In the next meeting of the European Football Championship, the players of the national teams of Ukraine and England will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in the face-to-face confrontation? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this meeting.
Ukraine
For the first time in its football history, the Ukrainian team was able to reach the quarterfinals of the European Football Championship. No matter how the upcoming meeting ended, the team of Andrey Shevchenko managed to achieve great success. It is clear that the "yellow-blue" with great difficulty came out of the group, gaining only three points, and all thanks to the victory over Northern Macedonia, which happened between defeats in the matches against the Netherlands and Austria. In the 1/8 finals of the tournament, the Ukrainians were opposed by a strong Swedish national team, which the Shevchenko team managed to defeat due to a goal in overtime (2:1 FROM) scored by Artem Dovbik.
England
As for the English team, after the 1/8 finals of the tournament, it became the main favorite of the European Championship. At least, according to the betting companies. The English disappointed the fans with their game at the group stage of the competition, but in the first meeting of the playoffs they were able to stop Germany-2: 0. It is worth admitting that this time Gareth Southgate's tactical ideas were just right, despite the fact that the team of nominal guests acted too rationally. It is noteworthy that the English national team is still the only team that has not conceded a single goal at the European Championship.
Statistics and figures:
- The British are listed as the favorites of the meeting;
- The Ukrainians lost twice in 5 meetings;
- The British have a 10-match series without defeats;
- The team of the" three lions " won 9 meetings out of 10;
- England does not concede goals in their own goal for 6 consecutive matches;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the opponents ended with a score of 0:0.
Forecast
The Ukrainian national team has not lost to its opponent in any of the previous five matches with a difference of more than 1.5 goals. This suggests that every time the Ukrainians give battle to their opponent, and this time we will see the same thing.
