Will Ukraine manage to defend its lead?
Free soccer predictions
The Ukraine, it seems, is too bad for the World Cup in recent years and good enough for European Championships. The last three qualifications for the World Cup were all not successfully completed, for the European Championships, however, you could qualify 2 times in a row. The big stars like Andry Shevchenko no longer have the team, so it has to be more about the collective. In this qualifying they manage this quite well and after the previous 5 games they occupy the first place in a group with Serbia and Portugal. 4 of these 5 games were won and only once did the team have to settle for a draw.
Free soccer tips
The goal difference is 11: 1 goals which should show above all the enormous defensive strength. The last 3 games always ended with a zero win and they have been without conceding for over 270 minutes. The previously mentioned Andry Shevchenko is now team manager of his country and since his commitment, the team could develop extremely positive. For 7 games they are unbeaten and at home they have not even left the court as a loser for 10 games. In his 29 games he has a good point average of 1.93 points per game and the goal difference stands at 43:23 goals.

Thus, the team receives less than 1.00 goals conceded per game. The first duel with Portugal ended with a remarkable 0-0 draw. The further encounters of these two teams are not relevant since they took place in 1996 and 1997 and each team celebrated a victory.
The European champion with difficulties!
Free soccer predictions
Portugal has been one of the strongest national teams in the world for a number of years and impressively proved this at the last European Championship. In 2016, the team was able to set the crown for the first time and celebrated in the final against France a 1-0 victory. In the last year at the World Cup, they could not repeat this triumph and had to pack their bags already in the second round. Despite these difficulties, Portugal has unbelievably individual quality with players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Bernardo Silva or Joao Felix.
Free soccer tips
In addition, they have with Fernando Santos a longtime coach on the sidelines are the team knows well and already 67 games played. His average score of 2.09 points per game is outstanding. The current form should be correct, the Portuguese are unbeaten since 12 games and the last defeat was cashed last summer at the World Cup. However, they had to end 2 of their previous 4 qualifiers with a draw, which is why they currently only ranked 2nd in the table. The goal difference can still be seen thanks to two clear victories against Serbia (4: 2) and Lithuania (1: 5).
Free soccer tips
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most successful scorers in this European Championship qualifier with already 5 goals. But as good as the offensive lately presented, so unstable acts currently the defense. They have conceded at least one goal in 4 of the last 5 games, and only in the UEFA Nations League final they celebrated a 1-0 victory over the Netherlands. In the match against Ukraine, they are considered the clear favorites and anything but a win would be a disappointment and a setback for the Euro 2020.

Bet Tip and Forecast
The Portuguese stand with their backs to the wall and have to win the game against Ukraine, they still want to reach the first place in the table. However, due to the quality of the squad we think that they know how to deal with this pressure and therefore recommend a tip 2. Another possibility would be a game on Both teams meet YES. Although Ukraine are in a good defensive position, Portugal and its stars are struggling to keep up and Portugal are only rarely able to do so.

The European Championship qualifying match between Ukraine and Portugal is scheduled for Monday evening at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev. The home country is in excellent shape and needs a draw to secure her starting ticket for next year’s European Championship. Portugal is also in good shape, but the South Europeans need a good result to keep neighboring Serbian at bay.

Ukraine:
Andriy Shevchenko was of course a gifted football player, but the former top striker is also doing great as a national coach. Since its appointment, roughly three years ago, Ukraine has been doing fantastic. With no less than sixteen points from six games – and that in a tough group with Portugal and Serbia among others – Ukraine can hardly miss the European Championship qualification. A great achievement, since Ukraine has qualified twice for a major tournament since its independence.
Free soccer picksUkraine is therefore full of confidence, and again underlined its good form last Friday by simply putting Lithuania aside 2-0 via two goals from Ruslan Malinovskyi. Shevchenko has a nose for good attackers because of his past, but also the defense of the Ukrainians stands with just one goal in six European Championship qualifiers. If goalkeeper Andiy Pyatov manages to keep his goal clean again on Monday evening and Ukraine therefore takes at least one point against Portugal, European Championship qualification is definitely a fact.

