France vs Belgium Prediction & Betting Tips - Euro
by Devesh Jaganath in Euro Predictions
A spot in the quarter-final of Euro 2024 awaits!
European giants France and Belgium are set to face off in the Round of 16 at Merkur Spiel-Arena in Dusseldorf on Monday afternoon.
The winner of this clash of the heavyweights will move on to face either Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal or dark horse Slovenia in the next round.
Despite being one of the favourites to win the tournament, Les Bleus only managed to finish second in their group behind Austria. The same could be said for Belgium, who also came second in their group to Romania.
The last time these two powerhouses met was in the Nations League back in 2021 and France came back from two goals down to win the match 3-2 thanks to a last-minute winning goal by AC Milan's Theo Hernandez.
Stakes are high and there is no room for error. Let’s break down this blockbuster matchup and take a look at the possible predictions.

France - Belgium: Form Analysis
France will be hoping to hit top gear here after an underwhelming group stage!
Les Bleus finished second in Group D with a record of one win and two draws, leaving them one point behind surprise package Austria and one ahead of the Netherlands.
Notably, the French only scored two goals in their three group-stage matches, and neither of them came from their own open play. The winner against Austria resulted from an own-goal by Maximilian Wober, while the second came from a Kylian Mbappe penalty.
Mbappe has already missed one match in the competition owing to a knock to his face sustained in their opening match against Das Team.
Owing to their average performances to this point, France have slipped to fourth-favourite at the books to win the tournament, now behind England, Spain and host nation Germany.
However, you can never write this team off. The last time Didier Deschamps’ side tasted defeat in a competitive match was at the FIFA World Cup final in 2022 against Argentina.
Les Bleus are unbeaten in their last 11 competitive matches!
Belgium, on the other hand, have earned the unwanted reputation of being a perennial underachiever despite arguably having their golden generation of players at present.
They were given a major scare in the group stage when they were beaten by Slovakia 1-0 in the opening match, which put their qualification to this round at risk.
However, they managed to bounce back with a 2-0 win in match two before being held goalless by Ukraine in the final group-stage match, which turned out to be enough to finish second in the group behind Romania.
It is worth noting that the goal conceded against Slovakia is the only one Belgium have let in over their last five matches, while they have also shut out opponents in seven of their last 10 games in all competitions.
In terms of head-to-head records, France have won the last two matches between these sides. The last time De Rode beat Les Bleus was in a friendly match back in 2015.

France & Belgium Squad Analysis
Despite missing match two of the group, Mbappe played the full 90 against Poland and opened his account for the tournament. The France skipper will undoubtedly be a key figure in this one.
Antoine Griezmanann had to settle for a spot on the bench in the last match but will be hoping to make the starting 11 here, potentially in place of Bradley Barcola or Adrien Rabiot.
Didier Deschamps has a full squad at his disposal with no injuries reported!
Meanwhile, Domenico Tedesco will have to make do without the services of Axel Witsel and Thomas Meunier, who are ruled out of this match with an adductor and thigh injury respectively.
Leicester City centre-back Wout Faes is walking a tightrope and will miss the quarter-final if he picks up a yellow card here, assuming Belgium reach the next round.
Romelu Lukaku scored 14 goals in qualifying but has yet to open his account at Euro 2024.

Our France vs Belgium Prediction
While Belgium managed to earn qualification to this round, they have been far from convincing and enter this contest as clear underdogs against the unbeaten French.
Indeed, Les Bleus were not as impressive in the group stage as we’ve come to expect from them in recent years, but the class they possess is undeniable and it feels like just a matter of time until they find their best form. Our France vs Belgium prediction: France To Qualify!
