Ukraine vs Belarus Betting Tips

Group C of Euro 2016 Qualifiers is incredibly top heavy at the moment, with only three of the six teams harbouring hope of qualifying.

Ukraine are the last of that group, sitting in 3^rd position with 12 points from their first six games. Above them, Spain sit in 2^nd position with 15 points and Slovakia lead the way with a perfect haul of 18 points.

This makes every result crucial for Ukraine, and they will be hoping to gain ground on the two leaders with a win on Saturday.

Elsewhere in the group, Slovakia host Spain in a result that could be imperative to Ukraine’s chances of finishing in the top two. A draw between those sides would narrow the gap down to four and one point respectively, whilst a loss for Spain would see Ukraine go level on points with them.

As far as form goes, Ukraine have fairly comfortably won all of their Group C matches apart from fixtures against Slovakia and Spain, which they lost 1-0 on both occasions.

They still have a home game against Spain to play though, so they could gain some vital ground with a result there.

Belarus sit a position below Ukraine, but that doesn’t do justice to the difference in quality between the sides.

Belarus only have four points so far, with an opening day draw to bottom of the table Luxembourg and a win away at Macedonia marking their only positive results.

The two sides have played each other six times this millenium, with Ukraine winning three of those matches, Belarus winning once, and two 0-0 draws making up the numbers.

Ukraine won the previous fixture between these sides 2-0, with the whole performance being fairly comfortable despite the fact they were away from home. They are expected to ease to a victory on Saturday, and odds of 6/5 for a Ukraine -1 Handicap Win look like good value for money.
