Ukraine went unbeaten as they topped their Euro 2020 qualifying group – one that included Portugal – so they certainly have the pedigree to cause an upset. 26 in the world, Ukraine have lost just two of their last 19 European Championship qualifying matches (W13 D4), and if anyone is to disrupt the England-Italy one-two at the top of Group C, it’ll be them. Ukraine have never beaten England away from home in four previous attempts (D1 元), with this their first away game on English soil since September 2012, a 1-1 draw in a World Cup qualifier.Įqually, they are no slouches.
Rotan will be managing in his first competitive game for Ukraine in this one and history tells us it won’t be an easy place to start. Ukraine were the only side in European Qualification Group C not to play in the first round of fixtures, so we’ve not yet seen what this iteration of Ukraine look like caretaker-manager Ruslan Rotan. It was the first time since 1961 that the Three Lions had won away against the Azzurri, but goals from Declan Rice and Harry Kane were enough to see England over the line – despite a late red card for left-back Luke Shaw.
England return to Wembley Stadium after a great win in Italy to kick off their Euro 2024 campaign, this time hosting Ukraine.
