Ranked 33rd in the latest global FIFA rankings, Ukraine fields a large number of players who feature regularly in top European domestic leagues. The team boasts fine close control on the ball, with a midfield unit that delivers outstanding playmaking and connection across all areas of the pitch. They are adept at stretching opposing defenses by shifting possession rapidly between the two flanks, combining wide advances with central runs to create high-quality shooting opportunities, while their well-drilled set-piece routines also carry notable threat. The side maintains strong tactical discipline overall, with solid build-up in positional attacks and quick, smooth transitions when winning back possession, and has shown strong mental resilience under high-stakes tournament pressure. Their main flaw comes from the inconsistent stability of their backline: central defenders are prone to mistakes when exposed to relentless high-intensity challenges, and often struggle to play clean passes

Home performance has been a solid pillar for Ukraine in recent competitive outings. The side has posted 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses across their last 10 matches, with a well-rounded squad that leans toward solid defense but lacks sharpness in final-third finishing, and they come into this tie with full competitive commitment. Northern Ireland, by contrast, have recorded 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in their past 10 fixtures. Their last outing saw a noticeable dip in overall performance even as their backline still holds up fairly well. Given the extremely high difficulty of competing for the Nations League title this cycle, Northern Ireland are highly likely to reserve partial energy for their upcoming fixtures, and their defensive organization remains extremely polished. While Ukraine have the full support of home advantage, their recent form has slipped notably, and they do not hold a big upper hand in this clash despite their very few home defeats in recent runs, leaving the final

The home side has seen a clear upward swing in form lately, racking up 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses across their past 10 outings. They hold a tangible edge in previous meetings against their opponents, with their squad’s overall technical quality ranking well above average for this competition. They enter this fixture with full competitive drive, backed by a very strong home record and reliable finishing threat. That said, their default counter-attacking tactical setup means they lack consistent penetration when they have to dominate possession, which can leave them in a passive position for stretches of the game. The visiting side has registered 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in their last 10 matches, with fairly mediocre away performance overall even if their recent run of showings has been solid enough.

Relying on the home - field advantage, they'll gradually control the ball and put pressure on the visitors. The wingers will constantly make runs to stretch the opponent's dense five - man defensive line. Their main attacking methods are crosses from the flanks combined with penetration through the middle.

Levante will adopt a 4-2-3-1 formation at home and take the initiative to attack. Relying on the home atmosphere, their main goal-scoring methods are crosses from the flanks and the striker Brugi's opportunist goals in the middle. However, there is a risk. When they push forward aggressively, there will be gaps behind their defense, which Athletic Bilbao can take advantage of for quick counterattacks on the flanks. If they lose the midfield battle, their defense will be under continuous pressure. Recently, Bilbao has been deploying a 4-2-3-1 formation, focusing on flanking attacks and through runs in the half-spaces. They heavily rely on the individual skills of Williams to create goal-scoring opportunities. When playing away, they won't rush into all-out attacks blindly. Instead, they prioritize a solid defensive setup and look to capitalize on counterattacks. If Guruzeta is absent, their efficiency in breaking down opponents' defenses in positional play will decline, and they'll have
