Coach Milevski pointed out that all footballers are in good shape and he is expecting a much different game than the one that was played in Skopje.

“Our form is improving and I expect the players to show it on the field”.

“In the first match we inexplicably fell after 60-65 minutes. Tomorrow I expect the players to keep their focus until the end, which is a prerequisite for achieving a positive result”.

Enis Bardhi said that despite the fact that Ukraine will be weakened with the absence of Yarmolenko and Tsigankov they have sufficient number of quality players who can replace their absence.

“We are maximally motivated to prove that the last 30 minutes of the match in Skopje was just a lack of concentration and we will do our best to compensate the Ukrainians” – said the captain.

The match will take place on Saturday at the epet Arena in Prague, Czechia with a kick-off at 15.00 CET.
