WORDS BEFORE THE MATCH
Ruslan Rotan, head coach of the Ukrainian national team:
- We are studying them. The team is physically strong. This is not to say that it is not technical. The technical components are very good. Fast attack, vertical play, a lot of openings behind the back, this can already be noted. Add to that three more players from the national team. That's why I think this team is in a very good condition and they will also qualify for the playoffs. They won't just give away points to anyone.

Ukraine: Fesyun - Martyniuk, Talovierov, Salyuk, Krupskyi - Rubchynskyi, Mykhaylenko, Kryskiv - Khlan, Braharu, Sikan
