Despite the ongoing war, Ukrainian football continues to live and develop. This applies not only to club football, but also to the Ukrainian national football team, which is due to meet on September 21 with the Scottish team within the League of Nations..

The Ukrainian Football Premier League, the general sponsor of which is Vbet Casino, has not yet started, and it is not yet known how it will be held. This is an important factor, since the vast majority of Ukrainian teams play for domestic clubs. All this can affect their playing and physical form.. Also, one should not forget about the morale of Ukrainian football players who are under constant pressure from the war..

Team leader Andriy Yarmolenko left West Ham and went to conquer the Arabian Peninsula. Other legionnaires of the Ukrainian team, who play leading roles in it, in the person of Zinchenko and Malinovsky, are also in a not very clear position.. Zinchenko changed Manchester City to Arsenal, so he will be forced to go through an adaptation period, which will definitely affect his form and mentality. Malinovsky, although he scores in friendly matches for Atalanta, still did not have the best last season, which can shake his position in the club, which means it can negatively affect the Ukrainian national football team.

While the odds for Scotland to win is 2. 48, and for the victory of Ukraine 3. 05. As for the draw, the coefficient of this result is 3. ten.

In many ways, this position of bookmakers and other gambling platforms is explained by the extremely unstable social, political and economic situation in Ukraine, which arose as a result of the invasion of the Russian occupation forces..

In general, since Ukraine gained independence in 1991, the Ukrainian football team managed to play three matches against the Scottish team. So, as part of the selection for the European Football Championship 2008, Ukraine played its first match in history against Scotland on October 11, 2006 at the Kiev Olympic stadium, which ended with a score of 2:0 in favor of the yellow-blue. The second match of the national teams was already held in Scotland on October 13, 2007. The match ended with a confident victory with a score of 3:1.

The last match between the football teams of Ukraine and Scotland to date was held recently, on June 1, 2022, already at the height of a full-scale war against Russia. Due to the situation in Ukraine, the match was held in Scotland and ended with a 1:3 defeat for the home team.. Such a confident victory of the Ukrainian team became a certain sensation in the football world, since all bookmakers gave preference to Scotland. The average odds for Scotland to win was 1. 69 while the coefficient for the victory of the Ukrainian team was 2. 25.
