Game Analysis

There’s no head-to-head history to speak of in this match. This will be the first time the national soccer teams of Ukraine and Belgium face off.

Ukraine, a dark horse pick to win Group E, disappointingly lost their first match 3-0 against Romania. Coach Serhiy Rebrov replaced goalkeeper Andriy Lunin with Anatoliy Trubin for the second match, which Ukraine won 2-1 versus Slovakia.

Ukraine reached the Quarter-Finals at Euro 2020 and have a talented roster that hasn’t exactly been cohesive thus far. In 2024, Ukraine are 4-1-2 and they managed draws against Italy and England in qualifiers last year.

Meanwhile, injury-stricken Belgium also lost their first match. Jan Vertonghen, Arthur Theate and Axel Witsel all missed Belgium’s 1-0 loss to Slovakia. By FIFA World Rankings, it was the biggest upset in European Championship history.

While Witsel missed the second game, Theate and Vertonghen started in defense to help Belgium keep a clean sheet. The Red Devils defeated Romania 2-0 behind goals from Youri Tielemans and Kevin De Bruyne.

Romelu Lukaku is a handful for defenders to go up against and the striker had two goals called back by VAR in Belgium’s first match. Punters interested in making Ukraine vs Belgium parlay picks should know Belgium have only lost once in 16 matches under coach Domenico Tedesco.

Ukraine vs Belgium Odds

Belgium are favorites for this match at -160 odds, which corresponds to a 58.5 percent chance to win without the vig. Ukraine have only won three of their 11 previous Euro group stage matches. Here, they’re +420 underdogs.

Unless the Romania vs Slovakia game finishes level, both teams will go through with a draw (+310). Ukraine are favored to keep this one close, as Ukraine +1 sits at -130 UEFA Euro Cup odds, while Belgium -1 comes in at +110.

The over/under is set at 2.5 goals. Currently, the over (-140) is seen as the more likely of the two.

Ukraine vs Belgium Betting Analysis & Final Overview

After two matches, no player had put more shots on target than Belgium’s Lukaku. Lukaku has put the ball on the frame five times and we expect that he’ll have plenty of chances here and put one away. After all, he did lead Euro 2024 qualifiers, with 14 goals.

Belgium’s defense looked better with Vertonghen and Theate but Ukraine should be able to get on the scoresheet as well. With their -2 goal difference (worst in Group E), they’ll be going for the win. In seven matches in 2024, Ukraine have averaged 1.57 goals. Meanwhile, Belgium have scored nine times in six matches.

While both teams shouldn’t have issues creating chances, we don’t expect this one to get out of hand and become a goal fest. Plus, Belgium will be less dangerous with Dodi Lukebakio out with a suspension.

Our Ukraine vs Belgium parlay picks are Lukaku to Score, Both Teams to Score and Under 3.5 goals at favorable +525 soccer odds.
