Famous Ukrainian commentator Igor Tsyganik shared his prediction for today's match of the 3rd round of the group stage of Euro-2025 (U-21) between the youth national teams of Ukraine and the Netherlands.
"It will be a very difficult match against the Netherlands national team, as we all fully realize, since the exit from the group to the playoffs is at stake.
I watched the Dutch game against Denmark (1:2, - ed. note). I want to say that they created a bunch of chances, but they were really unlucky. This team also plays extremely dangerously in defense, having conceded twice from both the Finns and the Danes.
This is a favorable meeting for us in that a draw would suit us. We can play defensively, catch the "Oranje" on the same mistakes in their defense, and launch counterattacks. The main thing is not to concede an early goal.
Therefore, I risk suggesting that we expect a high-scoring draw. I also predict a goal from Vladislav Vanat,” — said Tsyganik.
