3 years ago 575

Ukraine welcomes Northern Ireland to the Dnipro-Arena in an international friendly fixture as they prepare for the Euro 2021 this Thursday with kickoff at 21:00.

Northern Ireland failed to qualify for the Euro 2020 but head into the match off the back of a morale-boosting 3-0 over Malta on Sunday thanks to goals from Jordan Jones, Gavin Whyte and Alistar McCann.

The visitors will use the match just for experimenting on their best squad and try to improve their form and rankings.

Meanwhile Ukraine will use the friendly as one their two warm-up matches as they await to start off their Euro 2021 campaign. However, the hosts have been in poor form as they haven’t won in any of their last seven matches and head into the match off the back of four back to back 1-1 draws with their last draw being at home against Bahrain back in May.

The last time these two met Northern Ireland prevailed with a 0-2 win away, however, the visitors have lost their last 3 away matches in a row.
