What does Ukraine need in terms of tournament standings?

Currently, Ukraine is in last place in its group, trailing leader Czechia by three points.

To advance to Division A from first place, the "yellow-blues" must win this match and the next one, while also hoping for missteps from the Czechs.

In the event of a loss in this confrontation, Ukraine will not only lose the chance for first place but could also risk finishing at the bottom of the table with one round remaining.

Prediction from Mind

Both teams desperately need a win. The Georgians, after victories in September, have lost twice, so they will be very motivated.

It is very difficult to predict how the match will unfold, making it equally challenging to determine a winner. We hope that Serhiy Rebrov's team can secure a victory, and we predict a score of 2:1 in favor of Ukraine.

Background.  Let us remind you that for this gathering, Serhiy Rebrov has called up a debutant from a top European league.
