Ukraine vs Belgium TV channel, start time and how to watch Euro 2024 fixture online tonight

Belgium have again left it late to spark a run of form and get themselves through a major tournament group stage, but they know that it’s effectively win-and-in for them at Euro 2024.

A desperate showing in their opener was followed up with a much more vibrant and cohesive performance to earn a win in game two, and Group E is now there for the taking for them - and everyone else, given all four sides are locked on three points before the last matches take place.

Ukraine, of course, have more reason than most to provide sporting success as a means of relief right now, but they’ll have to be at the top of their game to match the Red Devils if Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku play in tandem as they did last time out.

A draw could be good for both to progress but might still leave Ukraine slightly nervous - a win and they’re definitely through.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the game.

What is the team news?

Ukraine have nobody to worry about in terms of fitness or suspension, so it’s likely to be the same starting XI which saw them bounce back to beat Slovakia last time out. That means Anatolii Trubin should keep his place in goal and Artem Dovbyk will lead the line again.

Belgium do have a few absentees, but injury doubts Axel Witsel and Thomas Meunier wouldn’t have been starting anyway. Dodi Lukebakio might have been a consideration on the flank but is suspended. Arthur Theate is the only other possible player to miss out with injury.

Confirmed lineups

Ukraine XI: Trubin; Tymchyk, Zabarnyi, Svatok, Matviyienko, Mykolenko; Shaparenko, Brazhko, Sudakov; Yaremchuk, Dovbyk

Belgium XI: Casteels; Vertonghen, Faes, Theate, Castagne; De Bruyne, Onana, Tielemans; Doku, Lukaku, Trossard

Odds

Ukraine 4/1

Draw 10/3

Belgium 8/13

Prediction

Belgium showed some fighting spirit at last, as well as technical quality everyone knows they have, in their last game. If they show the same again they’ll win. Ukraine 0-2 Belgium.
