Ukraine v Slovenia First Goalscorer Tip

Konoplyanka was a man who was stalked by English clubs including Spurs and Liverpool before he decided to make the move to Europa League champions Sevilla. He has started well in Spain and has a decent record for his country. He has found the net on 11 occasions whilst turning out for his home nation and his ability to do something special could be a deciding factor for the hopes of the Ukrainians.

My next Ukraine v Slovenia prediction is for Konoplyanka to score first, the best odds are 7/1 with 888Sport and if you open a new account you’ll get your odds trebled, so that’s 21/1.

Of their combined 20 Euro 2016 qualifiers, only six of the matches have seen both teams find the back of the net. This is bound to be a nervy affair with so much at stake. Looking at the form books 8/15 with Ladbrokes for both teams not to score should be a shrewd bet and possibly the best football bet tip this weekend.
