The visitors are in Group E of the Euro 2024 while Germany, the hosts for this edition, are in Group A.

Germany vs Ukraine Prediction
Die Mannschaft have won their two friendlies in 2024 with an aggregate score of 4-1 and will look to continue that form here. They have an unbeaten record in this fixture, scoring 17 goals in the last six games, and are strong favorites.
The Blue and Yellow have enjoyed a five-game unbeaten run in all competitions, recording four wins. Interestingly, their only loss in their last 10 games came against Italy in September.
Both managers are expected to experiment with the starting XIs in this match and will likely make multiple substitutions throughout the game, to avoid injuries. With that in mind, and considering the recent form of the two teams, they are expected to settle for a high-scoring draw.
Prediction: Germany 2-2 Ukraine
