Ukraine, for their part, had an impressive start, with their comfortable win taking them a step closer to the knockouts. Ruslan Rosan's side will look to get a win to consolidate their qualification chances and avoid having to need a result against favourites Spain next week.

Romania, meanwhile, will have home support behind them, which could spur them on as they aim to avoid an early elimination. The two sides could cancel each other out in a low-scoring draw.