Portugal:
Of course, Portugal wants to defend its European title next year, but it is still far from certain that we will see Cristiano Ronaldo and associates in action at the European Championship next year. With a second place in group B, the southern Europeans are in good shape, but in the event of a defeat in Kiev, number three Serbia will have the chance to reduce the backlog to just one point. The interests for Portugal are huge on Monday evening.
Free soccer predictions
In any case, Portugal can travel to Ukraine full of confidence, as Luxembourg was set aside 3-0 in the Alvalade in Lisbon last Friday. Cristiano Ronaldo took one of the Portuguese hits, and now only needs one goal to score the milestone of 700 goals. In addition, he of course also hunts for the international record for international goals of Iranian former international Ali Daei (109 goals). CR7 stands at 94 goals on behalf of Portugal and therefore needs 15 more goals to reach the same level.

Ukraine - Statistics & Current Form
Ukrainian football has excellent future prospects! In the summer of this year, the U20 national team in Poland celebrated sensationally in the Junior World Cup title victory. But not only the U20 selection in this calendar year to convince, but also the senior team of head coach Andreij Shevchenko. The former world-class striker plays a terrific year with the national team and could reward himself in the game against Portugal with the EM ticket.

In Group B of the European Championship Qualification, Ukraine has a nearly fresh white vest. After six games completed are 16 counters on the credit side. Only in the first leg against Portugal, the Eastern Europeans had to settle for a draw, the remaining games were all won.
Outstanding is especially the defensive, because the Ukraine had to accept only one goal. In view of the defensive strength, a forecast for the sub-2.5 is quite obvious between Ukraine and Portugal.

In the Shevchenko era - since September 2016 he is in office - Ukraine has an outstanding 17-8-5 record. However, the Olympic Stadium in the capital Kiev does not seem to be a favorite place for the Ukrainian national team. Only one of the last six home games in this stadium could win the Ukraine (1-2-3 balance sheet).
On Monday evening, however, already scored a point, so the jubilation knows no bounds. Given the starting position, Ukraine will tend to be destructive and minimize risk.

Portugal - Statistics & Current Form
Free soccer picks
Current European Champion and current UEFA Nations League winner - in recent years Portugal has also been able to win titles on the international stage! The "golden generation" around Luis Figo this was always denied, with a little delay, there was still reason for the southern Europeans to cheer. Closely linked is the success of Portugal, of course, with exceptional artist Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, the Juventus legionnaire is not getting any younger, and considering his age of 34, the European Championship could be his last major event next year. In 161 international matches, the attacker was able to score no less than 94 goals. The 100 mark is only a matter of time - but first it is important to fix another anniversary.

On Monday night in Kiev Cristiano Ronaldo as the fifth player in history could break the 700-goal barrier. Currently he holds 699 hits. Between Ukraine and Portugal, betting odds of 2.00 are offered for the tip on Ronaldo's 700th career goal.

The start to the current European Championship qualifying was pretty bumpy for Portugal. In the prelude, there was only one draw in March against Ukraine and Serbia. Due to the Nations League Finals Portugal was free of play in June and therefore fell behind in the table.
However, the shape curve is clearly up and there have been three sovereign victories in the last three qualifiers. In all three games, the tip on the over 2.5 as well as the handicap success was the right choice.
With four points ahead of Serbia in the Group B table, Portugal can even afford a slip-up. In order to save a hot finish in November, however, the victory in Kiev would be of great importance.

