The World Cup in Qatar is slowly approaching for the Blues. The reigning world champions can take a step further in their qualifying group this evening. Opposed to Ukraine, its current runner-up already relegated to four points, the Habs must be reassured. The last victory dates back to June 15 against Germany to start the Euro. The rest: four draws, elimination from the European Championship.
To return to success, Didier Deschamps’ men will have to be disciplined and avoid finishing at ten like Wednesday against Bosnia-Herzegovina with the expulsion of Jules Koundé. Note, injured, Kylian Mbappé is forfeited for the rest of the rally. Karim Benzema should be spared before Finland’s reception at Décines on Tuesday for his return to Lyon. Anthony Martial could take the opportunity to start. Kick-off at 8:45 p.m. in Kiev. The meeting will be followed on M6.

Ukraine (4-4-1-1) : Piatov – Mikolenko, Matvienko, Zabarni, Karavaïev – Iarmolenko (c), Zintchenko, Sidortchouk, Sobol – Malinovski – Iaremtchouk. Selectionneur: Oleksandr Petrakov.
