Ukraine faces Austria in round 3 of the Euro group stage. The match will be played on Monday, June 21st at Arena Națională (Bucharest)
Ukraine was able to finally interrupt its unsuccessful streak at the continental championships. The Yellow-Blues gained their last victory at the EURO in 2012. Then Andriy Shevchenko was on the field and scored a double against the Swedes. After that 2-1 win, the Ukrainians lost six times in a row, including a defeat to the Netherlands in the current tournament in Amsterdam. But at the same time, the Yellow-Blues showed nice football against the Dutch, having even managed to win back from a 0-2 score. The match against North Macedonia again pleased the fans with two goals. Yarmolenko opened the scoring and then assisted Yaremchuk. Still, it was not without hassle. After the break, the Macedonians improved their game. Pandev earned a penalty because the defenders had to think faster. Bushchan turned the shot from the spot away, but no one prevented Alioski from hoovering up. The Ukrainians had a chance to save themselves from a pulse-pounding ending, but Malinovskyi didn’t outplay the goalkeeper from the spot. Nevertheless, Ukraine has gained its first victory at the EURO since 2012.

The national team of Austria is still showing about the same game as its opponent in the dispute for the 2nd place. Franco Foda's charges started with a victory over the quartet's outsider, North Macedonia. But that match turned out to be more complicated. Opening the score, Bachmann and the defense allowed Pandev to respond with his ball. And Das Team was able to put the squeeze on the opposition only in the last quarter of an hour. As a result, the Austrians won 3-1, but perhaps it would be better if Arnautovic did not score his third goal. The eccentric forward could not restrain himself, insulted the opponent, and was disqualified for one match. Without Marco, Franco Foda's charges didn’t create much danger in the box of Stekelenburg on Thursday. The Netherlands won a comfortable victory in the end. Dumfries first earned a penalty, which Depay converted. And then Memphis began a quick attack, and Denzel had only to shoot past the goalkeeper. Oranje had even more chances but calmly won 2-0 and can prepare for the knockout rounds. According to additional indicators, the Austrians are ranked third, but are they not so happy with this? The second position promises a confrontation against Italy in the 1/8 finals...
Bookmakers assume that the fans will see a draw, which will suit both sides. But they will probably not leave the field without goals scored, especially since the Yellow-Blues play spectacular football at the Euro. We are waiting for Over 2.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals scored
