France vs Ukraine Prediction, Line-ups, Injuries & Team News

France will welcome Ukraine to the Parc des Princes for their latest 2026 FIFA World Cup European qualifiers. The Les Blues have enjoyed a flawless run in the build-up to this game and are in pole position to secure a ticket to the United States and Canada for next summer's World Cup.

France vs Ukraine Preview

Didier Deschamps's men have won four and drawn one of their last five outings and sit at the top of Group D with ten points. They possess an indomitable record over the visitors with seven wins and five draws in 13 meetings. France will miss the services of Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele, who is out due to an injury, but will be boosted by the presence of Kylian Mbappe, who has nine goal contributions in his last five games with Les Blues.

Meanwhile, Ukraine arrives on French soil as the underdogs and will fancy their chances against a star-studded home side. The visitors find themselves just behind the table toppers in the second position with seven points from two wins and a draw in four matches. The Ukraine National Football Team have done really well so far, but this will be their biggest test. This game holds a lot of importance for the Blue and Yellow because any slip-up at this stage of the qualifiers could ruin all their hard work. Their back-to-back wins over Iceland and Azerbaijan must have done them the world of good and will help them go all out against the France National Football Team.
