Ukraine and Austria have gone head to head against each other only in two instances, with each team winning once. The last time these two sides clashed was back in 2012, with Austria winning against Ukraine 3-2. Both the teams will be hoping to deliver the knockout blow and dent the other’s hope of advancing through the group stage.

Andriy Shevchenko’s men have been quite impressive in this tournament. One might point out that they lost their opening fixture, but whoever witnessed that match will have to laud praises on the Ukrainian performance that night. Ukraine might have lost 3-2, but they showed immense spirit and mental strength to make a comeback from 2-0 to 2-2 against a superior opposition. Andriy Yarmolenko and Roman Yaremchuk scored a goal in their match against Netherlands and they scored yet again against North Macedonia in a 2-1 win. Ukraine would be hoping that the impressive form of this duo is carried on in their final group stage fixture to guarantee a place in the Round of 16.

Austria on the other handed started their EURO 2020 journey on a positive note. They won their match against North Macedonia 3-1 with Marko Arnautovic finding his name on the score sheet. However following Arnautovic’s one batch ban, Austria lost 2-0 Netherlands. They would be hoping that the team as a whole bounce back and defeats Ukraine to advance further into the tournament.
