World champions France will face Ukraine in an international friendly on Wednesday, October 7, ahead of their UEFA Nations League games. The international friendly between France and Ukraine will take place at the Stade de France, with the game scheduled to kick off at 9:10 pm CEST (Thursday, 12:40 am IST). Here are all the details on how to watch France vs Ukraine live in India as well as the team news from both camps. 

France vs Ukraine match preview

France extended their stellar run of results with back-to-back wins against Sweden and Croatia on their return to action last month. Didier Deschamps' side will now head into the friendly vs Ukraine with 12 wins in their last 14 outings. The next UEFA Nations League games against Portugal and Croatia are bound to be the priority for Deschamps, however, the French national team coach has named a strong 24-man squad for the game against a much-weakened Ukraine side.

Ukraine went 11 games without defeat before the suspension of football, eventually extending that to a dozen contests following a hard-fought win over Switzerland last month. However, Spain ended that streak with a thumping 4-0 win in Madrid in their UEFA Nations League game last month. Following their friendly against France, Ukraine are scheduled to face Germany and have a second meeting with Spain over the next week.
