[Tips]:
There is indeed a gap in squad strength between the two teams.

France, with the goal of winning the World Cup, have a powerful lineup, and Kylian Mbappe remains the core of the team.

Although they drew with Iceland in their last match, they are expected to return to winning ways in this game.

While Ukraine have shown decent performance in attack, their defense still has vulnerabilities, and their defensive end is unlikely to withstand France's offensive pressure.

Therefore, we should go for France this time.
