It’s second vs third in Group C as Italy host Ukraine at the San Siro Stadium in Milan on Tuesday. This Euro qualification match will see Italy start third in the table with four points from three matches while Ukraine are second with seven points from four matches. Italy were held to a 1-1 draw by North Macedonia last weekend as their see-saw form continues. The Italians have won just two of their last six matches, drawing one and losing three. Even in this qualification campaign, they have a loss, a win and a draw in their three matches. Should they lose here, it would be a big boost to Ukraine’s chances, dragging Italy further down. Home form augurs well for the Italians who have won 16 of their last 18 Euro qualifiers played at home, although the only defeat in that sequence came in their last home match.

Ukraine are also coming off a draw, as they creditably held leaders England to a 1-1 stalemate. That extended their unbeaten run to four matches, two draws and wins each. This qualification campaign saw them start with a 2-0 loss to England, but they picked the pieces up quickly. Wins over North Macedonia (3-2) and Malta (1-0) followed. That, coupled with their draw last time out against England, keeps them in good shape for top-two. A win here would be their first against Italy and could give a huge boost to their qualification hopes.
