Republic of Ireland vs Ukraine Prediction 8 June 2022

The postponed match of the first round of the Nations League between Ireland and Ukraine will take place next Wednesday.

Ireland have already started this tournament with a 0-1 loss to Armenia, which have significantly worsened their chances of staying in Division B. Earlier in 2022, the Green Army had a 2:2 draw with Belgium and defeated Lithuania 1:0. And in the qualifying tournament for the 2022 World Cup, the Irish finished third in their group.

At the same time, Ukraine's second position guaranteed their participation in the playoffs. At first, the Blue-Yellows dealt with Scotland (3:1), but a few days later they stumbled against Wales - 0:1. And in preparation for such important events, Petrakov's men sparred with Borussia Monchengladbach (2:1), Rijeka (1:1) and Empoli (3:1).

Against the backdrop of the fatigue of the Ukraine national team, Ireland could benefit greatly. But we believe that even the semi-reserve line-up of the Blue-and-Yellows is at least no weaker than the frankly crisis-ridden hosts.
