Belgium 3-0 Ukraine

Current streaks

Recent form

Belgium

Belgium's recent form has been alarmingly poor, with the team enduring a dismal run of five consecutive defeats in their last six matches. The Red Devils have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight games, conceding a worrying 11 goals in their previous six outings whilst only managing to score four themselves. Their goal difference of -7 over this period is particularly concerning for a team of Belgium's calibre. Despite their struggles, half of their recent matches have seen both teams score, and there's been an even split between high and low-scoring affairs, with 50% of games featuring over 2.5 goals. The 3-1 loss to Ukraine stands out as the highest-scoring match in this run, but it's the consistent string of defeats that will be most troubling for Belgian supporters and management alike.

Ukraine

Ukraine have shown impressive form in their recent matches, currently enjoying a five-game unbeaten streak. Their last six games have yielded three wins, two draws, and only one loss, demonstrating a resilient and competitive side. The team have been particularly prolific in front of goal, scoring an average of 1.67 goals per game, whilst maintaining a positive goal difference of +3. Notably, Ukraine have been involved in high-scoring encounters, with both teams finding the net in 83% of their matches and an average of 2.83 total goals per game. Their most recent outing, a 3-1 victory over Belgium in the UEFA Nations League, stands out as their highest-scoring match in this run, showcasing their ability to perform against strong opposition. Despite only keeping one clean sheet in their last six games, Ukraine's attacking prowess has compensated for their defensive vulnerabilities, making them an exciting team to watch in the UEFA Nations League.

Recent home/away form

Belgium

Belgium's recent home form has been rather inconsistent, with the Red Devils alternating between wins and losses in their last six matches. They have managed three victories and suffered three defeats, scoring nine goals whilst conceding five. Notably, Belgium have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last three home games, a concerning trend for a team of their calibre. Their most impressive performance came in a 3-0 victory over Luxembourg in a friendly, whilst they also secured a solid 3-1 win against Israel in the UEFA Nations League. However, Belgium have struggled against stronger opposition, losing to both France and Italy in their most recent home fixtures. The team's goal-scoring record remains respectable, averaging 1.5 goals per game, but their defensive vulnerabilities have become more apparent, particularly in high-stakes competitions like the European Championship and UEFA Nations League.

Ukraine

Ukraine's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six matches. The Yellow and Blue have shown an impressive attacking prowess, netting 11 goals at an average of 1.83 per game, but their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 9 goals at 1.5 per match. Notably, Ukraine have been involved in high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 67% of the matches. Their most convincing victory came in a friendly against Moldova, where they triumphed 4-0, whilst their heaviest defeat was a 3-0 loss to Romania in the European Championship. Ukraine have struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only one in their last six away games, but they've consistently found the back of the net, failing to score in just one match during this period.
