We now know the last two teams to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Euro21. England vs Ukraine. On Tuesday evening, Southgate’s men won their ticket for the quarters against Germany by 2-0 (Raheem Sterling 75’ and Harry Kane 86’) at the Wembley Stadium in London.
In the same night, Andriy Shevchenko’s formation was able to crumble Sweden’s defense reduced to 10 with a goal of Artem Dovbyk in the ultimate minutes of overtime, winning the ticket to face England in their first-ever quarter-final in the Euro.
This match will be held this Saturday 03 July 2021 at the Olympico Stadium in Rome at 21:00.
Ukraine
Ukraine has won its spot for their first-ever quarter-finals of this euro. Despite barely making it out of the group phase (1 match won and 2 defeats) Andriy Shevchenko’s men had secured their pass for the round of 16. Faced with Sweden on Tuesday evening, they had to go all out. After an intensive 90 minutes played and faced with overtime, Artem Dovbyk pulled off the winning goal after the expulsion of Marcus Danielson in the late minutes of overtime, giving them the pass to face England in the quarters.
England
After finishing at the top of their group stage (2 victories and 1 draw). England faced no real difficulties accessing the round of 16 stage. The Southgate’s selection had to face Germany in what was to be one of the most awaited matches of the competition. In front of their fans, the “Three Lions” had to raise their game performance to defeat this strong opponent and succeeded (2-0). They are undoubtedly favorites for this match.
Prediction
I see England having the upper hand in this game. They by far appear to be superior in both their offensive and defensive playing style. Not only the Three Lion squad appears to be more skilled and talented. Also, Ukraine played extra time on Tuesday and not sure if they will have already fully recovered. For these reasons, I will go with England-1.5 AH. The odds for this selection on VIP-IBC is at an average of 1.965.
