Sweden vs Ukraine prediction: How will Euro 2020 fixture play out tonight?

The final couple of round of 16 games have a lot to live up to on Tuesday, after the crazy nature of Monday’s two clashes which saw 14 goals, both games go to extra time late on and a penalty shootout.

Sweden against Ukraine doesn’t initially seem like the sort of match-up which will go to quite such extreme lengths, but knockout football does strange things to players at times and the pressure will be on to make the most of an opportunity to make the last eight at a major finals.

Sweden topped Group E unbeaten to take their place in this round, while Ukraine qualified as the fourth and final third-placed side in the group stage.

All eyes will be on Alexander Isak for the Swedes and Roman Yaremchuk for the designated away side, with both centre-forwards having impressed at Euro 2020 so far.
