As the European Championship qualifying matches heat up, Saturday’s fixtures promise exciting clashes and potential upsets.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the key matchups predictions.
Ukraine vs. North Macedonia (Saturday, 2.00pm)
In an intense battle for Euro 2024 qualifying Group C, Ukraine faces North Macedonia at Stadion Letna in the Czech Republic.
Despite falling short in a 2-1 loss to reigning champions Italy, Ukraine remains a formidable opponent.
However, the withdrawals of key attackers Yarmolenko and Tsygankov present challenges.
Nevertheless, Ukraine’s alternatives, Mudryk and Ruslan Malinovskyi, can make a significant impact.
- We predict a tight contest and a 2-1 victory for Ukraine.
Northern Ireland vs. San Marino (Saturday, 2.00pm)
Northern Ireland welcomes San Marino to Windsor Park in their quest for a second win in the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.
Although they are already out of contention for the finals, Northern Ireland aims to secure a convincing victory against the bottom-ranked team.
San Marino has been winless for nearly two decades, and their chances of breaking that streak seem slim.
- We predict a comfortable 3-0 victory for Northern Ireland.
Bulgaria vs. Lithuania (Saturday, 5.00pm)
With both teams desperate for their first win in Group G, Bulgaria hosts Lithuania at the Vasil Levski National Stadium.
While neither team can qualify for the main tournament, this match offers a chance for redemption.
Both teams struggle to score goals, but a victory is within reach.
Lithuania, who have failed to score in any of their away games, will face a tough challenge against Bulgaria.
- We predict a narrow 2-1 victory for Bulgaria.
Slovenia vs. Finland (Saturday, 5.00pm)
At Stadion Stozice, Slovenia and Finland clash in a crucial Euro 2024 qualifying match.
With the top four nations separated by just one point, every result counts.
A draw would be a decent outcome for both teams, ensuring their destiny remains in their own hands.
Expect a tight battle with both sides playing cautiously.
- We predict a 1-1 draw.
Italy vs. Malta (Saturday, 7.45pm)
Italy aims to close the gap on Group C leaders England as they face already-eliminated Malta at the Stadio San Nicola.
Despite missing key players, Italy’s dominant display against Ukraine highlights their strength.
With Malta struggling to find their footing, Italy is poised for a comfortable victory.
- We predict a commanding 4-0 win for Italy.
Hungary vs. Serbia (Saturday, 7.45pm)
In a highly anticipated clash, Hungary takes on Serbia at Puskas Arena, which could determine the winner of Group G.
With both teams level on points, Hungary holds an advantage with one game less played.
Both sides boast attacking talent, setting the stage for an exciting encounter.
Serbia’s defensive vulnerability could be their downfall against a skilled Hungarian team.
- We predict a thrilling 2-1 victory for Hungary.
Denmark vs. Kazakhstan (Saturday, 7.45pm)
Denmark squares off against Kazakhstan at home, aiming for a vital victory in Group H.
As the top four teams in the group are tied on points, this match could prove decisive.
