Ukraine hosts Spain in round 4 of the UEFA Nations League A. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 13th at NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium (Kyiv)
Ukraine won the opening match in the current Nations League (a victory over Switzerland). However, all the regular players could take part in that match. Then the coronavirus made its villainous adjustments to Shevchenko's plans. This damn illness mowed down all the regulars representing Shakhtar. Some more players became sick either. And there are some injuries. All these factors brought the Yellow-blues to the point that one of the coaches of the national team, Oleksandr Shovkovsky, was a reserve goalkeeper in a friendly match with France. It's good that the veteran had to go through this shame on the bench - France won with a 7-1 score. Ukraine also lost in the last round of the Nations League. The defeat to Germany was decent (2-1), but it's a defeat nonetheless. And the hosts will probably lose to the Spaniards.

The Red Fury defeated Switzerland in the last home match of the Nations League. A little earlier, it tied with Germany. The friendly match with the Portuguese ended in a goalless draw, but Enrique checked his reserve, and there were only a couple of regulars on the pitch. In Ukraine, there will probably be the same squad that dealt with the Yellow-Blues a month ago. Let me remind you that Spain won with a 4-0 score without any problems.
Perhaps the score will not be so big this time, but the Spaniards, who are two heads stronger than their opponents, will take their three points away from Kyiv. Even if Shevchenko managed to gather all the strongest, he could count on a draw at best. The hosts do not have half of the regular lineup due to sores. Beyond that, Malinovsky will not play because he picked up too many yellow cards. I think the Ukrainian national team has practically no chances of a positive outcome in the upcoming match. The rivals crossed their paths six times. And Ukraine managed to gain a draw only in the first meeting (back in 2003). Spain won the next five games. And it will probably win once again.
Prediction for the match: Spain to win
