France will be aiming to clinch their spot at the 2026 World Cup finals with a win over Ukraine at Parc des Princes. Les Tricolores are leading the chase for automatic qualification and they are seen as hot favourites to win Thursday’s encounter. The likes of Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue, and Aurelien Tchouameni have been ruled out with injuries, while Tottenham striker Randal Kolo Muani is back to the squad. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Real Madrid top scorer Kylian Mbappe.
The Ukrainians, on the other hand, aim to retain second place in the standings. The visitors are brimming with confidence following back-to-back wins over Iceland and Azerbaijan, but given their negative record against France, home win should be considered. To make things even worse for the away team, Nottingham Forest left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko misses out with injury.
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Thursday 13 November 2025 at 19:45.
