Ukraine vs Northern Ireland Predictions

• Northern Ireland have lost six of their last nine games
• The hosts are unbeaten in 2021
• Ukraine have scored once in their last four matches

Ukraine to edge out Ulstermen

This is clash is a downbeat occasion for Northern Ireland, who won’t feature at Euro 2020 this summer. The Northern Irish recorded a famous win over Ukraine nearly five years ago at Euro 2016, but they have drifted quite a bit ahead of the rematch.

The visitors have lost six of their last nine matches going into this one and we have little faith in them stopping a Ukraine side who look set for a good summer.

The hosts are unbeaten in 2021 and manager Andriy Shevchenko has a good record as Ukraine boss. We’re backing them to overcome a side who failed to make it to the Euros, but don’t expect it to be high scoring. Ukraine have scored a single goal in their last four, so a 1-0 home win is our correct score prediction.
