Ukraine vs Belgium Prediction

This game was played out at UEFA EURO 2024 to boos and criticism from the Belgian supporters as they settled for a goalless draw against Ukraine to finish third in their group, which would eventually lead to a defeat to France in the Round of 16.

The Ukrainians, under the management of Serhiy Rebrov, have a very impressive and still developing squad but, without any home advantage in recent years, they have proved to be inconsistent. They finished their UEFA Nations League League B campaign with two victories, two draws and two defeats in their six matches.

They now face a Belgium side that decided to sack manager Domenico Tedesco after an underwhelming League A campaign, whereby they only finished above automatically relegated Israel on goal difference. Tedesco has been replaced by former Roma, Olympique de Marseille and Napoli manager Rudi Garcia.

This game is being played in the neutral venue of Churra in Spain and that neutrality as well as Belgium’s potential new manager bounce means siding with the Red Devils is the way to go.
