Mykhailo Mudryk and Artem Dovbyk average two and 1.4 shots per game in qualifying respectively, while Italy have failed to keep a clean sheet in six of their past seven matches in all competitions. They are averaging 10.6 shots per game in qualifying and had nine when they visited Italy in September, but with qualification on the line here we’re expecting that to increase. Ukraine won’t be easy opponents for Italy and they will be keen on getting shots away, knowing that they need the three points to advance. Ukraine vs Italy tip 2: HT/FT – Draw/Italy 18/5 with BetMGM Ukraine to test holders They have also won four of their last six matches in all competitions and we can see them turning a half-time draw into a victory in the second period. Italy have scored 16 times in seven matches in Group C and seven of those goals have come in the second half of those fixtures. Ukraine were level at the break against England in September and they can achieve the same feat here, but it may be a different story after that. In three of the previous seven matches between these nations, it has been all square at the interval. With so much at stake, this promises to be a cagey contest. Ukraine vs Italy tip 1: Italy to win 3/4 with BetMGM Slow burner on the cards

They are unbeaten in nine matches against Ukraine – winning seven – and we expect them to win tonight. With the onus on Ukraine to attack that could open the door for the reigning champions.

Italy won the reverse fixture 2-1 and were good value for that victory, having 24 attempts on goal to Ukraine’s nine and 63.9 per cent of possession.

The Azzurri are second in the group, so they can afford to draw and still advance, while nothing less than a win will do for Ukraine. Winner takes all in Leverkusen this evening as Ukraine and Italy meet to decide who will join Group C winners England in returning automatically to Germany for Euro 2024 next summer.
