Ukraine national team performed well in the first match, so today they need to play even better to secure a win, otherwise, their play-off hopes will be just a dream.
Our prediction - Ukraine to win
We are expecting a maximum concentration on defense from North Macedonia, who will play on counter-attacks and will try to find a chance on standarts. We think that Ukraine will be able to break the opponent's defense, but we don't think that we will see more than one or two goals in this match.
Our second bet is on total under 2,5 goals
