England got their qualification campaign to a good start with a 2-1 away win over Italy, a match that also confirmed Harry Kane as England’s all time top-scorer when he got his 54th goal for the Three Lions. This will be Ukraine’s opening match of the qualifiers and a positive result here would be the best way to get things started if they want to be at the European Championship next year. As we preview this game, we promote Betwinner and 88sport, two of the best betting sites in Africa.
ENGLAND
England were 2 goals up before the break at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in their opening group match against Italy. Although the Azzurri managed to pull one back early in the 2nd half, the Three Lions managed to hold on for a famous victory despite playing the last 10 minutes with 10 men after Luke Shaw was sent off for a second booking in the game.
Coach Gareth Southgate has plenty of attacking talent to choose from despite on-form England forward Marcus Rashford pulling out of the qualifiers due to injury. Record breaker Harry Kane is expected to lead the lines again with the help of Bukayo Saka, Phil foden, and Jude Bellingham among others. The defense also looked solid with Harry Maguire and John Stones at the heart.
UKRAINE
After missing out on last year’s World Cup, Ukraine will be keen to ensure that they make it to Euro 2024. They are in a tough group so every point counts. An away match to England is a tricky affair but Ukraine will be consoled by the fact that last time they played the hosts at Wembley, they managed to get away with a 1-1 draw.
Ukraine did well in the last edition of the UEFA Nations League with 3 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss. They recently warmed up with a 2-0 win over Brentford and have all their players available for this match. Nevertheless, Ukraine know it will be an uphill task, especially since their last meeting against the Three Lions ended in a 4-0 thumping.

TIP 1: Handicap -1 England Win @ 1.87
Ukraine have been impressive on the road in recent games, but they have played teams that are much weaker than England. At Wembley, we expect England to take control of the game from the start and should be leading by halftime before eventually winning the game.
