It was a terrible start for Ukraine at Euro 2024, with a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Romania. What are their remaining matches and possible route to the final?
Group E looks on paper to be one of the weaker groups at Euro 2024. Ukraine comes in as second favorites to advance from the group, largely thanks to the relatively weak sides of Romania and Slovakia who join them in Group E. Belgium completes the group and poses the biggest challenge on Ukraine’s route to the knockout stages.
Group E – Match week one
There have been six meetings between these two sides, with both sides coming out on top three times each. One of these ended in a 2-2 draw, with Ukraine coming out on top after penalties. Perhaps surprisingly, the matches between these sides have produced a lot of goals, with 24 goals scored in just six games.

There have been many meetings between these parties in recent years, with five meetings in the last nine years. It was even an honor, with two wins for each team and a goalless draw in a European Championship qualifier in 2015.
