[UEFA Nations League] It’s difficult to pinpoint a clear favorite, as both Ukraine and the Czech Republic have shown defensive vulnerabilities in recent games.

The Ukrainian national team, featuring more players from European top leagues than ever before, is going through a tough period. Serhiy Rebrov's team had a disappointing Euro 2024 campaign, exiting in the group stage with just 4 points, finishing fourth. The decisive blow came in the opening 0-3 loss to Romania. Victories over Slovakia (2-1) and a draw with Belgium (0-0) weren’t enough, as all teams in the group ended with 4 points.

Ukraine's start in the current Nations League has been equally challenging. First, Rebrov's side lost 1-2 at home to Albania, despite scoring the first goal. In the second round, they were defeated 2-3 by the Czech Republic. However, on Friday, Ukraine finally claimed their first victory in the tournament, edging out group leaders Georgia 1-0. Despite missing many key players, a goal from Mykhailo Mudryk was enough to secure the win.The Czech Republic also endured a dismal Euro 2024 campaign, finishing last in their group, which included Portugal, Turkey, and Georgia. The backbone of the Czech squad comes from their domestic league, and the team is known for physical and gritty football rather than flair or speed. Czech fans rarely expect a spectacle from their national team.

The Czech Republic’s Nations League campaign has been full of ups and downs. In the first round, Ivan Hašek's team suffered a shocking 1-4 defeat to Georgia, playing poorly throughout and conceding multiple chances. However, they bounced back with a hard-fought 3-2 victory at home against Ukraine. On Friday, they secured another win, defeating Albania 2-0, thanks to a brace from Tomáš Chorý.

Prediction: 1-0
