+ Comparative Analysis:

>>Competitive Edge:

Czech Republic has a rich footballing history and has produced many talented players but has been less successful in recent major tournaments compared to Ukraine.

>> Domestic Leagues:

Ukraine’s Premier League is highly competitive and features some well-known clubs that perform well in European competitions. Shakhtar Donetsk and Dynamo Kyiv are strong teams with significant international experience.

Czech Republic’s Fortuna Liga is competitive within its region and has strong clubs, but it doesn’t have the same level of international profile as Ukraine’s top clubs.

 

+Conclusion:

Both the Czech Republic and Ukraine have strong footballing traditions and competitive leagues, but there are notable differences in their recent performances and international profiles. Ukraine generally holds an edge in recent international success and league competitiveness, largely due to its strong domestic clubs and higher FIFA ranking. The Czech Republic has a rich football history and a well-regarded domestic league, with a focus on technical skill and youth development. Both countries are important footballing nations in Eastern Europe, each contributing to the region’s footballing landscape in unique ways.

 

I think there were three goals up.

Predictions | UEFA European Championship

 

 

Head to head

The last league contest featuring these sides was WC Qualifiers - Europe match day 8 on 05/09/2017 when the final score was Iceland 2-0 Ukraine.

 

On that occasion, Iceland managed 37% possession and 11 shots at goal with 3 on target. Their only player on the scoresheet was Gylfi Þór Sigurðsson (47', 66').

 

For their opponents, Ukraine got 13 shots at goal with 5 of them on target

 

Prediction

For this match, we think that Ukraine will more than likely get the win and a possible clean sheet when they meet Iceland, who won’t find it easy getting on the scoresheet.

 

We’re tipping a comfortable 2-0 winning margin for Ukraine when all’s said and done.

International Friendly-Germany VS Ukraine

 

 

Germany will host next year's Euro tournament and thus not be involved in the qualifiers. Meanwhile, they will play a friendly match to help prepare for the tournament. Hans-Dieter Flick's accusations have played two friendlies after last year's disappointing world cup campaign. They beat Peru 2-0 but lost 3-2 to Belgium in the space of three days during the last international window in March.

 

Ukraine lost their opening qualifier against England and will be looking to bounce back when they travel to North Macedonia next weekend. A win against Germany will see them beaming with confidence going into that Group C encounter. Ukraine have never beaten Germany in the four matches they have played against each other, including a build match. Their best result was a 3-3 draw in 2011.

 

Both teams have firepower in attack and were able to score more than one goal which is evident from their respective previous fixtures.

UEFA Nations League- Ukraine vs Armenia

 

Pick:1x2   Ukraine  @1.22

 

Analysis:

The match between Ukraine vs Armenia for the UEFA Nations League competition is scheduled to be played on 11 June, 2022. The match kicks off at 14:00 UK time. It will take place at the Stadion Miejski LKS Lodz, in Łódź.

 

Ukraine

Ukraine are on a run of one defeat in 10 games since Euro 2020. A 1-0 win over the Republic of Ireland on Wednesday meant the Ukraine bounced back brilliantly from the disappointment of failing to qualify for the World Cup after losing their play-off to Wales. Each of his four wins have come away from home, and this match is being played at a neutral venue in Poland due to the war in Ukraine.

 

Armenia

Armenia have had a meteoric rise of late, earning promotions in both Nations League campaigns so far, but they remain as low as 92nd place in the FIFA rankings. That is down to a poor run of just two wins in 13 games, with each of those victories coming at home. On the road, they have lost five of the last seven and are winless in eight.

 

Verdict

The Blue and Yellows have never lost to Armenia, winning five of their eight meetings, although they have not faced each other since 2003. I predict that Ukraine will win this game with at least two goals in the 90 minutes.
