Ukraine vs Belgium Prediction and Betting Tips | June 26, 2024

Ukraine and Belgium go head-to-head in their final group game of UEFA Euro 2024 at the MHPArena in Stuttgart on Wednesday (June 26). Both knockout stage spots are up for grabs in Group E, as all four teams have three points each.

The Blue and Yellow fell to a 3-0 loss to Romania in their campaign opener but bounced back with a comeback 2-1 win over Slovakia last week. Mykola Shaparenko equalised in the 54th minute before substitute Roman Yaremchuk scored the winner 10 minutes from time.

Belgium, meanwhile, suffered a shock 1-0 loss to Slovakia in their campaign opener but beat Romania 2-0 last week. Youri Tielemans gave an early lead in the second minute before captain Kevin De Bruyne doubled their lead in the 80th minute.

The winner of this match will progress to the next round from Group E alongside the winner in the clash between Romania and Slovakia. If both games end in draws, things will get a little complicated, with goal difference, goals scored and head-to-head record coming into play.

Ukraine vs Belgium Prediction

Ukraine are coming off their first comeback win in the European Championship since 2012. No changes to their starting XI are expected from head coach Serhiy Rebrov.

Belgium, meanwhile, were not very effective in the final third. Romelu Lukaku had a goal ruled out by VAR after he was denied twice in the campaign opener against Slovakia.

They have scored at least twice in four of their last seven Euro finals games. Witsel is the only injury concern for boss Domenico Tedesco, while Dodi Lukebakio will serve a suspension after being booked twice in two games.

Belgium have the better squad quality, and considering their superior experience in this tournament, expect them to come out on top.

Prediction: Ukraine 1-2 Belgium
