In my opinion Ukraine is clear favorite of today's match up and they should be able to make 3 points here.

In overall I see big difference between both teams even in terms of ambition. Before start of the tournament Ukraine goal was to get qualification into knockout stage and they have all required tools to achieve that. On the other hand for North Macedonia is already big success to play here and they will not cry even with 0 points at the end of the group stage.

For both teams it's a 'must win' game. For sure they will not play for draw as both teams lost in opening match. In comparison of the performances Ukraine looked much better. Ukraine played against Netherlands, one of the strongest team on Euro and they showed good football despite loss 2:3. Ukraine proved their firepower in offensive formation. They scored twice and created opportunities for next goals. Atalanta offensive midfielder and Ukraine star Malinovsky looked very hot, same midfielder Zinchenko from Manchester City. West Ham winger Yarmolenko was almost everywhere. Striker Yaremchuk scored a goal and recorded assist - he received Man of the match award and he should be able to continue his hot streak today because North Macedonia defensive formation is really poor.

North Macedonia conceded 3 goals against Austria and luckily they avoided bigger loss. Austria fully dominated them and I don't see them as a better/much better team than Ukraine. On the paper Ukraine offensive formation for me looks better than Austrian. North Macedonian goalkeeper Dimitrievski was very poor (the worst player on the pitch). They played with 5 defenders, but only one of them (Alioski) plays in top 5 league. They simply don't have quality there, especially on central positions and that should be huge problem against in-form Ukraine offensive players.

Ukraine should be able to score more than one goal and grab 3 points.

在我看来，乌克兰显然是今天比赛的热门，他们应该能够在这里拿到 3 分。

总的来说，在野心方面，两支球队之间也有巨大差异。在比赛开始之前，乌克兰的目标是进入淘汰赛阶段，他们拥有实现这一目标所需的能力。另一方面，北马其顿能够参加欧洲杯已经取得了巨大的成功，即使在小组赛结束他们只有0分也不会失望。

对于两支球队来说，这是一场“必须赢”的比赛。他们肯定不会接受平局，因为两队在首场比赛中都输了。两队的表现乌克兰看起来要好得多。乌克兰首场对阵荷兰，荷兰是欧洲最强的球队之一，尽管输了2:3，但他们的表现不错。乌克兰在进攻端阵型中证明了他们的火力。他们打进了两球，创造了很大的机会。亚特兰大的进攻型中场和乌克兰球星马利诺夫斯基看起来状态非常火热，同样还有来自曼城的中场津琴科。西汉姆边锋亚尔莫连科几乎无处不在。前锋 Yaremchuk 打进一球并记录了助攻——他获得了比赛最佳球员奖，他今天应该能够继续他的状态，因为北马其顿的防守阵型真的很差。

北马其顿在对阵奥地利的比赛中丢了3球，幸运的是他们避免了更大的损失。奥地利完全统治了节奏，我不认为他们比乌克兰更好。在纸面上乌克兰的进攻阵型看起来比奥地利好。北马其顿门将迪米特里耶夫斯基非常糟糕（球场上最差的球员）。他们有 5 名后卫参与防守，但其中只有一名（Alioski）在5 大联赛中踢球。他们缺少实力，尤其是在中锋位置上，对阵状态良好的乌克兰进攻球员应该会产生巨大的问题。

乌克兰应该可以打进一球以上，并且拿到3分。
