Ukraine vs. Macedonia: Preview and betting tips

Ukraine will face a crucial match on Thursday in the fight for promotion from the group. They will face Macedonia, the clear outsider of the group, in the European Championship.

Ukraine entered the tournament with a loss to the Netherlands. Five goals were scored in the second half, the Ukrainians erased a two-goal deficit, but they scored for the third time in the end and did not have time to react.

Macedonia enjoyed their first match at a major tournament. They scored a goal against Austria and although they lost, their performance was not disappointing. However, they will want to take at least a point against Ukraine.

The mainstay of the Ukrainians is Roman Yaremchuk, he scored 19 goals at club level, against the Netherlands he scored both goals (1+1). Defender Oleks Zinchenko and goalkeeper Georgiy Bushchan are also in good form.

Goran Pandev is a legend in Macedonia, the 37-year-old striker scored seven goals in Italy this season and also scored in the first Euro match against Austria. Eljif Elmas and Ezgjan Alioski are also mainstays.

Ukraine will miss the injured Tsygankov, Macedonia should be complete.

Ukraine can break the record on Thursday, but not very positive. After all, it has lost six games in a row at the Euro and is tied for first place with Yugoslavia in that statistic.

Also playing in the Macedonians’ favor is the fact that they have lost just once in their last four games against the Ukrainians (2-1-1).

Considering the quality of Ukraine’s offense, I think they will manage to win the game and score at least two goals at the same time.
