Let's add that the key defender of the "blue and yellow" Vitaliy Mykolenko will not play against the Romanian national team. He was injured in the match against Moldova, due to which he had to miss the match.
As of now, it is not known whether Mykolenko will be able to recover for the matches against Slovakia and Belgium.
Forecast for the match Romania - Ukraine
The national teams of Ukraine and Romania will play in the framework of the first round of Euro-2024. The teams are rivals in Group E.
The favorite in this match is the national team of Ukraine. Serhii Rebrov's wards have a very powerful squad, which experts and other "football people" now call the strongest in the history of our national team.
They also say in Europe that the Ukrainian national team is capable of becoming one of the main surprises of the tournament in Germany.
As for the match against Romania, our team is the favourite. Bookmakers give odds of 1.93 for Ukraine to win. At the same time, 4.5 for Romania's victory and 3.45 for a draw.
Therefore, it is obvious that Ukraine has a better chance of winning this match, because the team is showing quite good football, which could be seen from the results of friendly matches.
At the same time, the Romanians can also manage to score a goal, but they are unlikely to win.
Most experts predict that Serhii Rebrov's wards will be able to beat the Romanian team with a minimum score (in particular, 0-1).
