Ukraine began their Euro 2024 campaign with a disappointing 3-0 loss to Romania in their opening match. However, they still have a chance to advance from Group E with fixtures against Slovakia and Belgium. Despite the setback in the first match, Ukraine remains second favorites to progress due to the perceived weaker competition of Romania and Slovakia.
In Matchweek One, Ukraine will face off against Belgium, who present the biggest challenge in their group. The two teams have met six times before, with an even record of three wins each, including a draw that was decided on penalties. Despite their competitive history, the matches between Ukraine and Belgium have been high-scoring, with a total of 24 goals in just six games.
In Matchweek Two, Ukraine will travel to Düsseldorf Arena to play Slovakia. These two nations have a history of five meetings in the past nine years, with results evenly split between two wins for each side and a goalless draw in a past European Championships qualifier. This match promises to be closely contested as both teams look to secure their place in the knockout stages of Euro 2024.
Finally, in Matchweek Three, Ukraine will face off against Belgium for the first time ever at Stuttgart Arena. This match adds an element of unpredictability as both teams fight for their spot in the knockout stages of Euro 2024. With both teams determined to succeed, it’s sure to be an exciting game that will determine which team advances from Group E and competes for glory on the international stage.
