Ukraine vs England

All four of England’s Euro 2024 qualifying games have been victories, continuing a trend of dominance under Gareth Southgate’s tenure. England’s record reads: 1-0 against Ukraine, 3-0 against Malta, and 3-0 against North Macedonia.

If Southgate’s team wants to start experimenting with some of the new talent that has emerged since the World Cup, they need to cement their lead over their opponents. Their 15 goals through three games are the highest scored by any UEFA team in any of the groups. They scored seven against North Macedonia in their most recent encounter. Since losing 2-1 to the Czech Republic in 2019, England’s winning streak in Euros qualifying matches stands at seven games, during which they have only conceded one goal.

Due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, this weekend’s game will be played on neutral turf, taking away any potential advantage the ‘home team’ might have had. However, they have performed respectably in these qualifying matches, and currently hold second place in the group after victories against North Macedonia and Malta. Now that more of their team is playing in the top five leagues, Ukraine is a much more formidable opponent. Young center defender Illya Zabarnyi has already established himself as a starter for Bournemouth, and veterans Viktor Tsygankov and Artem Dovbyk have excelled for Girona in La Liga. 

The fact that Ukraine’s only loss in their last 13 European Championship qualification matches was in March versus the Three Lions is evidence of their improvement. Although they have come a long way, the English camp is still miles ahead in terms of quality. Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Jack Grealish, Marcus Rashford, and Harry Kane are just a few of the names Southgate may call on. The summer transfer of Kane from Tottenham to Bayern Munich was a major story, but he has quickly adjusted to his new team, scoring three goals in his first three games in the Bundesliga. With the home-field advantage taken away from Ukraine, we think England will win this game thanks to Kane.

Azerbaijan vs Belgium

On Saturday, Belgium will travel to Azerbaijan for a European Championship qualifying match hoping to strengthen their position in the top two of Group F. The Red Devils are favorites to emerge triumphant from Baku, since their hosts now sit at the bottom of the standings with just one point, below Austria and Sweden.

After a 13-match winless streak, Gianni De Biasi’s job security was bolstered by consecutive victories in the UEFA Nations League last summer against Belarus, Slovakia, and Kazakhstan. The free-scoring Belgians will be visiting Baku, although they have only managed to win one of their three Euro 2024 qualifying games so far. The hosts have conceded ten goals after three games, with their lone point coming from a draw against Estonia at home in June thanks to an equalizer from Anton Kryvotsyuk. They fell to Austria 4-1 and Sweden 5-0, and they’ll have to face even better attackers on Saturday.

In June, Belgium continued to rebuild following the devastating end to the Roberto Martinez era, which culminated in World Cup defeat, in order to move closer to the Euro 2024 finals. After a disastrous trip to Qatar, Martinez was replaced by Domenico Tedesco, whose first season saw Belgium beat Sweden 4-0 in a qualifying match thanks to a hat trick from Romelu Lukaku and post a 3-2 victory over Germany in a friendly. In June, a 3-0 road victory over Estonia gave them seven points in the standings.

In 12 of their previous 15 European Championship qualifying matches, they have scored at least three goals. This has occurred in three of their last four games. 

The early success of Azerbaijan makes betting on the visitors to score three or more goals and win by 3-0 an appealing option. Despite his turbulent club career, Romelu Lukaku has scored 75 goals in 108 international games and remains a major threat for his country. The 30-year-old has netted seven goals in four international games for Belgium since the World Cup. Lukaku will have enough support from Leandro Trossard and Jeremy Doku, who both possess excellent creativity, to win this game by more than one goal.
