Ukraine – Belgium Prediction

All four sides have chance to qualify for the knockout stage from Group E. Ukraine have the worst situation. They’re 4th, because they were beaten by Romania (0:3). However, a win in the game versus Slovakia should bring confidence to the players.

Besides, the situation makes Ukraine play only to win, without hoping that a draw is enough, too. If after the 3rd round all teams will be tied on points, Ukraine will finish 4th. This is why they’re supposed to be highly motivated. Unlike Belgium, as they only need 1 point.

Ukraine have been performing well recently. The side has only lost 2 out of their last 11 official games (7 wins and 2 draws). Slovakia has already proved that you can play against Belgium. Romelu Lukaku still can’t score a goal. He missed 4 opportunities to score in the first two rounds. And he’s still the key forward.

Our prediction is Ukraine to win or a Draw at 2.20 .
