Ukraine v North Macedonia Tips: Back the Yellow and Blue to bounce back in Bucharest

Football tipster TwoPoundPunt gives his views on the three best Ukraine v North Macedonia tips in Thursday's Group C clash.

Both sides tasted defeat in their first games and know that they must pick up a win here to stand any chance of qualifying for the knockout stages.

Ukraine are odds on favourites to win the match which kicks off on Thursday at 2pm in Romania.

Yaremchuk was pivotal in the mini fightback from Ukraine against the Netherlands in their opening fixture. He had three shots, all on target scoring the equaliser at the time. North Macedonia were turned over 3-1 by Austria and Ukraine must be looking for three points and a few goals here. He will lead the line again and will certainly get his share of the chances.

Malinovsky provided a team high three key passes against the Dutch and picked an assist. In a game I expect Ukraine to win comfortably he will be involved around set pieces and key in setting up attacks. He should see a lot more of the ball here and can put himself even more on the radar than he already is.

As mentioned, I see a comfortable win here for Ukraine so this bet plays into that logic. I wonder how the legs of the North Macedonia players will be especially with a 37-year-old leading the line. 3 points here gives them a great chance of progressing with best third place finishes up for grabs.
