On September 5, Ukraine and France will hold their meeting in the World Cup in 2026. The match will start at 21:45 Kyiv time.
Ukraine
In world football, the national team of Ukraine is perceived as an opponent, which is exactly worth fearing. The recent official meetings of Sergiy Rebrov’s wards were held in March this year, when the playoffs for the right to play in the elite of the League of Nations almost did not overcome Belgium, winning at home 3: 1, giving way to the exit of 0: 3.
After the mentioned meetings, there were two more friendly matches in June, when they failed against Canada – 2: 4, but were able to beat New Zealand – 2: 1. The composition consists of a decent level players, however, many stars do not have a game practice. It is about Dovbik, Zinchenko, Yaremchuk, these players will be difficult to show their best football.
There are also debutants in the application – Ocheretko and Mikhavko. It will be incredibly difficult to fight the French for the first place in the quartet, but Azerbaijan and Iceland are simply obliged to ahead.
France
France is a real monster of world football, the current Vice-Champions of the World, they are always among the favorites of any major tournament. Even the team’s application for future matches looks terrifying, the list includes Mbappe, Dembele, Barcol, Tyuram and many more star players. Deham made two forced changes, the wools and salibs were dropped due to injuries, and they were replaced accordingly by Ekitica and Palas.
The last time the team played in the playoffs of the League of Nations, where in the semi-finals gave way to the Spaniards-4: 5, and in the match for the third place were able to beat Germany-2: 0.
Of course, the French have to win their group confidently, however, you need to prove their advantage on the field. Didier Deham acknowledged that Ukraine is the most difficult rival for his team in this selection.
Personal meetings
The teams have a lot of history of facets, where the French have an advantage. Just one victory was won by Ukrainians, it was in the playoffs before the World Cup in 2013, when they won 2-0 at home, but then they lost 0: 3.
Forecast
In all circumstances, the French would be the favorites of this meeting, and here the game will be held on a neutral field in Wroclaw.
GGBET experts give the following forecast for this meeting: the victory of Ukraine – 8.29 draw – 4.67, the victory of France – 1.39. Watch the GGBET line on the site and find an interesting match. Keep your line!
Of course, Ukraine will be supported by more viewers, and many Polish fans should come to such a match. The game will probably be with the advantage of France, although Ukrainians can give a good match. I consider here a promising rate for sharing balls for 2,06.
