Latest football match prediction: France vs Ukraine
Since their dramatic 4-5 defeat to European champions Spain in the UEFA Nations League semi-finals earlier in June, the French national team has gone on a five-match unbeaten run (four wins, one draw) across all competitions, securing third place in the tournament and moving very close to qualifying for the World Cup.
However, Les Bleus were unable to conclude their October international break with five consecutive wins, as they had to rely on second-half goals from Christopher Nkunku and Jean-Philippe Mateta to salvage a point away at Iceland.
Despite dropping two points at Laugardalsvollur in the previous match, Didier Deschamps' team still holds a significant advantage in the race for the top spot in Group D. A win this Thursday would be enough to secure first place and a ticket to North America next June.
Having reached the 2022 World Cup final, the French national team is full of confidence that they will accomplish their mission in this international match, playing at Paris Saint-Germain's Parc des Princes, where they are unbeaten in their last five home games (four wins, one draw).
With several attacking stars sidelined due to injury, Real Madrid's main striker – Kylian Mbappé – is expected to be a key factor for the home side on Thursday night, having scored 18 goals in his first 16 games of the season for Los Blancos.
After an understandable defeat to France in their opening World Cup qualifying match in September, Ukraine did enough to keep themselves in contention for one of the top two spots in Group D in the final round of international matches of the year.
Zbirna are on a three-match unbeaten run in Group D. The visitors in Thursday night's match had a very successful October international break, with two consecutive wins against Iceland and Azerbaijan, thus consolidating their position as second-placed in the four-team group.
Since joining Genoa on a permanent contract in January 2024, Ruslan Malinovskyi has only scored 3 goals in 29 matches. However, he has already scored the same number of goals in just 2 World Cup qualifying matches this year – a testament to his importance to Rebrov's team.
Aiming for their fifth victory this year at Parc des Princes, Ukraine currently sit second in Group D after four matches. A single point against France could be enough to secure them a play-off spot in March.
Following two crucial victories against Iceland and Azerbaijan last month, Zbirna are aiming for three consecutive wins in official competitions – something they haven't achieved since 2019, when their impressive run in the Euro 2020 qualifiers secured their place in the European finals.
