Match Overview
Spain take on Ukraine in the semifinal of the U21 European Championships at the Stadionul Steaua on Wednesday. This promises to be an excellent game as Spain have a good record over their opponents and will be looking to continue in the same vein of form. Ukraine, however, have an outside chance of upsetting Spain.
Key Highlights
While Spain come into this game on the back of a solid 2-1 win over Switzerland in their previous match, Ukraine too won against France, but by a bigger margin of 3-1. Spain, however, have been unbeaten in the last seventeen matches that they have played, whereas Ukraine have won just three out of the last five they have participated in.
Injury Report
Spain do not have any major absentees in their side. Ukraine, on the other hand, will be worried by the injury sustained by Mykhalo Mudryk, whose calf has given him some trouble in the recent past.
Prediction
Spain U21 appear to be the downright favourites to win this game and we expect them to win it. Ukraine have never won a match against Spain U21 in the past. The closest they have come to competing against Spain U21 was the 2-2 draw that the two teams played out in June earlier this year. However, Spain have an upper hand in this match to be played on Wednesday.
