France vs Ukraine: Match Preview

Didier Deschamps is the French national team. He captained them to their first World Cup win in 1998 and managed them to their second in 2018.

He's been in charge since 2012, making him their longest-serving manager. He'll leave his post after the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico next summer, paving the way for a new era.

First, though, he wants to bring the current one to a spectacular conclusion. Les Bleus have almost cleared the first hurdle; France are top of qualifying Group D with a three point gap, two matches to play, and a home fixture against the team in second.

They dropped points in Reykjavik last month but defeated Ukraine 2-0 in the reverse fixture.

Ukraine will play France on Thursday and Iceland in Warsaw on Sunday. In all likelihood, Iceland will have slipped past them into the play-off spot by then and they'll be level on points.

So, while France still need to take that final step, Ukraine visit the Parc des Princes with a major incentive of their own. A draw would leave them needing the mother of all miracles to qualify automatically but the advantage going into Sunday afternoon would be theirs over Iceland.

Qualification would be a major boost for Ukraine. Since joining FIFA in 1992, they have competed in the World Cup finals only once, in Germany in 2006, and managed to claw their way to the quarter-finals before Italy broke their stubborn resistance.

A return, two decades on, would be an incredible achievement in the circumstances.
