Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Euro 2024 match.
Ukraine
After a failure in the first round (0:3 versus Belgium), Ukraine braced themselves in the second game. They conceded a goal in the beginning of the game against Slovakia but managed to win that game. Now they basically need a point to advance. They would need a point, to be precise. However, all teams are tied on points in this group. And Ukraine are 4th prior to this game. It only means that they have to win to be calm.
Belgium
Belgium beat Romania (2:0). And even in the second game they saw how VAR disallowed their goal, how Lukaku kept on wasting his moments. The side is somehow enraged by the circumstances around their matches. They could have been completely calm prior to this round, yet now they should do their best to advance to the knockout phase from a convenient position.
Ukraine – Belgium prediction
I guess that Belgium will have a lead right from the start. They were disappointed after the first match. They couldn’t be very glad about the result of the second one. Now they will use all their strength to beat the last opponent in the group stage. Ukraine won’t manage to leave the pitch unbeaten.
