Compelled to accept the third-place finish in their qualification pool, only falling short due to a lesser goal margin compared to Italy in second, Ukraine now faces the playoff challenge, where they must overcome two additional hurdles to secure their spot in the EURO finals in Germany.

The first of these hurdles on their path to the goal was cleared earlier this week when they staged a miraculous late revival to snatch a 2-1 victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Zenica, all thanks to Roman Yaremchuk's heroics who first leveled the score in the 85th minute and then three minutes later assisted Artem Dovbyk for the winner.

Just 90 minutes away from their fourth consecutive continental showdown, Serhiy Rebrov and his high-flying squad are brimming with confidence as they eye their target, with a stunning last-gasp comeback triumph against Bosnia and Herzegovina marking their third victory in the last four competitive outings.

As for Iceland's national squad, they've been granted a chance to battle for entry into the final tournament in Germany under unusual circumstances, despite finishing the qualifying cycle in fourth and an incredible 12 points behind the automatic slots.

Conscious of the opportunity presented to them, the squad led by Age Hareide efficiently seized the moment and sprinted their way into the Euros playoff final, following a dominant 4-1 victory over a 10-man Israel at the neutral Szusza Ferenc Stadium, with the Skyblue and Whites unable to host due to the nation's ongoing conflicts.

In spite of delivering their most impressive performance under Age Hareide's tenure, the Icelanders are not thrilled about being the visitors, as their recent away ventures do little to instill confidence, ending up on the wrong end in four of the last six competitive outings and shipping an average of two goals per match in that span.

Despite being deprived of the comfort of playing in their war-torn homeland, Ukraine carries the role of favorites to emerge as winners of Path B's final, but it's hard to say they'll have an easy task, especially considering that Iceland is attack-minded after a four-goal  demolition of Israel.

Given the red-hot form of the strikers from both sides, fans can expect an exhilarating and high-scoring clash, yet it's Dovbyk and his co who are poised to sail to a win that will catapult them into this year's final in Germany.
