This would be only the fifth-ever encounter between both sides with the Ukrainians winning two of those games while Sweden have just one win under their belt. Which sides secure a famous victory on Tuesday?
Highly-anticipated encounter on the cards
Sweden was majestic in the group stage as they beat Spain to the top spot. With seven points on the board and two clean sheets in three games, they proved themselves to be formidable opponents for any side they go up against. How would they manage Schevchenko’s men on Tuesday night ?
Ukraine, on the other hand, managed to qualify to the knockout stages as one of the 3rd best teams. They picked up only three points from a possible nine but a goal difference of -1 was enough to book a spot in the last 16. It is also to be noted that they didn’t seal out any team in the group conceding five goals in three games. However, their attackers are very reliant in front of the goal with Yarmolenko and Yaremchuk netting twice in the group.
