Spain will travel to Ukraine this Tuesday and hope to claim three points which will solidify their position in the group. Ukraine who put on a formidable performance against Germany will have to improve themselves a bit to stand a chance against the strong Spanish side.

Spain have a unbeaten record against Ukraine in official International matches. Ukraine and Spain have met 6 times so far and Spain have won 5 games out of those six. Ukraine managed to draw only one out of those six.
