Ukraine U19 will need to keep it tight in a classic clash of styles
Serbia U19 enter this game coming off a tough 2-0 away defeat to Italy U19 in UEFA EURO U19 Group B 2026, a result which left them sitting in 4th place with zero points from one game, whilst Ukraine U19 are top of the pile on three points after one game.
This has all the makings of a classic fixture of styles clash as Gordan Petrić has his Serbia side playing on the front foot, with a high-tempo, width-first style of play with full-backs overlapping and pressing all over the field. Meanwhile, Dmytro Mykhaylenko has his Ukraine U19 side set up to keep the ball, squeeze the game centrally with patient build-up play and late runners.
The Ukrainians are priced up as favourites at 73/50, while Serbia U19 are 91/50 and the draw is set at a hefty 263/100. We're going to take Ukraine U19 to nick this one in a tight game, but the odds suggest that the value lies in the goals markets and we're siding with both teams to score at 3/5 and over 2.5 goals at 41/50 for our main selections.
Serbia U19's home record is a mixed bag at one win and two defeats, so they'll need to improve on that to get anything from Ukraine U19 here. Their form across all competition is two wins and three losses in their last five, but those defeats have put them off their stride somewhat, and they are coming off a 0-1 defeat to Portugal U19 in their home leg of UEFA U19 Championship Qualification League A, Group 6 2026/2027.
Ukraine U19 have made themselves at home away from home in this tournament so far, and their only away trip in this group has seen them score three and concede one, while they'll arrive in Serbia on the back of a two, one and one on their away record across all comps in their last four.
