Ukraine vs Spain Predictions and Betting Tips
Ukraine and Spain go head-to-head in the UEFA Nations League on Tuesday in what promises to be a highly-promising encounter. We head into this second set of games in League A4 with the Spaniards at the summit of the standings. It is then left to see whether the other teams have something to say about that.
In the most recent meeting between these two teams, Spain ran out 4-0 winners. Sergio Ramos kicked things off with a quickfire brace to give his side a healthy two-goal lead. Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres grabbed the remaining as Enrique celebrated his first win in this season's Nations League campaign.
Still one win on the board for Schevchenko
The Yellow and Blue got off to the most perfect start in this Nations League campaign with a vital 2-1 win over Switzerland. However, with three losses in the three games played since then, the team will be desperate to get back to winning ways as they entertain Spain. In their most recent matchup, they were on the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline. Ginter and Goretzka gave the Germans a two-goal cushion in a game in which they could have been more goals ahead if not for the Ukrainian goalie. Malinovsky pulled one back for the hosts but that was all she wrote as the Germans left Kyiv with the points.
Spaniards look to cement their place at the top
Since their dominance from '08-'12, the Spanish national team haven't been at their best in international tournaments. However, tables seem to be turning around taking into account their performance in recent years. Having just missed the finals in the 2018/19 UEFA Nations League, the Spaniards began this new campaign with the sole aim of getting back to the top.
They have been impressive right from the get-go as they currently sit at the top of League A4 with seven points from three games. In their most recent game, Oyarzabal-in the 14th minute- grabbed the solitary goal to guide them towards yet another three points and the clean sheet.

Ukraine vs Spain Prediction: 1-2
The Spaniards have shown just how good they are in defence with three consecutive clean sheets. They've also been decent in front of goal with five goals in those games. The Ukrainians, on the other hand, are heading into this game off the back of three straight losses with both games ending with over 2.5 goals. As a result, we expect both sides to score but we fancy the away team to come out atop in this one.
