What speaks for Ukraine vs France in the betting tip?
Let's start our betting tips today with the corresponding analysis for the Eastern Europeans. Ukraine played two more test matches in June - with varying degrees of success. While the game against Canada was a particularly high-scoring 2:4 loss, they went on to win 2:1 against New Zealand. Meanwhile, the Ukrainians finished the UEFA Nations League with a clear 3-0 defeat against Belgium in March. Before that, they had surprised even themselves with a 3:1 win against the Red Devils. But that was not enough in the final relegation play-off.

Balanced record in the Nations League
In the six Nations League Group 1 matches in League B, Ukraine had a completely balanced record with two wins, defeats and draws. The same applies to the goal difference. Ukraine scored eight times and conceded eight times. In this respect, successes and failures alternated constantly. We can hardly see any consistency here in our football predictions.Ukraine have not conceded a goal in seven successive international matches. The last time they did so was in a 1-0 win over Georgia.
Ukraine
System: 4-2-3-1.
How good is France's current form?
So that we can give you worthwhile bets for your next betting tip, we'll continue directly with the guests in our predictions. France were last in action in the Nations League Final Four. In the semi-finals, Les Bleus lost a thrilling match to Spain 4:5 - after 90 minutes of regulation, mind you. In the match against Germany, however, the Equipe Tricolore secured at least third place in the competition with a 2-0 win.

Changeable results for Les Bleus
The French national soccer team had already shown morale in the previous quarter-final, when they lost the first leg in Croatia 2:0. In the second leg, France then won 2:0 and prevailed 5:4 in the penalty shoot-out. As a result, three of the last four international matches ended with an Under 2.5. Twice the French won 2-0, once they lost by the same final score.
France
System: 4-3-3.
First success for Ukraine against France
The two nations have met a dozen times to date. Ukraine have only won once. This came in the first leg of the play-offs in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers. On that occasion, the Ukrainian national team won 2-0, but were subsequently beaten 3-0 in France. Eight of the twelve duels, i.e. two thirds of all encounters, also ended with an Under 2.5 and a maximum of two goals. The French came out on top six times, but five international matches also ended in draws.

Our prediction for Ukraine vs France
In our expert tips, we believe Les Bleus have the advantage with an away win 2. The direct comparison alone speaks for this. However, it could well be a less clear-cut affair, as France's results have also been rather erratic of late. We have therefore opted for the Under 2.5 with very good odds. Because this goal bet has worked for the Equipe Tricolore several times recently and was also on the program in two thirds of all matches against Ukraine.
