Both Ukraine and Slovenia finished third of their respective qualifying groups and entered the play-offs round. These two legs will decide which nation will participate in the Euro 2016 hosted by France and the other will stay home.
History is not in Ukraine’s side but their coach Mykhaylo Fomenko says he does not believe in histories. He admitted that it would be better to play the second game at home but says that they will make the most of what they have got.
Ukraine have experience of beating French side in 2014 World Cup qualifiers. We believe his side will play with the same momentum.
Team News:

As for Slovenia, Robert Beric will miss the game after suffering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
