Hi guys!
In the first round of selection on the European championship combined Ukraine should pass the most difficult test in a match with Portugal, the prediction for which we offer further.
Portugal
Despite a departure at a stage 1/8 finals of the World Cup, Portugal still is one of the strongest European national teams. You should not forget that the team Fernand Santush at the moment carries a rank of the champion of Europe. On the FIFA World Cup Portugal took off, we will remind, from the national team of Uruguay (1:2).
But in the company of Italians and Poles Portuguese won first place in the League of Nations. The Santush team won against Italy 1:0 and drew 0:0. Beat Poles on departure 3:2, and at home dispersed the world 1:1.
Though Portugal in a new century constantly leaves in final parts of the World Cup and Europe, the selection cycles "selesao" do not do without adventures recently. In qualification to Euro-2016 Portuguese in the first tour lost houses of Albania (0:1), and to the FIFA World Cup the Santusha team in the first game gave way in qualification to Switzerland (0:2).
Nevertheless, in both cases Portugal won all remained matches, winning first place. Houses in the previous selection Santush's wards beat Andorra (6:0), Latvia (3:1), Hungary (3:0), the Faroe Islands (5:1) and Switzerland (2:0).
Only the midfielder Bruna Fernandesci is injured in Portuguese national team.
Ukraine
After failure in selection on the World Cup, the national team of Ukraine changed. "Blue-yellow" lost in 11 subsequent matches only once. Moreover, Andrey Shevchenko's team managed to win the group in the League of Nations and to raise in division "A". Ukraine beat Czech (2:1 and 1:0) twice, defeated Slovak 1:0 then it lost to this national team in nothing a decisive match (1:4).
Ukrainians underwent the previous selection on the European championship, through a grid of the playoffs having got on a final part of a tournament. However in a qualification cycle on the World Cup Ukraine won only five of ten matches. On a visit Shevchenko's wards won against Finland (2:1) and Kosovo (2:0), drew with Turkey (2:2), and lost to Croatia (0:1) and Iceland (0:2).
The main loss of the national team of Ukraine before this match is the top scorer Andrey Yarmolenko. Also by Artem Besedin and Victor Kovalenko the team not will not be able to be helped.
Statistics and personal meetings
- A safe series of Portugal is equal to six matches, including friendly.
- Houses Portuguese won nine of ten previous official meetings.
- Ukraine lost only one of 11 past duels, including friendly.
- The bet "played in four of five last matches "blue-yellow" total less than 2.5".
- At ten previous official guest meetings Ukrainians won four times.
- To this qualification Ukraine and Portugal played in selection at a WC of 1998. Then "blue-yellow" won houses 2:1, and on departure lost 0:1.
Despite the status "underdog", Andrey Shevchenko's team definitely will give battle to Portuguese. Even one gained point at this meeting will be to Ukraine quite good result. Therefore, let also without several leaders, but present Ukraine represents rather quite good collective.
In such duel of Shevchenko, without doubts, will construct a game from defense. As too it is difficult to call Portugal productive collective, here it is possible to put on a local match.
Portugal - Ukraine Total Less Than 2,5 with 1,75 for 5% of bank
