Romania vs Ukraine: key statistics and trends

• Romania can’t win 4 times in a row.
• Ukraine failed to win only 2 matches under the leadership of Rebrov.

Romania – the shape of the team and its analysis:

“The Tricolor” was able to make the most of last year’s circumstances in the form of a loyal draw and a decline of the group’s favourite. Then Iordanescu’s wards did not lose at all, and even took 4 points in the battles against Switzerland, eventually taking away the leadership in the group.

The team somehow fails to win in 2024. On the other hand, the only defeat happened in the struggle with Colombia – 2-3. At the same time, the team finished the game with Northern Ireland with a 1-1 draw in March and didn’t score or concede in the summer, not only against Bulgaria, but also against Liechtenstein!

Ukraine – the shape of the team and its analysis:

“The Yellow and Blues” lost to Italy in last year’s qualifying round only on additional indicators, with equal points. By the way, it was the defeat on the field of “the Squadra Azzurri” that remained for a long time the only one under the leadership of Rebrov. Still, there were enough strong-willed victories. Speaking about the match with North Macedonia, the team turned 0-2 into 3-2; the matches with both Bosnia and Iceland, where the team conceded first, brought strong-willed 2-1 success in March.

In June, the tentatively “first” line-up was able to maintain a 0-0 score in a control match with the Germans. Still, the radically changed team failed in the first half hour and lost with a 1-3 result in the battle against the Poles. Finally, Moldova was beaten with a 4-0 score.
