Belgium vs France Prediction & Betting Tips - UEFA Nations League
by Devesh Jaganath in UEFA Nations League Predictions
We are in for an absolute treat on Monday evening in the UEFA Nations League, with European powerhouses Belgium and France set to face off at Stade Roi Baudouin in Brussels. De Rode Duivels are in third place in League A Group 2, while Les Bleus are second, behind group leaders Italy. Check out our match prediction below.
When these two met at the Groupama Stadium last month, France secured a 2-0 victory thanks to goals by Paris Saint-Germain attacking duo Randal Kolo Muani and Ousmane Dembele. That result also extended Les Bleus’ current win streak against Belgium to four matches in a row dating back to June 2015.
Despite having the home advantage, Belgium are showing up as the underdogs in this match according to the bookies, but can they defy the odds and halt their winless streak against the mighty French? Let’s get into the key stats at play in this intriguing matchup.

Belgium - France: Form Analysis
Perennial underachievers Belgium kept their hopes of winning this group alive last week when they came from two goals down to salvage a point against Italy at Stadio Olimpico.
That result took them to four points in the standings, following a 3-1 victory over Israel in their opening match of the competition and that loss to their upcoming opponents back on matchday two.
Despite losing to France last month, though, the Red Devils will gain some confidence for this match from their home record, which shows five consecutive victories heading into this one.
Belgium are unbeaten in their last eight matches on home soil and kept clean sheets in five of those games!
Meanwhile, after losing their Nations League opener to Italy 3-1, France seem to have found their rhythm again, ratting off back-to-back wins in weeks two and three. They now trail Gli Azzurri by just a single point.
Following the 2-0 win over this opponent last month, Les Bleus put in a commanding performance against Israel last week and came away with a 4-1 victory, with four different players getting on the scoresheet.
That result also extended their away record to three games unbeaten, while they have only suffered defeat once in their last six outings. The sole defeat in that time was to Germany in a friendly back in September last year.

Belgium & France Squad Analysis
Many French fans would have been concerned about their side's attacking threat after Kylian Mbappe pulled out of the squad in the lead-up to this international break.
However, Randal Kolo Muani has proven to be a worthy replacement, having scored against Belgium last month and providing the assist for the opening goal last week against Israel.
Matteo Guendouzi made an almost immediate impact coming off the bench on Thursday, scoring the side’s third goal before setting up the fourth. Owing to that performance, the Lazio midfielder will definitely be in contention for a starting role this week.
Bradley Barcola is France’s top-scorer in this competition with two goals in three games!
In the absence of Romelu Lukaku, Lois Openda has started all three matches for Belgium in this competition but has only managed one goal contribution, setting up Youri Tielemans in the first match.
After Openda had another fairly quiet outing against Italy, Domenico Tedesco may consider shaking things up in attack, which could lead to Cyril Ngonge making the starting 11 this week.

Our Belgium vs France Prediction
While Belgium managed to earn a point against Italy last week, it should be noted that they were blown away in the first half. They only managed to get back into the match after Gli Azzurri were reduced to 10 men when Lorenzo Pellegrini was sent for an early shower just before the halftime whistle.
That result, combined with the underwhelming performance they put on when facing France last month, leads us to believe that Les Bleus is the team to beat in this one. However, with favourable odds on offer, we have the luxury of opting for the safety of our money back on the draw result as our primary wager. Our Belgium vs France prediction: France Draw No Bet!
