In the second game on Saturday night, Ukraine takes on England in Euro 2020 quarter-final in Rome. Ukraine may be making their first appearance in the last 8 of the competition but a battling victory over Sweden in the pre-quarters would have given them confidence.

But pulling off an upset against Gareth Southgate's men in the knockouts won't be easy. England are one of the most balanced sides in the tournament and have kept 4 consecutive clean sheets. With the semi-finals and the final set to be played at Wembley, a win in Rome would dramatically push the odds in England's favour.   

Moreover, Ukraine's record against England over the years has been relatively poor. Ukraine has one win over the 3 Lions which came way back in 2009 but since then, it's been a downhill ride with Ukraine losing four of their seven meetings.
