Slovakia created a small sensation in the first round, beating Belgium 1-0, thus increasing their chances for the play-offs.
Ukraine also created a sensation, but an unpleasant one - a 3-0 loss to Romania. Lunin, who had a great season in Real Madrid, let the team down by making a few mistakes that led to goals.
Ukraine need only a win today, and with a lot of goals, if they are to qualify for the playoffs through the ranking of the 3rd place teams. But Slovakia is also set for 3 points today, as a win will most likely guarantee the team a playoff spot. We expect goals today, Slovakia though played competently in defence against Belgium, but Ukraine will definitely not destroy their chances like Lukaku.
Prediction: at least 3 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 2.5" bet, odds 2.19
