France hosts Ukraine in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 7th at Stade de France (Paris)
The world champions play reliably and confidently under Deschamps from the very beginning of his assignment. A month ago, France did not defend in the best way but made up for everything with a successful attack. First, the Blues managed to defend well and beat Sweden due to a goal scored by Mbappé (0:1), and then they played wide-open football with the vice-champions Croats and repeated the score of the World Cup final (4-2). Against the background of Ukraine, the French certainly look more powerful and skillful.

Shevchenko’s team looks interesting with the presence of Zinchenko, Yaremchuk, Malinovsky, and Yarmolenko, although the first will not help his national team due to an injury. The Yellow-Blues started successfully in the top division of the Nations League and gained a 2-1 victory over Switzerland. However, they were destroyed in Spain (0:4). In general, the Ukrainians still have serious problems against the top teams, and taking into account the loss of Zinchenko, the team’s attacking potential weakens. Therefore, the visitors are unlikely to count on a successful result in the upcoming match.
The teams played their last head-to-head match in the playoffs for the 2014 World Cup. Ukraine won at home (2-0), and France took confident revenge in Paris (3-0), but a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since then. Now there are several factors towards the victory of the world champions. They have a higher class and a much more powerful squad, and the Ukrainians do not know how to play against the tops. In general, Shevchenko's team is promising, but nothing more. I think the current world champions will manage to cope with their weakened opponents.
Prediction for the match: France to win
