Poland and the Netherlands are set to face off in their Euro 2024 opener in Hamburg on June 16. Poland will be missing key players, including Robert Lewandowski and Matty Cash, due to injuries. Expected to line up in a 3-5-2 formation, Poland will rely on Wojciech Szczesny in goal, with Piotr Zielinski and Nicola Zalewski playing crucial roles in midfield. The Netherlands, also dealing with significant absences like Frenkie de Jong and Teun Koopmeiners, are anticipated to field a 3-4-2-1 formation featuring Virgil van Dijk in defense and an attacking lineup led by Xavi Simons, Cody Gakpo, and Wout Weghorst. Historically, the Netherlands has dominated Poland, winning four and drawing one of their last five encounters. Given their recent form and better players we give Dutch the edge here by a single goal.
Romania and Ukraine are set to face off in their Euro 2024 group stage match on June 17 at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Both teams are entering the tournament with a mix of optimism and strategic caution, looking to start their campaigns on a strong note.
Romania comes into the match after an unbeaten qualifying campaign, where they topped their group. Despite this success, they have struggled to find the net recently, with goalless draws in their warm-up matches against Bulgaria and Liechtenstein. Coached by Edward Iordanescu, Romania's squad includes notable names such as Tottenham's Radu Dragusin and Empoli's Razvan Marin. However, their attack has been weakened by the injury of Denis Alibec, which places additional pressure on George Puscas and Denis Dragus to deliver upfront.
On the other hand, Ukraine, managed by Serhiy Rebrov, boasts a more dynamic squad featuring talents like Arsenal's Oleksandr Zinchenko and Chelsea's Mykhailo Mudryk. They have navigated a challenging path to Euro 2024, including playoff victories over Bosnia and Herzegovina and Iceland. Ukraine's star forward Artem Dovbyk, who finished as La Liga's top scorer with Girona, will be a key player to watch. His prolific scoring ability could be crucial in breaking down Romania's defense.
Historically, matches between these two teams have been high-scoring, with an average of 4.6 goals per game in their last five encounters. So do we need to go big on the score here? Maybe not, given Romania's recent lack of goals and Ukraine's attacking prowess, many expect Ukraine to have the upper hand. Predictions favor a Ukraine win, possibly with a low-scoring outcome, reflecting the defensive strengths and attacking challenges of both teams.
