Topbets will be taking a preview of these two clashes on our daily prediction.
Ukraine Vs. England
This weekend, the last 8 in Euro 2020 will see Ukraine take on England at the Stadio Olimpico. Ukraine started the campaign with a disappointing result of a 3-2 defeat against the Netherlands but in the second match, they were back to the contest with a 2-1 victory over North Macedonia. In the third match, they lost 1-0 against Austria, they progressed to the quarter-finals with a 2-1 over ten-man Sweden. The Blue and Yellow were held 1-1 draw in regular time which forced the match to enter extra-time only Artem Dovbyk to put Ukraine through with a goal on the 120th minute.
The Three Lions, on the other hand, qualified to this stage with 10 points after winning thrice and registered a barren draw against Scotland in the second match of the campaign.
England cruised through to the quarter-finals with a 2-0 win against soccer giants Germany in a most anticipated and thrilling showdown. Despite having a low ball possession they were able to capitalize on the mistakes of their opponents while attacking they looked more dangerous than their counterparts. As for the awaited last 8, the Three Lions are heading favorites and soccer fans are expected to come out to support their teams.
In the last four encounters, these teams have met thrice in World Cup Qualifiers UEFA and once in European Championship. England were able to register a narrow 1-0 against the Blue and Yellow in the Euro 2012 while Ukraine beat the ten-man England 1-0 in the WC Qualifiers back 2009. The previous match ended in a barren draw.
Our Topbets pundit is predicting a win for England.
