Ukraine have already won this group and will be playing in League A in the next UEFA Nations League.  They have won all three of their group matches though that didn't look likely when going 1-0 down away to the Czech Republic in their opening game after just four minutes. They needed a 92nd minute goal to get the win in that match. It was another late show in their next match with a Yamalenko penalty in the 80th minute giving them a 1-0 victory over Slovakia. Their third win was also a 1-0 win, this time at home to the Czech Republic, but for a change they scored in the first half. They come into this game on a nine-game unbeaten run and haven't lost since October of last year. Their last seven away games have produced four wins and three draws but the worry here is how they'll approach this game having already won the group.

Slovakia are bottom of the group after losing their first two matches. They are three points behind the Czech Republic who they travel to three days after this match. A win here will put them level with the Czechs but even then they will need to beat the Czechs after losing to them earlier in the group. After their 1-0 loss away to Ukraine, they hosted the Czechs and lost 2-1 with the winner coming 14 minutes from time. Slovakia have only won one of their last six games but had been unbeaten in seven home games before losing to the Czechs. The tip here is for under 2.5 goals to be scored.
