Hi Guys, I'm Akshay, a sports enthusiast and a passionate sports tipster.

Stadio Olimpico in Rome will serve as the host for the last quarterfinal between Ukraine and England on 4th July 2021 at 00:30 IST. England has the odds in their favor to win the match and make it to the semifinals.

Teams Status

Ukraine

Ukraine are coming into this fixture after beating Sweden in the Round of 16 in extra time. They were the underdogs going into that match but went a goal up in the mid first half in the form of Oleksandr Zinchenko. This happiness lasted for just 15 minutes as Sweden equalized in the first half itself. It stayed 1-1 at the end of 90 minutes as well. And an early red card in extra time for Sweden handed the advantage to Ukraine, who managed to find the back of the net in the injury time of extra time. They came into the knockouts as one of the third placed teams, as they finished in third place with just three points. They have scored six goals and have conceded six goals in the four matches that they have played. Andriy Yarmalenko and Roman Yamerchuk are the leading goal scorers for the team with two goals each. Yarmalenko also has two assists to his name. For the match against England, Artem Besedin is likely to sit out due to injury and Shevchenko might field the same starting XI.

England

England on the other hand has knocked out Germany from the Euros in the Round of 16 which meant that all the four teams from the group of death are officially out of the tournament. They started the first half cautiously and did not concede any goal. And the second half is where they went all guns blazing and scored their first goal in the 75th minute in the form of Raheem Sterling. Then Harry Kane scored his first of the tournament and handed them an emphatic 2-0 win. The super sub Jack Grealish was instrumental in both the goals that they scored. They are continuing their run of low scoring games as they did in the group stages where they scored just two goals in three matches and did not concede any. Raheem Sterling is their top goal scorer with three of the four goals under his belt. Jack Grealish leads the assists list with two assists to his name. Gareth Southgate might switch to the 4-3-3 combination as the Ukraine threat is straight up front rather than the wings.

Tipster’s Angle

This could be yet another low-scoring thriller as England miserly concedes any goal. Also, England are on the easier side of the bracket and they will fancy their chances to win the match against Ukraine.

Tip: England To Win @ 1.42

In the last five head to head matches, England has won two matches, Ukraine has won just one match and the other two matches ended in a draw. Also, Ukraine’s win against England came way back in 2009. In the last ten matches that England has played across competitions, they have won nine and drew just one match. They have defeated the likes of Croatia, the Czech Republic and Germany building up to this match. In the last ten matches that Ukraine has played across competitions, they have won four matches and drew four and lost two matches. Both their last two losses came in the Euros this season. So, it is likely that England will win the match at 1.42 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: Both Teams To Score – No @ 1.55

In the last five head to head matches, both teams failed to score a goal in three of those matches. The most recent head to head match ended in a 0-0 draw. In the last ten matches that England had played across competitions, both teams failed to score in as many as nine of those matches. While Ukraine has seen both teams not scoring in three of the last six matches that they have played across competitions. In the Euros, England has kept a clean sheet in all four matches and has been playing some good defensive football in the tournament so far. So, it is likely that either one team will keep a clean sheet at 1.55 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

England are one of the favorites to make it to the finals and they can make it without much effort as they might face Denmark or the Czech Republic. Ukraine on the other hand has an uphill task cut out for them here against England.
