With North Macedonia unable to finish in the top three, then this match is going to be a fascinating one. Ukraine are in second ahead of Austria on goal difference and thats a much better position than they were in after their first match. They took on the Netherlands and found themselves 2-0 down after conceding two goals in the space of six minutes. Ukraine fought back well with two goals of their own in the 75th and 79th minutes only to concede a late goal. They found life a lot easier against North Macedonia and two first half goals helped them to a 2-1 win. All they need to do now is avoid defeat in this match to finish second in the group. That would take them into a last sixteen match against the winners of Group A, either Italy or Wales. The loss to the Netherlands is the only one they have suffered in their last eight games.
Austria have to win this match to finish second but a draw wouldn't be too bad a result. That'd see them finish on four points and that might just be enough to see them one of the four best third placed sides. They beat North Macedonia 3-1 in their opening Group C fixture, a welcome win after going three games without a victory. It wasn't so easy against the Netherlands though and they were beaten 2-0. Ukraine should have had their confidence boosted after their win over North Macedonia and pushing the Netherlands hard. Go for them to get the win here and clinch second place.
