Match against Georgia will decide Ukraine's fate in League B

Risk of losing status

The Ukrainian national team is on the verge of losing its status in League B of the Nations League. The decisive match will be against the Georgian national team, taking place on 17 November. The result of this game will directly affect whether the Ukrainian team remains in the current division or has to play a relegation playoff.

Chances of promotion lost

The Ukrainian national team no longer has any chance of promotion to League A. The team will remain in third place in the standings, ahead of Georgia by only two points. In other words, the fight is effectively reduced to avoiding relegation.

Scenarios for retaining status

To avoid playoff matches and automatically retain a place in League B, the Ukrainians only need to secure at least a draw in the match against the Georgians. If the team loses, it will be forced to participate in the relegation playoff for the division.

Context: group leader's position

It is worth noting that Northern Ireland is the group leader. The team has not lost any of its five matches and has not conceded a single goal, leading the standings with 11 points.
