In recent matches, Canada’s midfield duo of Stephen Eustáquio and Ismaël Koné were crucial in effectively distributing the ball. The absence of Alphonso Davies has required some adjustments in the left-back position, with Alistair Johnston stepping in to provide defensive stability.
Jonathan David remains the focal point of the attack, with his ability to drop deep, link play, and finish clinically. The wingers, Ali Ahmedt and Jacob Shaffelburg, add pace and creativity to the game, aiming to stretch the opposition’s defense.

In attack, the combination of Andriy Yarmolenko’s experience, Artem Dovbyk’s physical presence, and Georgiy Sudakov’s pace offers a multifaceted threat. The full-backs, Bogdan Mykhaylichenko and Vitaliy Mykolenko, are encouraged to advance and support the wingers.
Defensively, Ukraine try to maintain a compact shape, with the center-back pairing of Illia Zabarnyi and Mykola Matviyenko focusing on intercepting passes and winning aerial duels.
In terms of injuries, Oleksandr Nazarenko has withdrawn due to injury, and defender Vladislav Dubinchak is sidelined with a knee issue. Mykhailo Mudryk is still suspended due to a doping investigation.
