The match between Romania and Ukraine in Group C of Euro 2024 will take place at 8pm on June 16. The two teams qualified in different ways. Ukraine was in the same group with two very strong teams, England and Italy, but still qualified for Euro 2024 in the play-off round.

Meanwhile, Romania had a smoother run when they topped the group with easier opponents.

Ukraine are rated higher thanks to their experience in recent Euros. They have not missed any tournament since 2012. Even at Euro 2020, this team reached the quarterfinals.

Meanwhile, Romania have only returned to the tournament since 2016. And they have a dismal record of winning just 6% of their Euro finals, the worst record among teams that have played at least twice.

It is the experience and achievements through tournaments that make Ukraine rated higher than Romania.

However, Romania have shown improvement in recent times. Under coach Iordanescu, the team is becoming more effective. In the qualifying round, although they did not face many strong teams, Romania's unbeaten record is commendable.
