Betting Predictions
On Monday night, in their second UEFA Nations League match of the new season, France and Belgium, two longtime rivals, will square off again.
On the first night of Group 2, Les Bleus fell to Italy at home, while the Red Devils secured all the points before traveling to Lyon.
Head-to-Head
In the last three encounters between the two countries, France has emerged as a serious thorn in Belgium’s side. The most recent match took place at Euro 2024 earlier this summer, as Les Bleus defeated the Red Devils to the satisfaction of our man Andy Delaney in the round of 16.
The last time France and Italy faced off, France lost 3-1. Bradley Barcola scored the goals for France in their Nations League game at Parc des Princes. In their most recent Nations League match, Israel and Belgium prevailed 3-1.
Team News
Following his initial call-up, Michael Olise—the Bayern Munich winger who helped France earn a silver medal at the Olympics—started on Friday and will now compete with Ousmane Dembele for a starting position.
In addition, Didier Deschamps started Bradley Barcola for Les Bleus against Italy, which worked well. Other than that, he stuck with the majority of his Euro 2024 roster; Adrien Rabiot, a free agent, and Benjamin Pavard, an Inter Milan defender, were both benched.
Jules Kounde and Dayot Upamecano are contenders for promotion off the bench after allowing three goals, while the hosts’ other attacking possibilities include Marcus Thuram and Randal Kolo Muani.
Apart from Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who has a long-standing disagreement with Domenico Tedesco, Belgium will also be without their all-time leading scorer Romelu Lukaku on Monday due to his rest. Lukaku is a new acquisition for Napoli.
Leandro Trossard of Arsenal was left off the roster as Tedesco allowed some younger players to shine against Israel. Veteran defender Jan Vertonghen has announced his retirement from international football. Arne Engels, the new boy for Celtic, Julien Duranville, a teenager from Borussia Dortmund, and Maxim De Cuyper all made an appearance.
In Lukaku’s absence, Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku of Manchester City will once more team up to help lone striker Lois Openda up front.
Probable Line-Up
France XI:
Maignan; Kounde, Saliba, Konate, T. Hernandez; Kante, Zaire-Emery; Dembele, Griezmann, Barcola, Mbappe
Belgium XI:
Casteels; Castagne, Faes, Theate, De Cuyper; Onana, Tielemans; Bakayoko, De Bruyne, Doku, Openda
Verdict
Tip France to Winâś…
Reason
France, which has won the last three games between these two countries, undoubtedly has a psychological advantage over their neighbors, and Friday’s loss will force them to respond. Even if Belgium had moments of brilliance in their Nations League debut, their defense still appears weak; Kylian Mbappe and company should take advantage of any errors.

Tip: BTTS (YES)❌
Reason
France had opportunities against Italy, but they gave up six attempts that were on goal. The focus now shifts to what this Belgian team, led by Kevin De Bruyne, seems like he could do against the French. Both teams scores stand out in this situation because France showed their own threat moving forward against Italy and Belgium’s defense isn’t all that solid.
