Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects a tight, low-scoring game.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Ukraine to win and under 3.5 goals | 2/1 (BetAhoy) | Ukraine beat Hungary 1-0 in Budapest last month and have home advantage, albeit at a neutral venue in Trnava, for this crucial second-place shoot-out. Both sides are badly short of goals, each having scored just once in three games, so a low-scoring affair is likely. Andrea Maldera’s side are without the injured Artem Dovbyk, but Danylo Sikan led the line well in the reverse. Backing Ukraine to win in a game with under 3.5 goals looks the smart way to play a tight, tense contest. |
| Both teams to score – No | 1/1 (Betfair) | Neither side has found scoring easy this campaign: Ukraine have managed just one goal in three games, while Hungary have also scored only once and could be without the injured Barnabas Varga. With two blunt attacks and plenty at stake in a cagey second-place decider, clean sheets are very much on the cards. Backing no goals at both ends makes plenty of sense for a low-scoring game in Trnava. |
