Romania vs Ukraine Prediction: Not much difference
Romania is participating in Euro for the sixth time in its history, but this year’s tournament marks their first appearance since 2016, while Ukraine has played in Euro for the fourth consecutive time. However, both coaches, Edward Iordanescu and Serhiy Rebrov, are experiencing their first major tournament, and they are likely to bring surprises to this year’s competition.

It’s worth noting that the Romanian national team had a successful qualifying campaign, topping their group undefeated and conceding only 5 goals in 10 matches. On the contrary, Ukraine’s journey under coach Serhiy Rebrov was challenging as they finished third in the qualifiers and had to play courageously in the playoffs against Bosnia & Herzegovina and Iceland to secure a spot in Euro 2024.

In their last two Euro appearances, Ukraine started with defeats (against Germany and the Netherlands). However, this time, in a relatively balanced group with the presence of Belgium and their apparent advantage, one of Romania or Ukraine has a chance to seize an opportunity, and a win in this match would put them in contention to advance from the group stage.

Ukraine is full of energy and motivation, especially after two intense playoff matches. They have shown tactical adjustments and patience when needed, which is why the clash between Romania and Ukraine is evenly poised.

Difficult to reach three goals
The encounters between Romania and Ukraine have always been fascinating, dramatic, and filled with goal-scoring opportunities. Romania has averaged over 2.5 goals in their last three home matches against Ukraine, while Ukraine has scored at least 2 goals in their last three encounters with Romania. Moreover, the balance is evident in the history of their matchups, with Romania winning twice and Ukraine winning thrice in their last five meetings.

Reaching three goals is possible in this match, but it won’t be easy. In the last 9 out of 10 matches, Romania has seen fewer than 3 goals scored. Similarly, Ukraine has witnessed fewer than 3 goals in 8 out of their last 10 matches.

Both teams to score
In a group with the presence of Belgium, who are seemingly certain to advance from Group E, and the difference in quality, the battle for the remaining spot belongs to Ukraine, Romania, and Slovakia.

Therefore, both Ukraine and Romania know that winning this match is crucial, and both teams are determined to score to secure all 3 points. A scenario where both teams score is highly likely. According to statistics, in 7 out of Romania’s last 10 matches, they have scored at least 1 goal. Similarly, Ukraine has scored in 8 out of their last 10 matches.

Fewer than 10 corners
Despite their desire to score goals, Ukraine and Romania will play cautiously to avoid conceding. In recent matchups, both teams have had a relatively even possession rate, leading to fewer corners. Notably, there have been high instances of shots off target.

In their recent encounter, there were a total of 9 corners, with Ukraine having a slight advantage with 7 corners, but they also had 6 shots off target. Similarly, Romania had 12 shots, but half of them were off target.

Predicted Score Romania vs Ukraine
Based on the analysis above, both teams are not inclined to score many goals, and given the importance of the opening match at Euro 2024, they will play cautiously, leading to a low-scoring affair. Here is the predicted result of this exciting contest between Romania and Ukraine based on leading football analysis websites and statistics:
