Ukraine After eight matches in the League of Nations-2025, the Ukrainian national team has five victories-over the United States (3: 0), Cuba (3: 2), Turkey (3: 0), Japan (3: 2) and Bulgaria (3: 1). Blue-yellow defeats were suffered from France in the starting match of the second week, as well as from Brazil and Iran-both times on Tai Breika during the first week of competition.
Raul Losano’s team demonstrates a confident game in most game components – at a reception, in attack and especially in defense. The most powerful side of the team at this stage of the tournament is the game play. It was the block that became the determining factor in several victorious matches. The symbol of this advantage is the team captain Yuriy Semeniuk – the central blocking was recognized as the best player of his role as a result of the first two weeks of competition.
One of the main problems is unstable. In successful episodes, she was a powerful weapon that knocked out the opponent and allowed a series of points. At the same time, in some matches, Ukrainians made a lot of mistakes on the feed – in fact it actually cost the whole set.
Another strength is the variability of the composition. Losano skillfully uses the depth of the bench and in a timely manner replaces, which allows the team to change the course of the game. This tactical flexibility has repeatedly rescued Ukraine in the tournament and allowed to break the course of difficult matches.
Netherlands The Netherlands national team remains among the outsiders of the tournament after two competitive weeks. With one victory and four points, Joel Banks’s wards are ranked 17th in the standings-one step towards the departure area. During the eight matches, the Dutch was able to win only one victory – over Turkey, and then replenished their asset with only another point.
The lack of the main leader of the team-Nimir Abdel-Aziza-complicates the situation. One of the best diagonal attackers in the world is missing the season of the League of Nations-2025, and without its main attacking force, the Netherlands team loses significantly in the efficiency of the end of attacks.
Statistics of eye meetings
The national teams of Ukraine and the Netherlands have been repeatedly met in official matches at the World Cup, Europe and the Golden European Line.
The last confrontation took place on September 5, 2022 as part of the World Cup – then the Ukrainians confidently won with a score of 3: 0. Before that, at Euro 2019, the Dutch was stronger, who also won 3-0.
In 2018, the teams gathered twice within the Golden Eurolege – exchanged victories with an identical score of 3: 2.

Forecast
The teams approach the final part of the group stage with different tasks, but are equally motivated. Ukraine is fighting for a place in the playoffs in its debut year in the League of Nations, while the Netherlands is trying to keep a registration in the tournament.
If the Dutch manages to impose their opponent their pace and play style, they can create some difficulties for blue and yellow. However, the team of Joel Banks does not look a serious rival. Ukraine is more convincing in almost all game components.
Forecast: I expect to be a busy but controlled match for Ukraine. I will predict the victory of Ukrainians with a score of 3: 0. Bookmakers evaluate this result with a factor of 2.54.
