it on the field.”

Estimated warehouses Ukraine: Trubin – hemp, Zabarny, Matvienko, Mykolenko – Malinovsky, Brazhko, Shaparenko – Gutsuliak, Dovbik, Voloshin.

Azerbaijan: Magomedaliyev – Aliyev, Badalov, Mustafazade, Krivotsyuk, Jafuliyev – Bayramov, Hibulaev, Mahmudov, Ahmedzade – Emrel.
