Following a disappointing goalless draw with Liechtenstein, Romania will seek to lift their spirits in their EURO 2024 opener against Ukraine.
The Tricolori have failed to win their last four friendly matches, making a home victory seem unlikely. Veteran midfielder Nicolae Stanciu is expected to return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench against Liechtenstein.
In contrast, Ukraine looks to recover from a 3-1 loss to Poland. A bright spot for the visitors is the return of Chelsea star Mykhailo Mudryk from injury. With key players Oleksandr Zinchenko, Viktor Tsygankov, and Artem Dovbyk all fit for the match, we favor Sergiy Rebrov’s squad. Notably, this will be the first time these two national teams face each other in a European Championship.
Prediction: 1-2.
