Ukraine 3-1 Belgium

Current streaks

Recent form

Ukraine

Ukraine have shown mixed form in their recent UEFA Nations League matches, with their last six games yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The team have demonstrated resilience, bouncing back from consecutive losses to secure a win and two draws before their most recent victory against Albania. Ukraine's attacking prowess is evident, scoring in all six matches and averaging 1.33 goals per game. However, their defence has been equally porous, conceding the same number of goals over this period. Notably, both teams have scored in 83% of these fixtures, indicating exciting, high-scoring encounters. The clash against Czechia stood out as a particularly thrilling match, with Ukraine narrowly losing 3-2. Despite the ups and downs, Ukraine have managed to maintain a neutral goal difference, suggesting a competitive balance in their recent performances.

Belgium

Belgium have been experiencing a challenging period in their recent UEFA Nations League matches, with a concerning run of three consecutive defeats in their last three outings. The Red Devils have managed only one victory in their past six games, a 3-1 home win against Israel, which stands out as their highest-scoring match during this stretch. Defensively, Belgium have struggled, conceding in all six matches and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last seven games overall. Their goal difference of -3 over the last six matches reflects their difficulties at both ends of the pitch, with an average of just one goal scored per game compared to 1.5 conceded. The team's form has been particularly poor away from home, where they have suffered losses to Israel and France without scoring. Despite the presence of 2.5 goals per game on average, Belgium's recent performances suggest they are currently struggling to find consistency in both attack and defence.

Recent home/away form

Ukraine

Ukraine have shown mixed form in their recent home matches, with a balanced record of one win, two draws, and one loss in their last four games. The team have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring only three goals across these fixtures, averaging a modest 0.75 goals per game. Defensively, Ukraine have been relatively solid, conceding the same number of goals as they've scored and maintaining two clean sheets. Notably, 75% of their recent home matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards low-scoring affairs. The team's most recent victory came against Georgia in a tight 1-0 win, while their sole defeat was a 2-1 loss to Albania. Despite the lack of high-scoring encounters, Ukraine have managed to keep things competitive, with half of their games seeing both teams score.

Belgium

Belgium's recent away form has been underwhelming, with the Red Devils failing to secure a victory in their last six matches on foreign soil. The team have struggled to find the back of the net, averaging a mere 0.67 goals per game, whilst conceding at a rate of 1.33 goals per match. Notably, Belgium have managed just one clean sheet in this period, coming in a goalless draw against Ukraine in the European Championship. Their defensive frailties are further highlighted by the fact that they've conceded in five out of six matches. Despite the lack of wins, Belgium have shown resilience in avoiding defeat in half of these games, drawing three times, including high-scoring 2-2 draws against both Italy and England. The team's goal difference of -4 over this stretch underscores their recent challenges away from home.
