Unbeaten after four group stage games, France are well on track to secure automatic qualification to the 2026 World Cup, and if they can secure victory on Thursday night at the Parc des Princes, their spot will officially be booked.

With key players returning from injury, Didier Deschamps has a talented set of players at his disposal, and they should be looking forward to this matchup against Ukraine.

📈 France v Ukraine Form & Stats

These sides faced off back in September, on matchday one of the group stages, and France cruised to a 2-0 win on their travels. While Ukraine did manage to fashion some high-quality chances, Les Bleus racked up a total of 2.21xG from their 16 shots, and were the better side on the night. Goals from Michael Olise and Kylian Mbappe secured the three points for the French, getting them off to an ideal start. 

France picked up nine points from their first three group matches, putting them in an optimal position to secure top spot in Group D, and automatic qualification to the World Cup. 

As it stands, Ukraine are three points above Iceland, who have an easier matchup against Azerbaijan on Thursday night. If Ukraine lose to France, and Iceland beat Azerbaijan, which is a likely pair of outcomes, Iceland and Ukraine will be tied on points going into the final group stage game. 

Ukraine picked up six points during the October international break, with wins over Iceland and Azerbaijan, so they have every reason to be confident coming into this clash.
