Denmark vs Ukraine Prediction 5 July 2026
🔊 In the EuroBasket qualification tournament, Denmark are set to face Ukraine. The Scandinavian side haven't enjoyed the best results lately, but with the summer break leaving most players short of peak form, the Danes could pose a real challenge. The favourites might be in for a tough test.
Head-to-Head
📊 The previous meeting between these teams took place in November 2025, with Ukraine claiming an 88-71 victory. That remains their only head-to-head encounter to date.
Head-to-head statistics Denmark - Ukraine
Denmark Team Overview
Denmark head into this game as clear underdogs in their qualifying group. The Scandinavians have suffered a string of defeats, most recently being thrashed by Spain (81-109). Still, they managed to showcase some offensive potential in that matchup. Defensively, however, they were powerless against an elite opponent. Ukraine, though, aren’t nearly as intimidating as the Spaniards, especially with Denmark playing on home court. That home advantage could help improve their current stats: averaging 73.9 points scored and 85.2 conceded per game. They might also shoot well from beyond the arc.

Ukraine Team Overview
Recently, Ukraine faced off against Georgia and secured a convincing 95-76 victory. On paper, their upcoming opponents boast a more impressive roster than the Scandinavians. However, the summer off-season is a significant factor - many top players across the basketball world are not in peak condition at this time of year. Over their last 10 games, Ukraine have averaged 80.8 points scored and 73.7 conceded. Their chances of winning are quite strong, but a complete blowout seems unlikely.

⭐ Editor's Pick
In this matchup, the visitors are widely seen as favorites - a fair assessment given the quality of their roster. Still, the Scandinavians possess a traditional advantage in terms of size and physicality. They are capable of putting up a fight in the paint and can deliver a strong defensive performance, especially after their recent clash against one of the top teams. Signs of progress are there as well. This promises to be an intriguing contest, with the outcome possibly hanging in the balance until the final quarter. That’s why our editorial team recommends backing Denmark with a +18.5 handicap.No comments
