France national football team are looking to clinch their place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup on home soil as they welcome Ukraine national football team to the Parc des Princes. Positioned at the summit of Group D, the hosts are carrying a commanding record.
They also hold a strong chance to seal direct qualification. Meanwhile, Ukraine are heading into this fixture still in pursuit of a top-two finish but are facing an uphill battle. With their campaign behind them, they must produce a standout performance to challenge France’s control of the group.

France remain in prime position in Group D. They will now be looking to re-assert their dominance after dropping points in their last outing. Star forward Kylian Mbappe continues to be the key figure in attack.
Whereas, a handful of regular starters are facing fitness checks ahead of the match. Manager Didier Deschamps is expected to keep the squad largely intact. But he may rotate as he eyes qualification and squad freshness.

Ukraine are arriving having built momentum from recent away wins. But they are still trailing France in the group standings. They will once again rely heavily on creative midfielder Ruslan Malinovskyi.
While Malinovskyi will provide attacking thrust, younger defensive options are expected to step up in a challenging environment. Manager Sergiy Rebrov will demand discipline and resilience against a confident French side.
France have scored two or more goals in each of their last six competitive home matches. They’ve shown consistent attacking output. Their opening win against Ukraine in this campaign ended in a 2-0 win. Both goals came from their leading offensive players.
Meanwhile, Ukraine have conceded multiple goals in four of their last five matches away from home, highlighting vulnerability in defence. Given France’s momentum and Ukraine’s recent leaky form, an over 2.5 total-goals scenario appears well supported.
Mbappe remains France’s central attacking threat. He is currently closing in on national scoring records. In the last encounter between these sides, he struck to show his dominance. Ukraine is expected to sit back and absorb pressure. Hence, the forward should benefit from space and chances. This makes him a strong candidate to score at any time.
Young winger Michael Olise has stepped up for France during this qualification cycle. He has demonstrated both goal-scoring and creative ability at club and international level. His movement inside and his link-play on the flanks offer an additional outlet behind France’s main striker. Against a Ukraine side likely to focus on limiting Mbappe, Olise may flourish in transition. It justifies a bet on him to score or assist.
| Picks | Moneyline |
| Kylian Mbappe to score first | +220 |
| Jean-Philippe Mateta to score anytime | -190 |
| Bradley Barcola to assist anytime | +210 |
| Michael Olise to either score or assist | -170 |
| Ivan Kalyuzhnyi to see a card | +160 |

France are arriving as clear favourites and should assert control early in Paris. Especially as they’re pressing for a win that would secure top spot in Group D. Ukraine have improved recently but have struggled to break down well-organised defences. They also tend to concede when chasing games away from home.
France’s attack, led by Mbappe and supported by Olise, is in fine form. They’re likely to deliver a number of well-taken goals. Ukraine may mount intermittent attacking threats but will find little joy against a balanced French setup. A 3-0 win for France seems the most plausible outcome.
The France vs Ukraine UEFA World Cup qualifiers clash is on November 13, 2025, at the Parc des Princes Stadium, Paris, France.
France are favorites to win with a moneyline at -525, to draw at +600 and for Ukraine to win at +1550.
Kylian Mbappe to score anytime: -150
Bradley Barcola to assist anytime: +210
Michael Olise to either score or assist: -167
