Ukraine coach Oleg Blokhin said Friday he was quite confident of upsetting Euro 2012 Group D rivals France and England.
"It's an acceptable draw. It's quite normal as Europe's 16 top teams qualified for the finals," Blokhin told AFP. "Of course it could be a bit better but it also could be a much worse.
"England and France can consider themselves to be our group's favourites, it's their right. But we and, I believe, Sweden have our own view of things.
"We have experience of successfully playing against France and England. And we will do our best to play with dignity in front of our fans. And I believe their support will give us strength in the matches."
Ukraine striker Andrei Shevchenko also believes there is a chance of reaching the quarter-finals.
"Luckily we avoided stronger opponents," he said. "But we will need all the support that our fans will give us to be a success."
