Ukraine host France in the World Cup Qualification Europe on 5 September 2025, Friday. Get our free predictions, betting tips, odds insights, team form guide & H2H stats for this clash. This fixture is scheduled to kicks off at 19:45 UK Time.
Ukraine returned to winning ways in June when they edged New Zealand 2-1 in Toronto, Canada. However, inconsistency remains an issue for the hosts, with two wins and two defeats across their last four matches. As they begin their journey to the next Mundial, stability will be key.
In competitive fixtures, Ukraine have been relatively solid, losing just once in their last six outings (three wins, two draws, one defeat). Yet, defensive frailties remain a concern, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last seven games, and only once in their last ten.
France, meanwhile, endured a mixed UEFA Nations League campaign, winning twice and losing twice. Despite that, their pedigree speaks for itself: World Cup winners in 2018 and finalists in 2022, Les Bleus are eager to kick off this qualifying campaign with a statement victory.
Away from home, France have looked vulnerable, losing two of their last three matches on the road. Still, their record against Ukraine offers confidence, having remained unbeaten in recent encounters.
France are favourites here, with Les Bleus unbeaten in their last four matches against Ukraine (two wins and two draws). More broadly, they have lost just one of the last ten head-to-head meetings, winning five and drawing four. That level of dominance suggests they should prevail again.
A high-scoring game is also on the cards. The last five meetings between these sides have averaged 3.4 goals per match, while Ukraine’s last five games averaged 3.8, reflecting their attacking strength but defensive issues.
Lastly, both teams should find the net. Neither has been reliable at the back in recent games, both failed to keep a clean sheet in their last three head-to-head clashes. Adding to that, Ukraine have seen both teams score in six of their last seven matches, while France have just one clean sheet in their last six away fixtures. Fans can expect an entertainingú contest.
