Euro 2016 preview and odds: Ukraine vs Poland

Stade Vélodrome - Marseille

Group stage - Group C

Ukraine may have already been eliminated from the tournament but they will keen to go out on a high with a win over their Euro 2012 co-hosts in Marseilles on Tuesday.

Poland need a pint to be sure of progression

Poland are currently sat in second place in Group C and need just one point to guarantee their last-16 status. However, they have not beaten Ukraine in their last five meetings and lost twice to their rivals in the 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign.

Ukraine will be motivated by the fact they can scupper their neighbours chances of making the last 16 by bowing out of the tournament on a respectable note after defeats to Germany and Northern Ireland.

Poland are unbeaten in the tournament, having beaten Northern Ireland and drawn against Germany - however, they have only scored one goal so far and will need to improve in that area if they are to achieve their goal of topping the group.

Adam Nawalka could make changes for the final game with rumours suggesting that Bartosz Kapustka could feature from the start. Robert Lewandowski and Arkadiusz Milik will be looking to make amends for some wasteful finishing in their previous matches.

Form (all competitions):

Ukraine: LLWWWWDWLW

Poland: DWDLWWWWWD

Betting predictions

Despite already being eliminated, Ukraine will not make it easy for Poland. However, it is surely just a matter of time before the formidable Polish strike force finally starts to click.

You can back Poland to win at 5/6 with Bet365.
