England go into their final Group D encounter with Ukraine knowing a draw (12/5) is enough to see them through to the quarter-finals.
The co-hosts will need a win, available at 5/2 in the match betting, to progress on home soil but they have only beaten England once in four games.
The Three Lions
have come out on top in three of the other four encounters - only conceding two goals in the process - and Roy Hodgson's side are 21/20 to win and 11/4 to win to nil.

A repeat result is available at 17/2, but Oleh Blokhin's side have kept just one clean sheet in eight games - a 4-0 friendly win over Estonia - and were fortunate to ship just two goals against France in their previous outing.
