Two rounds before qualifying for Euro 2019, the Ukrainian team ranks second in group 4 with 14 points scored, ahead of the Scots thanks to a better goal difference.

"We expect a very difficult match. After all, when we played against Ukraine in Scotland, our opponent controlled the course of the fight and acted at a very high level, "admitted Jemmill.

"Ukraine is a very good team, its players are strong both physically and technically. In addition, the Ukrainian team has a strong character, and this is very important ".

"I don’t want to single out any of the opponent’s performers specifically. They all pose a threat to our gates.. During the match in Scotland, the Ukrainians created a lot of chances, so we should be more careful in defending ".

"There are several players in the youth team of Ukraine who put on the national team uniform. There are such players in our team. This is Chris Cadden and Lewis Morgan. Unfortunately, we have certain personnel losses, we will not be able to use two performers who took part in the victorious fight with the Netherlands ".

"Tomorrow's game, of course, will be very important for solving the problem of entering the next stage of the tournament. But the most important thing is that we give young players to show themselves at a level that is already near the level of the national team ".

"We arrived in Ukraine on Tuesday and were amazed by the hospitality of the Ukrainians. I can only thank you for such a warm welcome. ".

The match between the national teams of Ukraine U-21 and Scotland U-21 will be held on Friday, October 12. The beginning of the meeting at 19:00 Kyiv time.
