They had 55% of the ball over the ninety minutes, while they had just over three times as many shots. Les Bleus had 16 at Ukraine’s goal, with the Eastern Europeans having just five. However, four of their attempts were on target, compared to France’s six.</p> <p>A total of 18 fouls were committed (10 by Ukraine), although no cards were shown to either team. Each had four corners, while only one offside occurred (Ukraine).</p> <h2>France vs Ukraine Betting Predictions</h2> <p>The latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/world-cup/fifa-world-cup-qualifiers-europe/france-v-ukraine-9792248">France vs Ukraine betting odds</a> for the upcoming FIFA World Cup Qualifying match have the hosts as large opening favourites. Indeed, we also share the prediction that France will have too much quality for their opponents and secure their place at the 2026 tournament with a win on Friday.</p> <p>Although they will be without key players, they’ll still have enough quality. Les Bleus have not lost in the last five meetings between them. Still, there have been two 1-1 draws. Nonetheless, they are unbeaten against Ukraine at home. This includes a 7-1 victory in 2020.</p> <p>When looking for value, the<strong> ‘Correct Score’</strong> market can offer it. We like the value presented for the<strong> ‘France 2-1’</strong> outcome, as Ukraine know that they have to push for a result if they are to bolster their chances of qualifying for next year’s World Cup.</p> <p>France may take their foot off the gas a little, and have shown they can concede goals in qualifying (conceded three across four games). Ukraine have scored eight so far.</p>
