On Thursday, March 26, the Ukrainian national football team, which has learned its potential opponents in the 2026 World Cup group, will hold a nominally home semi-final of the World Cup qualification play-off against the Swedish team at the Ciutat de Valencia stadium in Valencia, Spain (referee – João Pinheiro from Portugal).
VIDEO OF THE DAY
In previous years, the “yellow-blue” have met five times (two official games at the European Championships and three friendly matches). Ukraine won three times (1:0 in 2008, 2:1 at Euro 2012 and 2:1 in overtime at Euro 2020), one match ended in a draw (1:1 in 2011) and the Scandinavians won once (1:0 in 2011).
In the upcoming match, bookmakers see the Englishman Graham Potter's team as a slight favorite. For example, the GGBet office accepts bets on a victory for Sergey Rebrov's team in regular time with odds of 2.97, a draw — 3.28, and a win for the Swedes — 2.57.
The Ukraine-Sweden match will be broadcast live in our country (starting at 9:45 PM ) by the MEGOGO media service and the free MEGOGO Sport TV channel, which broadcasts on T2 and cable networks.
