Ukraine vs Spain Soccer Betting Tips – Nations League 2020
Will Ukraine also score against Spain?
The Ukrainian national team can certainly not complain about weak opponents these days. After the Eastern Europeans played a friendly match against France the previous week and had to play against Germany at the weekend, the end of this international phase will be a clash with the “Furia Roja” in October.
Although the team of coach Andriy Shevchenko showed good approaches against the DFB-Elf at times and finally only narrowly lost 2-1, it is hardly surprising that on Tuesday evening between Ukraine and Spain the odds of the best bookmakers were clearly in favour of the guests turn down southern Europe.
The starting position is also not entirely uninteresting for the Löw team because, after three out of six games in Group 4 of Nations League Division A, the Iberians are currently leading the ranking with seven points. Germany lurks in second place with five points, while the yellow-blue – status now – duel with the Swiss in a long-distance duel to remain in the highest possible division of the newly created format.
The first leg over a month ago ended with a confident 4-0 win for coach Luis Enrique’s team, who still has the challenging task of pushing ahead with the rejuvenation process that has been initiated for the Reds. Recently there was a bit of a hitch in the game, which is why our tip is aimed at a game with fewer goals before the match between Ukraine and Spain.
Ukraine – Statistics & current form
France, Germany, Spain – many years ago the Ukrainians would probably have dreamed of such well-known opponents apart from a major tournament. Now the Eastern Europeans had the last three world champions in front of their chests, one after the other.
So far, the Shevchenko troops have had to pay copious amounts of money. A violent 1: 7 clap against the French was followed on Saturday by the 1: 2 bankruptcy against the DFB-Elf, in which the yellow-blue, however, indicated that they have long made the leap into the expanded top of Europe.
Will Ukraine remain difficult to play at home?
Especially in their own stadium, the world number 24. be an extremely uncomfortable opponent. In September, for example, Ukraine defeated the Swiss 2-1 at home in the Nations League. In 2019, the Showto-Blakytni in the national stadium of Kyiv remained completely undefeated. Five of the six matches were victorious, including against reigning European champions Portugal (2: 1).
It is also interesting that in five of the eight home games in 2019 and 2020, a bet on a maximum of three goals would have paid off during the course of the game. The defence usually works very solid and wants to be even more stable on Tuesday after seven goals against France and two against the Germans. The experiences of the last two matches are, in our opinion, definitely a reason to hint at Under 3.5 between Ukraine and Spain.
The probable lineup of Ukraine:
Bushchan; Karavaev, Zabarnyi, Mykolenko, Sobol; Yarmolenko, Malinovskyi, Sydorchuk, Kovalenko, Tsygankov; Yaremchuk

Spain – Statistics & current form
Luis Enrique has been Spain’s national coach again since mid-November 2019. The former Barcelona coach had to wait almost a year before his comeback. In September 2020 the time had finally come. Thanks to a 1-1 draw in Germany and a strong 4-0 win at home against Ukraine, the debut could definitely be described as successful.
In the meantime, Furia Roja has completed four international matches under the direction of the 50-year-old football teacher from Gijon. The 2010 world champion is still undefeated. Two draws face two wins. Another positive thing from the Iberians’ point of view is the fact that they currently lead Group 4 of the Nations League with seven points from three matches and are well on their way to being the first to reach the semi-finals.
Spain’s offensive with a lot of room for improvement
The next step towards the Final Four tournament is to be made on Tuesday evening. This requires an increase in the offensive, because both last week with the 0-0 win in Portugal and the flattering 1-0 win against Switzerland, the attack remained below our own possibilities. No more than two goals were scored in three of the four international matches played this calendar year.
From a purely statistical point of view, the odds of under 3.5 between Ukraine and Spain should be taken into account, especially since guests from the south, especially away from home, do not usually display the vehemence and penetrative power of their home. In addition, the question of quality must also be asked, as the former world champion has long since ceased to be able to rely on the really big names at the top. On Tuesday, for example, Moreno, Oyarzabal, Fati and Ceballos are expected in the starting line-up.
The probable lineup of Spain:
De Gea; Navas, Ramos, Torres, Gaya; Merino, busquets, ceballos; Fati, Gerard Moreno, Oyarzabal

Ukraine vs Spain Direct comparison / H2H balance
For the seventh time, Ukraine and Spain face each other in an international match on Tuesday evening. So far, the Eastern Europeans are still waiting for their first victory against the former world and European champions. A single draw in the 2004 European Championship qualification is faced with five bankruptcies.
A month ago, the Iberians prevailed 4-0 at home but benefited from an underground first half of the yellow-blue, who were behind with 0: 3 after about half an hour. We rule out a similar one-sided course for next Tuesday, which is why before the duel between Ukraine and Spain, a prediction of a maximum of one goal in the first round also includes Value.
Ukraine vs Spain Soccer Betting Tips
In the German Nations League group, Ukraine and Spain face each other on Tuesday evening. According to the betting odds, the betting providers assume that the favourite Iberians will prevail. This thesis is not too far-fetched, especially since Furia Roja won the first leg 4-0 a month ago and also leads the table in Division A with seven points from three meetings.
In addition, when distributing the odds, it was certainly taken into account that the yellow-blue team came under the wheels 1: 7 against France a week ago and also lost 2: 1 against Germany. Even against the DFB-Elf, you could see that the Shevchenko team showed good approaches and can generally be an extremely uncomfortable opponent at home.
Key facts – Ukraine vs Spain tips
Ukraine has only lost one of their last eight home games
In three of the four Spanish internationals under Luis Enrique, there were a maximum of two hits
A month ago, Spain beat Ukraine 4-0
If we take a look at the statistics, there are also many indications that there will not be too many goals on Tuesday. The Spanish offensive recently did not necessarily convince against Switzerland and Portugal. In three of four matches under Luis Enrique, not even the over 2.5 was cracked. We also expect the Ukrainians to be more concentrated and sometimes more stable after conceding nine goals in 180 minutes.
The bottom line is that we decide between Ukraine and Spain for a tip that a maximum of three goals will be scored. The betting base odds comparison shows a very interesting 1.66 at the top for the Under 3.5, which we allude with a confident use of seven units.
Betting Tips: Under 3.5
Odds: 1.66
