Ukraine play their second game at UEFA Euro 2020 this week as they take on North Macedonia at the National Arena on Thursday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and have a point to prove in this fixture.
North Macedonia gave a good account of themselves against Austria last week but will have to be more robust in this fixture. The likes of Eljif Elmas and Goran Pandev have been impressive so far and will want to make an impact going into this game.
Ukraine, on the other hand, nearly managed to pull off a stunning coup against the Netherlands and will want to secure their first victory at Euro 2020. Shevchenko has built a formidable Ukraine squad and will want his charges to prove their mettle on Thursday.
