The Blue and Yellow have made their way up the UEFA rankings, now sitting in 22nd place and they have plenty of talent in their ranks. There is Arsenal fullback Oleksandr Zinchenko and Chelsea’s Mykhailo Mudryk. The experienced Andriy Yarmolenko starts on the bench.
Romania will not give up easily and lots of their recent results are very tight. This is their first time back in the Euros since 2016. On that occasion, they finished bottom of their group with just one point and have only a single win from the six occasions that they have featured in the Euros. The Tricolours are, however, known to pose a particular threat from set pieces.
This group also includes Belgium, but the second qualifying spot is very much up for grabs. A win would be an enormous boost for whoever can claim it.
Here's how they line up:
Romania: Nita; Ratiu, Dragusin, Burca, Bancu; Man, R. Marin, M. Marin, Stanciu, Coman; Dragus
Ukraine: Lunin; Konoplia, Zabarnyi, Matviyenko, Zinchenko; Stepanenko, Shaparenko; Tsygankov, Sudakov, Mudryk; Dovbyk

If you're not in your home country during Euro 2024 and are unable to live stream a game from wherever you are, you can still tune in via a virtual private network, or VPN.

But you've got other VPN options too, so check out our full list of the best VPN services.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.S. and want to view your usual U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to BBC iPlayer and watch Romania vs Ukraine live online.
