THE PREDICTION

France, alongside England, have been among the most impressive sides in the 2023 UEFA Under-21 European Championships. Sylvain Ripoll’s star-studded French squad won all three games in a ‘group of death’ with Italy, Norway and Switzerland. They face a Ukrainian side that, with an experienced squad that boasts several first team players, enjoyed back-to-back to nil victories against Croatia and Romania before a draw with Spain. Ukraine will make it tough for France and have means of attacking their back-line. Whilst the French will remain favourites, this could be quite an entertaining encounter.

BETTING TIP: FRANCE TO WIN & BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
