Slovakia (4-3-3):

Dúbravka; Pekarík, Vavro, Škriniar, Hancko; Kucka, Lobotka, Duda; Schranz, Boženík, Haraslin.

Ukraine (4-3-3):

Trubin; Tymchyk, Zabarnyi, Matviyenko, ⚾️ Zinchenko; Shaparenko, Brazhko, Sudakov; Yarmolenko, Mudryk, Dovbyk.

Few would have anticipated Slovakia beating Belgium nor Ukraine being brushed aside ⚾️ by Romania. The opening round results make this an extremely important fixture for both. Slovakia could seal progress to the ⚾️ knockout stages with a win, whereas Ukraine need a victory, especially with the Belgians to come, to give them a ⚾️ chance of getting out of the group.

Slovakia have strong foundations with David Hancko and Milan Škriniar at the back, leaving ⚾️ them confident of keeping a clean sheet against most and nicking a goal, as Belgium found out to their cost. ⚾️ If they can match their performance from the start of the week, then they will be optimistic of repeating the ⚾️ result.

Ukraine will be hurting after the humbling but there is plenty of quality available to Serhiy Rebrov. If he manages ⚾️ to get the best out of Georgiy Sudakov and Mykhailo Mudryk, Ukraine will look a very different prospect. The Shakhtar ⚾️ Donetsk man is tipped for a big-money move sooner rather than later, while the Chelsea winger already secured his, showing ⚾️ flashes of what he can do in the Premier League.

It should be an intriguing watch.
