Players to Watch

Kylian Mbappe (France)

The Real Madrid forward is now ready to help out the France national football team. He is having a good season. Kylian Mbappe failed to score in his last two games for his club and will now be keen to come back to his goal-scoring run. He is going to be a constant thorn for the opponents in the upcoming game.

Ruslan Malinovskyi (Ukraine)

Ruslan Malinovskyi will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side both in the midfield and the attacking front. Even though he has not come up with the top performances for the Ukraine national football team, Malinovskyi will be one of the main assets. A top performance by him can be helpful for the visitors.
