Football – Europe – Euro 2016 Betting Tips

Group C resumes on Thursday evening when Ukraine take on Northern Ireland at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais with both teams looking to open their account having both lost their first matches in the group.

Looking at Ukraine first, and they were chasing shadows against the Germans in their opening Group C game as they lost 2-0 as Germany took control of the game. However, Ukraine weren’t without their chances in front of goal as they forced several top class saves out of the German goalkeeper Neuer, and if they create the same sort of chances against tonight’s opposition, Northern Ireland, you’d have to fancy their chances of scoring at least one.

Prior to the defeat to the current World Cup holders, Ukraine had put together a six-match unbeaten run which included wins over Slovenia, Cyprus, Wales, Romania and Albania, so they’ll still be full of confidence ahead of tonight’s clash.

Onto Northern Ireland, and they lost to Poland 1-0 in their group opener as they failed to make any kind of inroads into the well organised Polish defensive unit, as striker Kyle Lafferty ploughed a lone furrow up front.

Although the Irish were unbeaten in their 12 previous games prior to meeting Poland, they are now on the big stage in europe and they do seem to be a little out of their depth at this level. Time will tell of course, but on their first showing, they need to be creating more goalscoring opportunities in this match.

With Northern Ireland expected to press forward more this evening, I fancy this will open up space for Ukraine to operate and ultimately win the game.
