England – Ukraine For the 1st matchday of the 3rd group of the Euro 2024 qualifiers, England welcomes Ukraine at Wembley in London. The group is completed by Italy, Malta and Skopje, the first two teams qualify for the finals of the competition.
An impressive debut for England, they prevailed on Thursday night in Napoli, Italy with 2-1 and showed who will be the boss in the group. They got off to an ideal start by opening the scoring in the first quarter and were just lucky to double their tally before the break with a penalty from Kane who made history as he reached 54 goals and became the top scorer in the national team's history. In the second half, with the hosts reacting, they accepted the reduction of the score in the 65th minute and the pressure for the equalizing goal, but they persevered and got the three points.
Ukraine in the last Nations League competing in the B category in a group with Scotland, Ireland and Armenia finished in 2nd place. It even had the chance in the last matchday when it welcomed Scotland with a victory to take the first place and the promotion to the A category, but the 0-0 draw gave promotion to its opponent.
Recently, there was a change in the technical leadership after Petrakov left at the beginning of the year from its bench. The Federation found his replacement in the person of former international Rebrov, who, however, has to expire his contract with Al-Ain in order to officially take over its fortunes, so for the time being he will go with the U21 coach, Rotan.
England entered their obligations in the group strongly and today they want a similar continuation in front of their audience. Ukraine, as competitive as they are, will hardly be able to get something from the match, being in a transition stage and having many young players in their squad. I think England will win today with Kane continuing to score.
Tip: England v Ukraine Harry Kane to score and his team to win odds 2.47
