Ukraine vs France Predictions

• Ukraine have only won four of their last 11 games
• Ukraine have only beaten France once in 11 attempts
• Both teams have scored in eight of Ukraine’s last ten matches

Both teams to get on scoresheet in French win

France face what is on paper their toughest World Cup qualifier as they take on Ukraine in Poland on Friday.

Les Bleus have reached the last two World Cup finals, winning in 2018, so anything but straightforward qualification would be seen as a massive disappointment.

They should be able to start qualifying with a win as Ukraine have not been at their best recently.

The Blue and Yellows have only won four of their last 11 games, suffering defeats to Albania, Czech Republic and Canada in that run.

France were third in the Nations League final the last time that they were seen, beating Croatia in the quarters before losing narrowly in a ding-dong clash with Spain in the last four and then seeing off Germany 2-0 in the third-placed play-off.

Didier Deschamps’ side have won five of their last eight matches and their superior attacking talent should be the key to this one.

However both teams have found the net in eight of Ukraine’s last ten games so they should be able to get on the scoresheet, albeit in defeat.

Ukraine’s last four games have produced 16 goals so a 3-1 win for France is the correct score selection in this one.
