PREVIEW
Ukraine will take on Belgium in their final match of Euro 2024 Group E when they meet at the MHPArena in Stuttgart on 9;30 PM IST, June 26, Wednesday
Ukraine and Belgium go into their Euro 2024 clash on Wednesday knowing that there is everything to play for and everything to lose as all teams in Group E are locked on three points heading into the final matchday.
Belgium recovered from its opening loss to Slovakia to beat Romania 2-0 while Ukraine came from a goal down against Slovakia to win 2-1.
There are all sorts of permutations and calculations to be made but both teams will know that a win guarantees a last 16 place and possibly top seeding in the group.
Belgium looked like a wounded predator in its game against Romania, desperate to prove its best days are not behind it.
No player exemplifies that more than Romelu Lukaku. The 31-year-old has had three goals disallowed by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in the tournament so far. He would be top-scorer were it not for very fine margins.
Here are the predicted lineups and formations of Ukraine vs Belgium:
UKRAINE VS BELGIUM PREDICTED LINEUPS:
Ukraine predicted XI (4-3-3): Trubin (GK); Tymchyk, Zabarnyi, Matvienko, Mykolenko; Sudakov, Zinchenko, Shaparenko; Yarmolenko, Dovbyk, Mudryk
Belgium predicted XI (4-1-3-1): Casteels (GK); Castagne, Faes, Vertonghen, Theate; Tielemans, Onana; Doku, De Bruyne, Trossard; Lukaku
