The spotlight is on Ukraine and England when they go toe-to-toe at Stadion Miejski, Wroclaw, for an exciting match this coming Saturday. It is one of the many matches in round five of the European Championship group stage, with teams fighting to secure qualification.

England celebrated two wins against Ukraine in their most recent meetings, outclassing their next opponent by 2-0 and 4-0. Gareth Southgate's men actually had a strong reading on Ukraine with no defeats in five meetings since 2012. Only once in nine meetings did England come up short against Ukraine.

With the fourth round of the group stage done and dusted Ukraine are number two on six points. Meanwhile, England sit as number one with 12 points to their name.

England take on Ukraine as number four, whereas the home side sit as number 24 in the FIFA world ranking.

Winning their group is probably too much to expect now for Ukraine. While not impossible, with the pace England has set from the start, it seems highly unlikely, "Three Lions" will end up surrendering that lead.

The English national side is one of four team to have started the qualifying round with nothing but wins in four rounds. As such, they look a formidable opponent for Ukraine, who faces the disadvantage of not being able to play in their own country.

Ukraine vs England Prediction

Ukraine Form

Ukraine should be high on confidence, as their last three matches saw them gain seven points. They started off drawing 3-3 with Germany, before beating first North Macedonia by 2-3, then Malta in a 1-0 win. Ukraine won half of their previous six internationals, while also drawing two. They lost one, while they scored 12 and conceded seven goals.

England Form

England look fabulous with three wins on the trot, starting off against Ukraine, who were defeated by 2-0. Then, Malta got outclassed in a 0-4 win, before beating North Macedonia by 7-0. England picked up five wins in their six most recent internationals, while scoring 19 and conceding three goals. They also drew zero draws as well as being defeated one defeat times.

Both sides seem very focused on keeping things tight and, we believe a low scoring match is on the menu, as England travel to Stadion Miejski, Wroclaw to face Ukraine.

Ukraine have not lost in three consecutive games.

England won their last four matches on the bounce.

Look no further than Viktor Tsigankov, when searching for a marksman currently in good shape. He hit the target four times lately for Ukraine in the European Championship, while Harry Kane managed seven goals in the last half dozen matches for England in this tournament.

Tips

Under 2.5

Neither England nor Ukraine score many goals, but they are decent at keeping things tight at the back, and we don't see a goal fest happening at Stadion Miejski, Wroclaw.

England to win

Bookmakers have England down as rather big favourites for the win against Ukraine. While the hosts will obviously come out fighting, we still think the visitors will prevail in the end.
