Ukraine meets France on a neutral field in Poland as part of the World Cup qualifiers. Despite the formal status of "hosts", the Ukrainians are deprived of the advantage of home stands. The team shows an unstable game: a victory over New Zealand (2:1) is combined with a crushing defeat by Canada (2:4), which reveals problems in defense. However, the attack with their leaders is always capable of striking a blow.
France is the undisputed favorite, possessing colossal depth of the squad and individual class. Despite some misfires in the League of Nations (defeat to Spain 4:5), the "three-colored" demonstrate a powerful attack - even in failures they score at least two goals.
We expect to see a confident victory for the guests, Ukraine is currently in decline, after the disqualification of Mudryk, their squad has become less valued in Europe, while France regularly has new stars.
