Group E’s final kick-off for match day three, sees the ‘Synio-Zhovti’ face off against the ‘Red Devils’ as four separate teams, all with three points, play 90 minutes of football to see who goes through and who goes out. While Ukraine will be looking to advance past their Euro 2000 finish at the Quarter Final stage, they have endured a mixed-set of results, requiring the playoffs to qualify for the competition, before getting drubbed 3-0 by Romania in the first group game, whereas Belgium’s quarter final finish place for the previous two Euros are a flawless qualifying run that saw several 5-0 victories over other teams, has only been impacted by a shock 1-0 loss to Slovakia on the opening group match day. Let’s see what the bookies are saying about the latest Ukraine vs Belgium odds before these two sides go head to head on the 26th June.
At the time of writing, according to BetVictor, the latest Euro 2024 betting odds, have Ukraine as clear outsiders at odds of 19/5*, where a £10 bet would pay out £48 if correct, while Belgium are favourites at 8/13*, with the same £10 wager returning £16.15. For those who expect the game to end in a draw, the current market price of 29/10* would mean that £10 staked will pay £39 if the game is tied at the end of the 90 minutes. With the two sides meeting only once before, in 2020 where it ended in a draw, perhaps the odds are down to the fact that Belgium currently sit 3rd in the FIFA men’s world rankings, while Ukraine are a fair way below in 22nd place. Either way, with the group all tied on three points and everything to play for, expect a tense match where both sides will do whatever they can to capitalise on the others’ mistakes.
While Ukraine’s head coach, Serhiy Rebrov, will look to his captain, Andriy Yarmolenko, to spur his side on with the help of midfielder Viktor Tsyhankov and striker Roman Yaremchuk, Belgium’s coach, Domenico Tedesco, will turn to his own captain, Kevin de Bruyne and his vice-captain Romelu Lukaku, to bag some goals and take their side through to the round of 16. While the game will be fought closely from both teams, we predict that despite Ukraine’s valiant attempts to get the points, that the Belgian side will do enough to walk away with the win, that is to say if they cease having multiple goals disallowed each game, especially at the hands of vice-captain Lukaku.
