Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
-----------------------
Ukraine and France kick off their World Cup qualifying campaigns with a match in neutral Wroclaw, as France's Nations League involvement has placed them in a shorter, three-month qualifying group.
Team Analysis:
France’s upcoming match against Ukraine marks the beginning of the final phase for coach Didier Deschamps, who won’t renew his contract after the 2026 World Cup. Despite recent setbacks like the Nations League loss to Spain, France remains a top team with strong World Cup credentials and a dominant record against Ukraine, who have struggled in playoffs and must win to avoid another. Ukraine, while consistently reaching the Euros, have had mixed recent results and face a tough challenge to match France’s quality in this crucial qualifier.
Player Situation:
Ukraine will celebrate milestones for two defenders, Illia Zabarnyi and Vitaliy Mykolenko, while missing key players like goalkeeper Andriy Lunin and defender Oleksandr Tymchyk due to injury. New Benfica signing Georgiy Sudakov and Artem Dovbyk, aiming to prove himself after a tough start at Roma, will be tested. France faces absences too, with William Saliba and Rayan Cherki sidelined, leading to new call-ups like Hugo Ekitike and Maghnes Akliouche potentially making their debuts, while some regulars from the Nations League squad were left out.
Result Prediction:
France faces a tough opener but even a draw would keep them well-placed, as wins against Iceland and Azerbaijan are expected later. Ukraine, despite recent inconsistent form, have proven they can challenge France, having drawn both matches in the previous World Cup qualifiers.
Predicted Result: Ukraine 1-1 France.
