Ukraine hosts Northern Ireland in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Thursday, June 3rd at Dnipro-Arena (Dnipro)
Andriy Shevchenko's team continues to collect draws with a score of 1-1. The last four matches with the participation of the Ukrainian national team ended with this very outcome. Moreover, the Ukrainians have not won since October 2020. Then the team beat Spain in the Nations League match (1-0). It was the only victory for Ukraine in the last 10 matches. Interestingly, Shevchenko's team was unable to maintain the advantage in two out of four drawn matches. It happened in the games with Kazakhstan and Finland. And the Ukrainians had to win back in the matches against Bahrain and France.

Northern Ireland has similar poor statistics. The Green and White Army could not win eight matches in a row. Only the last game against Malta ended with the victory of Ian Baraclough’s charges (3-0). Beyond that, Northern Ireland lost six times during that eight-game winless streak. And the team didn’t manage to score more than one goal in any of those matches. In half of them, the Green and White Army could not score at all.
In the first two head-to-head confrontations, Ukraine did not experience difficulties with Northern Ireland (two victories in the qualification for the 1998 World Cup). But then the Northern Irishmen were more unyielding. At the qualification for Euro 2000, the teams tied two times, and the Green and White Army gained victory in the main stage of Euro 2016. On average, Ukraine has scored 0.8 goals per game in its last 10 games. The Ukrainians experience particular difficulties with conversion in the first half. In only two of the last ten matches, Andriy Shevchenko's team was able to score in the first 45 minutes. Northern Ireland has conceded in the first half in two of the last five games. And the visitors are unlikely to concede in the first part of the match once again.
Prediction for the match: Ukraine to score under 0.5 goals in the first half
