Ukraine will lock horns with Austria in the matchday 3 of Euro 2020 Group C at Arena Nationala on Monday. The kick-off is at 18:00 CEST.

Preview

The Ukrainians were unlucky to suffer a 3-2 defeat to Netherlands in their European Championship opener with Denzel Dumfries scoring a late winner in Amsterdam. Andriy Shevchenko's men, however, managed to bounce back in the following encounter with North Macedonia as they defeated the competition's debutants 2-1 thanks to goals from Andriy Yarmolenko and Roman Yaremchuk, who also scored against Oranje.

Austria also defeated the Macedonians and lost to the Dutch side in their opening two games at the tournament so Franco Foda's side are coming into this clash level on points with their forthcoming opponents.

Team news

Oleksandr Zubkov remains on the sidelines for Ukraine with a muscle problem while Valentino Lazaro is the only doubt in the Austrian set-up through the same issue. Marko Arnautovic, meanwhile, will return to Foda's squad on Monday after serving his one-match ban against Netherlands.

Prediction

Even though both teams are level on points, it's the Ukrainians who sit in second right now. Thus, even a draw against the Austrians would send Shevchenko's crop into the last-16 round as the Group C runners-up. Even if Ukraine fail to take all three points in this one, we still do expect the likes of Yarmolenko and Yaremchuk to get the job done for the 'hosts' in Bucharest.

Tip

Ukraine to win or draw and both teams to score at 2.62 with 1XBET.
