Slovakia vs Ukraine Prediction: 21/6/2024

After a surprising victory over Belgium in their opener, thanks to Ivan Schranz’s decisive goal, Slovakia aims to continue their winning streak when they take on Ukraine in their second group match. The Slovaks are targeting their fourth consecutive win across all competitions, but coach Francesco Calzona needs to ensure his team remains focused and avoids complacency. There are no new injury concerns for the team, though forward Ivan Schranz is one yellow card away from suspension.

Ukraine, on the other hand, delivered a disappointing performance in their 3-0 defeat to Romania, leaving them with low morale ahead of their trip to Düsseldorf. Both Andriy Yarmolenko and Ruslan Malinovsky are vying for a place in the starting lineup, while Everton left-back Vitalii Mykolenko is in a race against time to be fit for Friday’s clash. Given Ukraine’s need for a win, an exciting match is expected with both teams likely to score.

Prediction: 1-1