Nationalmannschaft der Ukraine
Um ehrlich zu sein, habe ich ehrlich gesagt kein solches Vertrauen in die Handlungen der ukrainischen Nationalspieler bemerkt. Nach den ersten erfolgreichen Spielen verschwand irgendwo eine Last der Verantwortung, und die „gelb-schwarzen" zeigen in jedem Spiel einfach ihre besten Qualitäten.
Free soccer tips
Neulich schlugen die Ukrainer die Häuser des Außenseiters der Gruppe auf einfache und natürliche Weise. Hatte die Mannschaft zuvor in der Person von Konoplyanka und Yarmolenko eine große Abhängigkeit von Flankenspielern, ist sie jetzt gefährlich bei Positionsangriffen durch die Mitte. Marlos kann den Ball halten und einen scharfen Pass geben, und Malinovsky ist, wie das Treffen gegen die Litauer gezeigt hat, nicht nur mit Standards gefährlich. Ja, er bemerkte erneut einen genauen Freistoß, aber Ruslan erzielte das erste Tor nach einer einfachen, aber sehr effektiven Wand mit demselben Marlos. Es gab Momente für einen großen Sieg, ich erinnere mich besonders an den Pfostenschuss von Yarmolenko, aber am Ende reichten zwei Tore für die Gastgeber, um zu gewinnen.

Portugals Nationalmannschaft
Der aktuelle Meister des Kontinents erkannte nach zwei Unentschieden zu Beginn der Qualifikationsrunde, dass man nicht mehr Punkte verlieren kann, und gewann die nächsten drei Kämpfe. Er liegt jedoch fünf Punkte hinter der ukrainischen Mannschaft, hat jedoch ein Spiel weniger als der Tabellenführer.

Auch die Portugiesen hatten am Freitag keine besonderen Probleme wie die Ukrainer. Sie besiegten die Heimat Luxemburg mit 3: 0. Die Gastgeber verbrachten kraftvoll das Startsegment und gingen in der 16. Minute nach dem Tor von Bernard Silva weiter. Wir mussten lange auf das nächste Tor warten, Cristiano Ronaldo wurde Mitte der zweiten Halbzeit vom Fehler des Verteidigers des „Luxus" beschützt. Nun, das Ende des Spiels wurde am Ende von Gonçalo Gedesh gesetzt.

Taktik
Wie ich bereits geschrieben habe, geht Andriy Shevchenko die Analyse des Rivalen-Spiels sorgfältig durch und ändert in fast jedem Meeting die taktische Anordnung. Gegen die Litauer entschied er sich also etwas unerwartet für die Option 4-1-4-1, die sich auszahlt. Die Abwehr war voll in Ordnung und im Angriff hielten sofort fünf Spieler die Abwehr der Gäste in Atem. Etwas sagt mir, dass wir am Montag in Kiew dasselbe Muster sehen werden.

Die Portugiesen spielen alleine, daher gibt Fernando Santos in den meisten Spielen seine Jungs mit einer 4-3-3-Formation auf das Feld, und Änderungen werden nur gelegentlich in extremen Fällen vorgenommen.
Free soccer predictions
Momentan haben die Ukrainer in sechs Spielen nur ein Gegentor kassiert, deshalb bin ich mir sicher, dass sie ihr Spiel gegen die Portugiesen in der Konfrontation mit den Portugiesen verteidigen werden, denn angesichts der Stärke des Angriffs der Gäste wird es wie der Tod sein, mit Europameistern zu spielen.

Ich stelle auch fest, dass die Ukraine am Montag mit einem Unentschieden recht zufrieden sein wird, damit die Schutzzauber von Andriy Shevchenko nicht überstürzen.
Ich glaube, dass die Gastgeber in einer solchen Situation durchaus in der Lage sind, die Pyrenäen zu bekämpfen und in ihrer Heimat ein positives Ergebnis zu erzielen.

The Ukrainian national team virtually secured access to the final part of the Euro 2020. To play in the continental championship, they can even lose the two remaining matches. The main thing is not to give Serbia 0: 6 or more.
Andrei Shevchenko's wards scored 16 points in six games played and led the group B standings.
The Ukrainians twice defeated Luxembourg (2-1 and 1-0) and Lithuania (3-0 and 2-0), once Serbia (5-0), and played during a visit to Portugal a draw (0-0).

You can remember the team meeting in Lisbon, where the Portuguese did not realize many moments at the goal of Andrei Pyatov and miraculously did not score three points.
We also remember how Ukraine played in Luxembourg, where they lost but won by the own-goal of Gerson Rodriguez, who scored in the final seconds of the match.
