Romania vs Ukraine prediction, lineups, odds and betting tips for the first match of the tournament in Group E.
14:00 Monday
Belgium are expected to be too strong for the others in Group E, but Romania and Ukraine can lay claim to the 'best of the rest' tag before the favourites enter the Euro 2024 fray against Slovakia.
Romania vs Ukraine Prediction
While one of the underdogs at Euro 2024, Romania are not to be taken lightly. They qualified unbeaten and conceded just five goals in 10 games, though have failed to win their last four.
Ukraine needed the UEFA Nations League playoffs to secure their spot at the tournament. There is plenty of quality throughout the squad, with a number of players featuring in Europe's top five leagues.
Romania are not to be underestimated but Ukraine should have the quality to claim three points.
Score Prediction: Romania 0-1 Ukraine (6/1 bet365)

Romania vs Ukraine Betting Tips
The Romanians failed to find the net in their recent clash with Liechtenstein. They were also left frustrated by a 0-0 draw against Bulgaria this month. In fact, Romania’s last 10 matches have seen an average of just 1.9 goals.
Neither side can afford to lose this opening fixture so backing at least one of them to keep a clean sheet looks a good bet.
Ukraine matches have been hit or miss in terms of goals. They managed to draw 0-0 with Germany at the start of June but their defensive stability was gone when they clashed with Poland just a few days later.
Serhiy Rebrov will be keen to ensure his side remains solid in this one.
