France Preview – Can France dominate?
France bring a strong sequence of results into their World Cup qualifying campaign as the hosts look to get off to a winning start in the other match in Group D against Ukraine at their Stade de France, having suffered just one defeat in their last 15 matches in all competitions.
That one lapse was a 2-0 loss to Finland in a friendly though, while competitive matches have seen France put together a 13-match unbeaten run while on home soil, France have won 16 of their last 20 matches overall.
Les Bleus have also won five of their last six World Cup qualifiers at home with victories over Finland, Ukraine 3-0, Bulgaria, Sweden, Netherlands and Belarus, so they look well placed to get off to a good start on Wednesday night.
Ukraine Preview – Can Ukraine avoid heavy defeat?
Ukraine could be forgiven for fearing the worst as they prepare for their Group D opener away in France on Wednesday night following their 7-1 mauling against their hosts in their last visit back in October of last year.
In addition, recent results have been very concerning for the visitors as they’ve lost six of their last seven matches overall, conceding a total of 21 goals in these six defeats and scoring just 3 in reply, so they’ll do well to pick up even a point here one thinks.
On the road, Ukraine have won just two of their last six World Cup qualifiers away from home which were picked up in wins at Finland and Kosovo, but France are whole different prospect especially in their own backyard.
