England – Ukraine Betting Tip, Prediction & Odds (26.3.2023)
England started the EURO 2024 Qualifiers on a high note and will look to stay on the right path. The Three Lions are arguably a much better team than Ukraine, so Sunday’s clash at Wembley Stadium should be a one-way street.
England vs. Ukraine: Initial Situation
Ukraine will have a tall task in its first outing in the EURO 2024 Qualifiers. There are five teams in Group C, and four took the pitch on Thursday night. England outlasted Italy 2-1, while North Macedonia defeated Malta 2-1. The top two teams from each qualifying group will make it to the major tournament.
England Stats & Form
The Three Lions grabbed a huge victory on Thursday, beating Italy 2-1 on the road as slight 2.55 favorites. England got revenge for a heartbreaking loss in the EURO 2020, and Harry Kane (81 caps, 54 goals) netted the second goal to become England’s record goal scorer. Luke Shaw was sent off, so he’ll miss Sunday’s battle against Ukraine.
England has won three of its previous four matches along with a 2-1 defeat versus France in the 2022 World Cup quarterfinal. The Three Lions also played in the UEFA Nations League last year, finishing bottom of Group A3 with just three points (D3, L3) and a 4:10 goal difference.
Ukraine Stats & Form
The Blue and Yellow had a bye in the first round of the EURO 2024 Qualifiers, so they played Brentford’s B team on Thursday, grabbing a 2-0 victory. It was their fourth victory in seven matches along with one loss and a couple of draws. Ukraine didn’t appear in the 2022 World Cup while finishing second in the 2022-23 UEFA Nations League Group B1.
Keep your eyes on Chelsea’s attacking midfielder Mykhailo Mudryk (eight caps), who’s arguably the most gifted youngster in this Ukraine team. Oleksandr Zinchenko (52 caps, eight goals) and Ruslan Malinovskyi (51 caps, seven goals) will continue to work hard in the middle of the park, while Roman Yaremchuk (42 caps, 13 goals) should lead the frontline.
England – Ukraine: Head-to-Head
England and Ukraine met each other in the EURO 2020 Quarterfinal, and the Three Lions trounced the Blue and Yellow 4-0. Harry Kane scored a brace, while Luke Shaw made a couple of dishes. In eight meetings with Ukraine, England has recorded five wins, two draws, and a loss.
England – Ukraine Odds
The Three Lions are massive favorites to earn three points. The best offer is 1.32 at Unibet Sportsbook at the moment. Ukraine will have a mountain to climb at Wembley Stadium, and Both Teams to Score NO pays 1.60 at bet365 Sportsbook. The bookmakers are expecting a few goals in Ukraine’s net, as Over 2.5 Goals sits at 1.70 odds.
The Blue and Yellow own a few quality players, but it’s hard to expect them to get anything from this clash. If you are looking for an upset, Both Teams to Score YES is probably the best bet. England has one of the most dangerous strikers in the world in Harry Kane, and the Three Lions should create a ton of scoring opportunities, so I’m taking England AH -1.5 at 1.89 with Unibet.
