France travel to Ukraine for their World Cup play-off first leg in search of the foothold that can launch them towards next summer’s footballing carnival.
Dider Deschamps’ men are the 6/5 favourites to find it while the hosts are priced at 23/10 and the draw an industry best 11/5.
However, any money set aside for a French gamble should be placed on Franck Ribery to score first at 6/1. If it cops, bwin will double or treble the winnings through their Double and Triple Money promise should the Bayern Munich flyer go on to net a brace or hat-trick.

The Ballon d’Or favourite has two goals less in 19 appearances this term than he did in the entire 2012/13 campaign.
Ribery is tearing his way through opposition defences so far this season, for both club and country. His renewed scoring vigour means his 11 goals so far this term is just two shy of the tally he managed in 44 outings last season, and the winger comes into the game with three goals in his last five Bayern matches.
France’s 78-cap veteran has scored four times for them in the last three contests.
Not only is Ribery in club form, but he’s leading the way for his country too. In France’s last three games the number seven has got his name on the scoresheet four times, scoring his country’s first goal on each ocassion and the first of the 90 twice.
A knackered Olivier Giroud has found the net just twice in nine games.
The Arsenal man’s early season form saw him usurp Karim Benzema at the head of the French attacking table, but a lack of rest at both domestic and international level – he’s started all bar two of the last 23 games for Arsenal and France – has burnt his flame to the wick.
