The National Arena in Bucharest will serve as the host for the round three match between Ukraine and Austria on 21st June at 21:30 IST. Surprisingly the odds are favoring the match to end in a draw. But a win for either side will seal the second spot for them.

Teams Status

Ukraine

Ukraine bounced back really well after the defeat against the Netherlands in the opening match and are currently in the second position with three points just ahead of Austria on the number of goals scored as they have the same goal difference. They started off brilliantly against Macedonia and went 2-0 up early in the first half courtesy of goals from Andriy Yarmalenko and Roman Yamerchuk. Both of them doubled their goals tally to two goals in two matches. They were unbeaten in the group as they accumulated 20 points from the eight matches that they played and won six matches and drew two matches. They finished three points clear on the top in the group consisting of the heavyweights like Portugal. They would want to bring their A-game to this match and seal a top to finish.

Austria

Austria finished in the second position in their European Championship qualification group. They had won six matches, drawn one and lost three matches in the ten matches that they played, accumulating 19 points in the process. They carried their momentum into this tournament and started off brilliantly against North Macedonia, which they won by a 3-1 margin. But they fumbled in the second match against the Netherlands. They conceded an early penalty and could not get a goal back in the first half. On top of that, they conceded a second goal which handed them a 2-0 defeat. They would want to bounce back from this defeat to finish in second place and make it to the knockouts. A draw here for them could also see them make the knockouts.

Tipster’s Angle

As the odds suggest, this match could end in a draw as this looks like an even contest. Apart from that, this could also be a high scoring thriller as these two teams have provided in recent times.

Tip: Total Goals Over 2 @ 2.11

In the last two head to head matches, a total of eight goals were scored at an average of four goals per match. And over two goals were scored in both the last two head to head matches. In the last ten matches that Ukraine has played across competitions, two goals were scored in just one match, while four matches had exactly two goals. They had over two goals in both the matches that they played this Euros. While Austria on the other hand have seen under two goals in just two of their last ten matches. In the Euros, they had over two goals in one match and exactly two goals in the other. So, it is very likely that at least two goals will be scored at 2.11 odds available at the Dafabet sportsbook.

Tip: Both Teams To Score @ 2.00

In the last two head to head matches, both teams managed to score in both the matches. In the Euros this season, both teams scored in both the matches that Ukraine played. And both teams scored in one of the two matches that they played. In the last ten matches that Ukraine had played across competitions, both teams scored in seven of those matches. While Austria have seen both teams scoring in five of those matches. Ukraine have scored four goals and have conceded four goals this season and Austria have scored three and conceded three goals in two matches. So, it is very likely that both teams will score at 2.00 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

Both teams have an equal chance of making it to the second place, but a draw will play advantage for Ukraine as they have scored more goals than Austria. A draw also means that Austria will also have four points and could make it through as one of the four best teams.
