With Ukraine on an unbeaten run at the moment, expect a nerve-cracking and thrilling 90 minutes in Belgrade as Serbia continue their race for a berth at the Euros finals.

Serbia vs Ukraine Team News

The Serbians have been on an envious roller-coaster ride of late with three wins from their last three matches. Last time out, they posted a hard-fought 3-2 win against Luxembourg as they were forced to scrap really hard for the win. They came away with all three points at the death, nonetheless.

The Eagles were by far the better team throughout the whole game, hassling and harrying their opponents and registering a whopping twelve shots on target. However, only three of them found their way past the stubborn opposition goalkeeper.

Ukraine, on the other hand, have established themselves as the best team in the group riding their way to the summit of the standings. It wasn’t an easy ride as they had to coast past the likes of Portugal and Luxembourg – an amazing feat worth lauding.

They are the only Group B outfit to have not tasted defeat so far and are currently on an impressive six-game unbeaten run. It is also worth noting that the visitors have been phenomenal on the road, winning each of their last two away games, the most recent of which was a comfortable 3-0 win over Lithuania.

In addition to these, Andriy Shevchenko’s charges made light work of the Serbians in the reverse fixture and as such can be considered favorites to secure maximum points in this one.

That said, this match doesn’t hold as much importance for the Serbians as it does for the Ukrainians, given that the former have already secured their passage to the Euro finals, thanks to their five-point advantage over second-placed Portugal.

The Yellow and Blue will head into this one without any pressure of sorts, increasing the likelihood of manager Shevchenko fielding a relatively weaker side so as to rest some key players for more pressing and demanding games. Therefore, it is not so safe placing a bet on them to secure maximum points here.

Meanwhile, Serbia will likely be heading into this game with more zeal and determination to succeed, knowing fully well that a win will strengthen their claim for a place at the grand finale of the Euros tournament.

They have been in scintillating form in front of the home crowd, scoring nine of their fifteen goals so far on home soil. Also, the visitors have been pretty decent on their trips, registering five goals already.
