Ukraine could be outclassed again

England v Ukraine

ENGLAND have been criticised in some quarters for their performances at Euro 2012 but I think they have shown excellent resilience and I fully expect them to beat joint-hosts Ukraine in Donetsk.

The return from suspension of Wayne Rooney is a massive boost to Roy Hodgson and it's a good problem to have when you are choosing a partner because Andy Carroll and Danny Welbeck are both in good form.

I have not been impressed with Ukraine. They beat Sweden 2-1 but were outclassed by the French in a 2-0 loss and I expect a similar outcome against England.

Recommendation

England, 2pts
