Ukraine vs North Macedonia Predictions


Ukraine and North Macedonia both know how to score goals and are expected to produce BTTS in Bucharest. With Andriy Yarmolenko and Roman Yaremchuk in good form, Ukraine score more goals to take all three points.

  • Ukraine have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 7 matches (all competitions).
  • Ukraine have won their last 2 matches against North Macedonia (Euro 2016 qualifiers).
  • North Macedonia have seen BTTS in 3 of their last 4 matches (all competitions).

Head to Head


Ukraine have a 2-0 advantage against North Macedonia in two competitive matches.

They met in the Euro 2016 qualifiers, Ukraine winning 1-0 in Lviv and 2-0 in Skopje.

Ukraine Form


Ukraine went undefeated in their first six games in 2021. They drew all three of their World Cup qualifiers: 1-1 in France, 1-1 against Finland and 1-1 against Kazakhstan.

Andriy Shevchenko’s side played three friendlies to warm up for Euro 2020.

Ukraine drew 1-1 against Bahrain, won 1-0 against Northern Ireland won 4-0 against Cyprus. Andriy Yarmolenko bagged a brace with Oleksandr Zinchenko and Roman Yaremchuk on target.

Ukraine suffered a 3-2 defeat to Netherlands in their opening match at Euro 2020. They were 2-0 down when goals to Andriy Yarmolenko and Roman Yaremchuk restored parity, but they conceded in the 85th minute in an exciting match.

Ukraine Squad & Team News


Goalkeepers: Heorhiy Bushchan, Andriy Pyatov (Captain), Anatoliy Trubin
Defenders: Eduard Sobol, Serhiy Kryvtsov, Illya Zabarnyi, Vitaliy Mykolenko, Oleksandr Karavayev, Mykola Matviyenko, Oleksandr Tymchyk, Denys Popov
Midfielders: Heorhiy Sudakov, Serhiy Sydorchuk, Taras Stepanenko, Andriy Yarmolenko, Ruslan Malinovskyi, Mykola Shaparenko, Marlos, Yevhenii Makarenko, Viktor Tsyhankov, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Roman Bezus, Oleksandr Zubkov
Forwards: Roman Yaremchuk, Artem Besyedin, Artem Dovbyk

Winger Oleksandr Zubkov was subbed off 13 minutes into the game against Netherlands. He is likely to be replaced by Mykola Shaparenko.

Andriy Yarmolenko is a key player after scoring 41 goals in 95 internationals. Roman Yaremchuk has scored 9 goals in 25 internationals.

North Macedonia Form


North Macedonia came into Euro 2020 with plenty of confidence having won three of their previous four matches.

Igor Angelovski’s side lost 3-2 in Romania in their first World Cup qualifier but bounced back with a 2-0 win against Liechtenstein and 2-1 win in Germany.

The Lions played two friendlies, a 1-1 draw against Slovenia and a 4-0 win against Kazakhstan with Ezgjan Alioski, Ivan Trickovski, Milan Ristovski and Darko Churlinov on target.

North Macedonia suffered a 3-1 defeat against Austria in their opening Euro 2020 match. Goran Pandev equalised in the 28th minute but they conceded two late goals.
