Teams are already ready to step onto the emerald grass of "Tarczynski Arena" under the applause of thousands of fans who gathered at the Wrocław stadium this evening!

Oge Hareide led Denmark out for the 2018 World Cup. Sergei Rebrov may lead Ukraine's team to Euro-2024. We are waiting for a resolution in this coaching duel as well!

Iceland has won only three of their last 11 away matches in European Championship qualifiers (one draw and seven losses), but the most recent victory came on Thursday against Israel.

Ukraine lost only two of their last 19 Euro qualifier matches, and this is Ukraine's third appearance in the playoff (in 1999 our team lost to Slovenia but took revenge from them in 2015).

The parity in the rivalry: Ukraine and Iceland each won once and drew twice. The coach of blue-and-yellow scored against Iceland in Euro-2000 qualifiers, but their last meeting still ended up with a double by Gylfi Sigurdsson on the way to the 2018 World Cup.

Sergei Rebrov's starting lineup for Iceland has changed compared to the one that started against Bosnia in the playoff semifinal. Today, Ruslan Malynovsky, Viktor Cigankov and Roman Yaremchuk will play from the first minute, while Mykola Matvienko will lead the team with a captain's armband.
