In a crucial group stage match at Euro 2024, Ukraine faces Belgium. Both teams have 3 points, making this a pivotal game for qualification to the knockout stage.
Ukraine Team News
Ukraine secured a win against Slovakia but has a -2 goal difference, putting them in a tough spot even for the third place (partly giving some hopes for them to get qualified for the knock-out stage). Given the possibility that Slovakia and Romania might play for a draw to both advance, Ukraine will be compelled to go for a win to keep their qualification hopes alive. Unfortunately, Ukraine, compared to Belgium is not from the same level but at least the motivation in the Eastern European team is big and that might force them to achieve something more.
Belgium Team News
Belgium won against Romania and is known for their direct, attacking play. They aim to secure the top spot in the group, which could place them in a potentially easier knockout bracket. Belgium’s offensive strength and urgency to win should serve them well in this match. The only negative outcome in this group can come if Belgium lose a game for a second time. However, the team is full of superstars and I hardly doubt they will allow a second game like the one with Slovakia.
Head-to-Head-Games
Interesting is the fact that both teams haven’t met yet in an official competition. This is going to be their first match in the modern history of Ukraine and it will be very interesting for the fans to see how both teams will play the match.
Ukraine – Belgium Betting Prediction
As Ukraine needs to push for a victory, they might leave spaces at the back, which the Red Devils can exploit with their direct attacking style. Belgium’s motivation to secure the top spot in order to play against a better opponent in the next phase and their stronger squad make them favourites for this match. Betting on Belgium to win is a logical choice based on the current scenario and the odds are also pretty nice to be followed.
