Match Preview
The national team performed very confidently in the qualifiers without suffering a single defeat. Sure, they faced a fairly straightforward group without any grandees, but it is also worth noting that they defeated a formidable Switzerland by five points. However, in friendly matches on the eve of the Euro, the “tricolor” did not impress at all. The goalless draws against Bulgaria and Liechtenstein are clearly not what the fans expected. Jordanescu's protege had many moments, but problems with finishing did not allow him to achieve the desired results. I wonder if the Romanians will solve them during the group stage. After all, their main stars are not located in the offensive line – these are Tottenham defender Dragushin, goalkeeper Moldovan (Atletico) and midfielder Stancu (Damac).

The Yellow and Blue are the dark horse of the European Championship. In recent years, a large number of Ukrainians have played in the leading European championships, so the level of the national team has increased, as expected. At the last Euro, the team reached the quarterfinals and is quite capable of repeating or even surpassing that success. Although it is worth noting that Ukraine made its way to the tournament with adventures. In the qualifying group, Sergei Rebrov's men took only 3rd place, skipping ahead of England and Italy, so they were forced to join the League of Nations. Both during the semi-final against Bosnia and during the final against Iceland, they lost in the score, but pulled out the matches on character, winning both with a score of 2-1.

Goaloo Prediction
Obviously, Ukraine has shown significant improvement as it approaches the level of the top national teams. The selection of players from the yellow-blues is excellent, and they are considered the favorite in the match against Romania quite rightly. We believe Rebrov's guys will be able to justify this status by winning 2-1.

But we will not risk getting into the outcome, because the Romanians, who showed themselves well in qualifying, are able to surprise. Let's focus on small markets and focus on the option with a total of more than 3.5 yellow cards. The statistics of both teams indicate a confident approach, and the status and importance of the upcoming match should contribute to it.

Pick: Yellow Cards - Total Over(3.5)
