Ukraine predicted XI v France: Ilia Zabarnyi to start | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain centre-back Ilia Zabarnyi will line-up for Ukraine at the Parc des Princes this evening, as they look to bolster their chances of FIFA World Cup qualification.

A win for Les Bleus in Paris tonight will secure their place in the World Cup. However, should Ukraine beat France, they will go level on points with Didier Deschamps’ side at the top of the table. Serhiy Rebrov is set to start PSG’s Zabarnyi at the heart of the defence, however, it is his centre-back partner, Mykola Matvienko, who will wear the captain’s armband tonight.

Heorhiy Sudakov, meanwhile, will start in midfield. Up front, it is expected to be Vladyslav Vanat who starts in the No.9 position, instead of Olympiacos striker Roman Yaremchuk.
