Handed an opening fixture versus Germany, La Roja were always going to struggle to pinch out a favorable result. Ultimately, they settled for a hard-fought draw to pick up a vital point. Ukraine produced a strong performance to see off Switzerland in their own fixture.

Now topping the charts, the Yellow and Blue will be dreaming of a win against this star-studded Spain side this weekend to move further clear of the chasing pack. Though pretty difficult on paper, the Ukrainians are very capable of sealing a win here.

It has not been the dream start for Spain having failed to pick up a win in their first game of the tournament. Now, Enrique will be spurring his boys on to success in this coming fixture to get some much-needed three points on board.

Headed through the tunnel of the Mercedes-Benz Arena, the Spaniards must have been scared shitless at the prospect of taking on the German machines. Many of them would have forgotten what it felt like to play for their country having been on a lengthy ten-month break.

Taking on a formidable Germany side, Enrique’s men needed to be at their best to stand any chances in Stuttgart. As the game kicked-off, both sides struggled to produce any real openings as they played out a drab first-period.

The highly-anticipated fixture was sprung into life few minutes after the restart, Chelsea star Timo Werner striking a curler into the corner of the net to send Germany ahead. On the cusp of defeat, Spain threw men forward in search of an equalizer.

Very late into stoppage time, Jose Gaya turned savior for La Roja, rising high to head a well-taken cross past Trapp in goal. Luis Enrique was sent into frenzy down the touchline as he saw his side snatch a point right from under the noses of the Germans.

Truth be told, La Roja were outplayed on the night. Were it not for the exploits of De Gea, Spain would have been comprehensively beaten by Low’s men. Now, Spain have managed to remain unbeaten in twelve games, a run stretching back to their last defeat against Croatia in 2019.

La Roja will have their work cut-out to extend that run when they take on high-flying Ukraine on Sunday. The Yellow and Blue are heading here in high spirits, thanks to their narrow 2-1 victory over Switzerland last time out.

Yarmolenko and Zinchenko coming up with the goods, Ukraine sit pretty at the summit of Group A4. Ukraine are indeed in imperious form at the moment. They finished atop Group B of the EURO 2020 qualifiers, ahead of Portugal having won six of their eight fixtures.

On an 11-game unbeaten run, Ukraine will be wary of the threat posed by Spain here – a side that have recorded four wins in their last five attempts against them.

Spain vs Ukraine Predictions

Ukraine’s recent record places them right up there amongst the European juggernauts. They famously defeated Portugal in a EURO 2020 qualifying fixture last year. Riding on the wave of that victory, the Yellow and Blue will feel they can upset Spain here. However, Spain’s home advantage tips the scale slightly in their favor. The safest punt will be a double chance backing the hosts for victory.
