Ukraine, unsurprisingly, are unchanged from their first match, which saw them see off Zlatan Ibrahimovich and Sweden by a score of 2-1. They’ll be hoping to do the same against much tougher opposition here, although they probably can’t rely on a second-half comeback to secure the points.
Ukraine Vs. France, Euro 2012: Lineups
France, meanwhile, have dropped English Premier League stars Florent Malouda and Patrice Evra, bringing in Gael Clichy and Jeremy Menez to replace them. They've also shifted from a 4-3-3 to a more attack-minded 4-2-3-1 with Samir Nasri, the best player in their opening match, playing behind Karim Benzema at number ten. Should be an interesting one - and I'm sure everyone's just dying to see what happens when you put Andriy Shevchenko against Adil Rami and Phillippe Mexes.
Ukraine starting lineup (4-1-3-2): Andriy Pyatov; Yevhen Selin, Yevhen Khacheridi, Taras Mykhalyk, Oleh Husyev; Anatoliy Tymoshchuk; Yevhen Konoplyanka, Serhiy Nazarenko, Andriy Yarmolenko; Andriy Voronin, Andriy Shevchenko.
France starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Hugo Lloris, Gael Clichy, Phillippe Mexes, Adil Rami, Mathieu Debuchy; Yohan Cabaye, Alou Diarra; Jeremy Menez, Samir Nasri, Franck Ribery; Karim Benzema.
