Belgium vs France Tips

Tip 1

France have faced Belgium twice in the space of a couple of months, beating their bordering rivals on both occasions.

Tedesco’s absentees look a lot more alarming than Deschamps’, even with Mbappe out.

Continuity can be a key factor in high-profile clashes like this and given how Youri Tielemans is the only surviving member of the 2018 World Cup third-placed team, we’re giving the edge to the visitors here.

Tip 2

Odds of 11/2 for busy central midfielder to be brandished a yellow card in a competitive game such as this one is always worth chancing.

As the only Belgian member present now from their most recent triumph in Russia, naturally there will be a lot of onus on the Villa man to dictate their rhythm and keep things tight in the centre of the park.

France had a lot of joy through the centre against Israel on Thursday – a game which also saw midfielder Eduardo Camavinga net for Les Bleus.

He’s been booked in two of his last six appearances for Belgium, including this pair’s last meeting a month ago in the Nations League.

Belgium Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

It’s been a mixed Nations League campaign so far for the Red Devils, who’ve enjoyed one win over Israel, a defeat to France and most recently a draw with group leaders Italy.

There are three notable absentees for Belgium, as Romelu Lukaku was left out once again, claiming he needed to build his fitness up in Naples. An ongoing rift between goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and manager Domenico Tedesco sees the Madrid shot stopper also miss out, while Kevin De Bruyne is sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Belgium Predicted XI: Casteels; Castagne, Debast, Faes, Theate, De Cuyper; Tielemans, Mangala; Trossard, Openda, Doku.

France Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Les Bleus followed up September’s 2-0 win over Monday’s opponents Belgium with a 4-1 victory over Israel to lift Didier Deschamps’ men into second in League A Group 2.

Kylian Mbappe is the notable exclusion for France after being rushed back for Real Madrid following a recent injury setback.

France Predicted XI: Maignan; Kounde, Konate, Saliba, T Hernandez; Tchouameni, Camavinga, Guendouzi; Olise, Kolo Muani, Barcola.
