Ukraine will be looking to make it two wins from as many Euro 2012 matches on Friday evening when they take on France in an important Group D clash, as William Hill punters are charging into their attractive price of 11/10 on Laurent Blanc’s side to claim the three points.
Fresh from the dramatic 2-1 victory over Sweden on Monday evening – where national hero Andriy Shevchenko scored twice as they battled from behind – the co-hosts will be hoping to take their place in the knockout stages.

There is no doubt that this is a tougher test against a strong France side, but Ukraine will be in excellent spirits for this one and will look to continue where they left off against Sweden.
The atmosphere inside the ground after the two Shevchencko goals was quite something and the home faithful will be looking to replicate this to help their team to another victory.

It is important the players don’t think the hard work is done too. It may well have been a famous night for Ukraine football on Monday, but it was only one game and one victory. More is needed to progress from this competitive group.
As for France, they will very much be hoping that Ukraine have peeked too early. Laurent Blanc’s men will hope the home fans and indeed the players suffer somewhat of a hangover from the first game.
The French will just focus on themselves though. After the 1-1 draw with England, they will look to be more clinical in front of goal and generally use their possession better.
They do have an excellent spirit at the moment of course – the draw with Roy Hodgson’s men made it 22 games unbeaten for them – and they will hope they have enough attacking talent to pierce the Ukraine defence.
Overall, this has all the makings of a cracking contest. The co-hosts will come out flying after their victory in this last game and standing in their way is the favourites to win the group.
The pressure is on as this one gets underway from 5pm on Friday.
