The Ukraine have nothing left to play for in this one other than some pride. But they are going to finish bottom of Group C at Euro 2016 whatever happens in this one. So the onus is on the Poles to go out and win this one because there is still a good chance that they could sneak top spot in the group away from the Germans. That may boil down to goal difference though if Germany beat Northern Ireland. Can the Poles deliver a solid enough win in this one?

Ukraine v Poland Betting Tips

How will the Ukraine approach this? Will they go for broke in trying to restore a little pride or will they just utilise their squad as most teams generally do when they are already eliminated? They have been eliminated from the tournament, the first side to be so after a crushing defeat against Northern Ireland. That was on top of their opening loss against Germany and now they have nowhere to go in the group right now. The Ukraine can take a positive in that they have gone unbeaten in their last five matches against Poland but goals between them have been few and far between. You generally never expect a lot of goals from games involving the Ukraine and four of the last five games between the Ukraine and Poland have gone under the 2.5 goals line. This one to go the same way is trading at a price of 4/6 and likely to swing that way.

With little on offer from the Ukraine then, it is worth focusing your betting attention on Poland alone. They have firepower through big Robert Lewandowski and Arkadiusz Milik, both having great games up front in a 0-0 draw aigna #Germany, but just unable to make the most of some great chances in the game. Lewandowski is an even money quote in the anytime goalscorer market with Milik at 8/5 to net. The Poles don’t look to be a side who are too far away from really clicking everything together, because they created some brilliant chances against Germany. As soon as the goals start flowing then no-one is going to want to be running into them at the knockout stage at all. Poland are a price of 9/4 to go and win this one to nil which should have some appeal.

Poland have earned a lot of clean sheets lately, having taken five clean sheets in their last six games. So their defence is there and again, if the goals start flowing like know that they have produced over the last year, they will be a force still. They could win the group still if they are helped out by Northern Ireland against Germany but they look a lock either way for a top two finish. They are head working, positive and should be able to get on top of a side who are already eliminated. They have been having issues in beating the Ukraine in recent meetings, but at the moment, they are standing head and shoulders above the quality that the Ukraine have. They look to have burned themselves out early in their opening loss against the Germans.

Ukraine v Poland Predictions

Hard to see Poland having too many issues in this one. This could be the one where their forward line clicks and start slotting home the goals which will give them some confidence going forward. The Ukraine are likely to drift away from this one pretty quickly and the Poles can land the win. Given all the clean sheets they have earned lately, looking for Poland to win to nil.
