Ukrainian women's national team travels to Croatia today for their sixth round Nations League match, following a crucial victory that secured their place in the competition's elite division.
The match kicks off at 8:00 PM Kyiv time in the Croatian city of Karlovac, with both teams looking to finish the group stage on a positive note.
"Securing our spot in the elite division was our primary goal, but we're not relaxing for this final match," – a team representative could note ahead of today's clash.
Ukraine enters this fixture with boosted confidence after defeating Albania 2:1 in their previous Nations League match. That victory wasn't just another three points – it mathematically guaranteed Ukraine would remain in the top tier of the competition for the next campaign.
According to Statbet analysts, Ukraine's recent form makes them competitive even away from home, with their defensive organization becoming a particular strength in this campaign.
Croatia will look to use their home advantage at Karlovac, though Ukraine's recent performances suggest they won't be intimidated by the atmosphere. Both teams have already faced each other earlier in the competition, giving coaches valuable insights for tactical adjustments.
Will Ukraine continue their momentum with another positive result? The answer comes tonight when the referee blows the opening whistle at 8 PM.
