Belgium Form and Team News
Belgium started their UEFA Nations League campaign perfectly, securing a 2-0 away victory against Italy. Keeping a clean sheet against a strong opponent highlights their defensive solidity and provides a fantastic foundation for the tournament.
Their broader form is also impressive, with only a single defeat in their last ten international matches. That loss came against Spain in the World Cup quarter-finals, demonstrating their ability to compete at the highest level and maintain consistency.
The hosts benefit from a fully fit squad, which is a major boost ahead of their first home game. This clean bill of health, coupled with their opening win, gives them every reason to be confident.

Belgium vs. France Prediction: Les Bleus to continue their streak
France enters this clash in formidable shape, boasting an impressive run of 16 wins in their last 21 matches. Given their historical dominance, having won the last five meetings, backing them to be leading at halftime seems a strong possibility.
However, Belgium cannot be underestimated, especially after their solid 2-0 victory over Italy in the opening round. With both teams possessing significant attacking firepower, this encounter could easily feature over 2.5 goals without ending in a draw.
Considering France’s superior head-to-head record and their consistent high-level performances, our main prediction is for them to win the match. Les Bleus have the quality and momentum to overcome their rivals once again in this crucial fixture.
