Euro 2020: UKR vs AUT Preview

By Parameswaran Sankaranarayanan June 21, 2021

Ukraine (UKR), Austria (AUT) play against each other in Group C, with the winner advancing to the knockout stages of Euro 2020. A draw will be enough for the Ukrainians as they have scored more goals than Austria in the opening two games. Andriy Shevchenko’s men have found the net in both the games, while Das Team failed to breach the Netherlands backline in their last game.

Viktor Tsygankov, who scored the winner against Spain in the Nations League fixture last year, could find a place in the starting eleven tonight. He missed Ukraine’s tournament opener due to a calf issue but played the final 20 minutes against North Macedonia. In-form Andriy Yarmolenko grabbed two assists against Austria in a friendly in 2012.

Austria will have the services of Marko Arnautovic as the forward returns from a one-match suspension. He scored twice in the last meeting between Austria and Ukraine. They will also be relying on experienced players David Alaba and Marcel Sabitzer, who both played a crucial role in the victory over North Macedonia.
