Ukraine once again let go of Scotland in the UEFA odds table. Both Ukrainian clubs in European competition Dynamo and Shakhtar lost in their Europa League matches, while the representative of Scotland, Rangers won a draw.

This is evidenced by the table of UEFA coefficients.

So, Ukraine, which is 12th in the rating, has 33,100 points left, while Scotland added another 0.250 points to its asset and now has 33,375.

Thus, Ukraine has very few chances to surpass Scotland in the ranking.. This requires Dynamo and Shakhtar to score at least two points in the return matches against Villarreal and Roma, respectively.. This would bring another 0.400 points to the country's piggy bank (points are divided by the number of participants in European cups, and Ukraine had five of them). But at the same time, it is necessary that the Czech “Slavia” beat the “Rangers” in the second leg and knocked the Scots out of the Europa League. At the same time, they will play in Scotland. The first match between the clubs ended in a draw 1: 1.

Also, Ukraine will have a chance for the coveted 11th place in the UEFA rating if Dynamo or Shakhtar are able to pass their opponents. Note that 11th place most likely gives one direct ticket to the Champions League in the season 2022/2023.

We remind you that yesterday in the first match of the 1/8 finals of the Europa League, Dynamo lost at home to Villarreal 0: 2.

At the same time, Shakhtar lost to Roma on the road with an even greater score - 0: 3.
