Romania vs Ukraine Prediction
Romania have won only one game in the final stage of the European Championships. The side can hardly expect to improve the result. They lack talented players who would be a key part of a strong European side. They were lucky enough in their qualifying campaign as only Switzerland were really strong. Now, they will have to face Belgium and Ukraine.
The qualifying group that contained Ukraine was way stronger. There were champions and runner-up of the previous edition of the European Championship. Ukraine could have finished second, but the fact they had to play their home games at neutral venues took its toll. The youngest team of this Euro with many talented players, who have been performing in top leagues. Artem Dovbyk has already become the La Liga top scorer this season. Ukraine usually play successfully against some average and weak European sides, losing mostly only in the games versus top teams.
Belgium will be the main opponent. Romania and Slovakia can hardly be a problem.
Our prediction is Ukraine to win at 1,95.
