Ukraine vs Hungary — Tips & Analysis

Under 2.25: Neither of these teams can find the net right now. Ukraine and Hungary have each scored exactly one goal across their three Nations League games. Ukraine have gone 1-0, 0-0 and 0-3, so two of those three games produced almost nothing. They score just over a goal a game and they are now without Danylo Sikan and Mykola Matviyenko, both suspended. Hungary are just as quiet in front of goal, scoring just over a goal a game, and they are missing Barnabas Varga and Roland Sallai. Their own three games read 0-1, 0-0 and 1-0. These two met only ten days ago in Budapest, and Ukraine won it 1-0 with a single goal in the whole match. This one is in Trnava, Slovakia, so Ukraine are not really at home either. Both sides have had just 3 days since their last game, which rarely helps an attack. We read this as another 1-0 Ukraine win, and a night that stays quiet. The caution is Ukraine's defending. They were beaten 0-3 by Northern Ireland three days ago, and 8 of their last 15 games had 3 or more goals in them. A reshuffled team could change the shape of this. We still expect a tight, low scoring game.
