It is a rare situation to find valuable odds for England in international tournaments. However, today I see a big difference in raw class between the teams. Before the tournament I thought Ukraine to be able to do better than many expected and in a way they have advancing this far. So why go against them today? They have not played really  well in any of their matches. Especially versus Austria, who are not a particularly good team they were simply awful. They did beat North Macedonia but who were in my opinion the worst team in this tournament but even in that match the North Macedonians had their chances and a draw would not have been unjustified. Against Netherlands, who ended up being a major disappointment, they had their moment coming from 0-2 to 2-2 but ended up losing and did not deserve more. They beat Sweden in their most recent match but Sweden were slightly better in terms of expected goals and were the more active team offensively. The match changed after Sweden got a red card. Even after that Ukraine were not able to dominate the match despite the late winning goal. I do not see them any real tools to hurt the rock-solid English defense who have not allowed a goal in this tournament and also have allowed very little expected goals for their opponents - including Germany.

England have improved since the start of the tournament and are a lot stronger than Ukraine in every area of the game. Kane doesn't seem to be 100% fit but is still a  very dangerous player. However, England has so many players to choose from and have a lot of quality on the bench too. This is a major advantage as there have been many matches in a relatively short period of time in this tournament and due to Covid19 that changed the schedules of many top leagues many players are physically and mentally tired after a long season that started after a very short break. I expect a lot from fast players Mount and Sterling today. Foden who plays for Manchester City is also a very talented youngster - perhaps he will get his chance today despite starting on the bench.

I'm going for England to win by at least two goals as if and probably when England takes to lead Ukraine will have to take big risks which I hope will cost them!
