Match 3 of Serbia — Ukraine will take place on October 6 in the city of Vrane and will start at 18:00 local time (19:00 Kyiv time). The match of the 4th round, Ukraine — Serbia, will be held five days later, on October 11, in the Hungarian city of Berettyóújfalu. Kick-off is scheduled for 19:00 Kyiv time.
As a reminder, there too, in Berettyóújfalu, Ukraine's team lost to Poland — 2:3, and before that they defeated Belgium in Rusdal — 10:2.
The head coach of the Ukrainian team, Oleksandr Kosynko, has called up 15 players for preparation for these matches. The only change compared to the previous gathering is that Yaroslav Lebid was included instead of injured Igor Chernyavs'kyi.
"Of course, any defeat affects the team and the players, but the atmosphere in the group remains normal despite the failure, and I hope that in the match against Serbia we will be ready to 100%."
"Like any Balkan national team from a sports discipline — this is a strong and technically well-prepared opponent, so we need to prepare for a tough game," — he said the day before Oleksandr Kosynko.
We add that matches of Ukraine's national team in the elite round of qualification for the 2024 World Cup will be exclusively broadcast by the media service MEGOGO.
