Predicted to finish first over the Netherlands in its group, Ukraine unpleasantly surprised its fans with a third-placed finish. Andriy Shevchenko's squad barely made it here, after finishing the groups with a better goal difference than Finland and Slovakia. Still, this nation proved many times that they are full of surprises, as we saw them defeat Spain, Portugal, and Switzerland in the last two years. "Zbirna" is mostly filled with the best players from Ukraine's first division, led by Atlanta's Ruslan Malinovsky and Manchester City's Oleksandr Zinchenko. On the flip side, the Swedes topped their group over Spain, finishing undefeated with two victories and a goalless draw vs. the Spanish. This team plays such a great defense, with only Robert Lewandowski being able to score past it, and we may see Sweden making it far till the end of this tournament.

Janne Andersson cannot count on Mattias Svanberg for the upcoming duel. Dejan Kulusevski absolutely took over the game since he replaced Robin Quaison in the 55th minute, assisting two goals to see Sweden defeat Poland in a tense clash. Sweden's biggest problem so far has been finding an attacking partner for Alexander Isak, who has been good but lacks support in the offensive buildup. This could be abused by Ukraine's defense, leading to fast counter attacks against Sweden's rather slow defensive line, as we already saw when Poland put two past Sweden.

Ukraine did amazing after almost taking a point out of the Netherlands in a 3-2 loss, but have failed to replicate a like-so performance in the next two duels. Shevchenko's team played without any temper vs. Austria, finding just one shot on target while having more ball possession. West Ham's Andriy Yarmolenko and Gent's Roman Yaremchuk are the bright spots of this squad, with two strikers scoring all of Ukraine's goals so far.

I believe we can see a surprise in the upcoming game, as I believe Ukraine will lead Sweden to extra time, and could even find a victory in the first ninety minutes. Good luck!

预计乌克兰将在小组中击败荷兰，获得第一名，但令其球迷感到意外的是，乌克兰以第三名的成绩结束了比赛。舍甫琴科的球队在小组赛以比芬兰和斯洛伐克更好的净胜球差勉强晋级。尽管如此，这个国家多次证明了他们总是充满惊喜，在过去的两年里，我们看到他们击败了西班牙、葡萄牙和瑞士。“兹伯尔纳”的球员大多来自乌克兰甲级联赛，领头的是亚特兰大的鲁斯兰·马林诺夫斯基(Ruslan Malinovsky)和曼城的奥列克桑德尔·津琴科(Oleksandr Zinchenko)。另一方面，瑞典以小组第一的成绩战胜西班牙，以两场胜利和一场0比0战平的成绩保持不败。这支球队的防守非常出色，只有莱万多夫斯基能够进球，我们可能会看到瑞典一直坚持到本届世界杯结束。

简·安德森不能指望马蒂亚斯·思文伯格在即将到来的决斗中获胜。德扬·库卢舍夫斯基在第55分钟取代罗宾·奎森(Robin Quaison)后完全接管了比赛，助攻两球帮助瑞典在一场紧张的比赛中击败了波兰。到目前为止，瑞典最大的问题是为亚历山大·伊萨克找到一个进攻搭档，他一直很好，但在进攻集结方面缺乏支持。这可能会被乌克兰的防守所滥用，导致对瑞典相当缓慢的防线的快速反击，就像我们已经看到的，波兰两次超过瑞典。

乌克兰在以3-2的比分差点从荷兰手中夺走一分后，表现惊人，但在接下来的两场比赛中，他们都没能复制出这样的表现。舍甫琴科的球队在对奥地利的比赛中没有任何情绪，只有一次射正，但控球率更高。西汉姆的Yarmolenko和根特的Roman Yaremchuk是这支球队的亮点，到目前为止乌克兰的所有进球都是由两位前锋攻入的。

我相信我们可以在接下来的比赛中看到一个惊喜，因为我相信乌克兰会带领瑞典进入加时赛，甚至在前90分钟就能取得胜利。
