Belgium vs France – Best bets of the match
Belgium vs France Preview
Belgium enter this fixture in reasonable shape, having won three and drawn one of their last five outings, with only a single defeat blotting the copybook. Mark Van Bommel's appointment brings fresh energy to a side seeking to reassert itself on the continental stage. Hosting France in a demanding Group A1 alongside Italy and Turkey, the Red Devils will view home advantage as vital, though their dreadful recent record against Les Bleus looms large.
France arrive buoyed by three consecutive victories to close out their recent run, despite two defeats earlier in that five-match sequence. Zinedine Zidane takes charge for his first competitive international window, with Maghnes Akliouche drafted in to replace the injured Warren Zaïre-Emery. This fixture falls three days after France face Turkey, so squad rotation could factor in. Still, Les Bleus hold a formidable record in this rivalry, winning five of the last six meetings against Belgium.
France's recent dominance over Belgium is the cornerstone of this prediction. Les Bleus have won five of the last six meetings, including that remarkable comeback from two goals down in the 2021 Nations League semi-final. That kind of psychological edge matters, particularly with Zinedine Zidane now at the helm and eager to stamp his authority from the very first squad selection.
Belgium's decent domestic form, three wins and a draw from five, cannot mask the fact that Mark Van Bommel's side have historically struggled against French opposition. An eight-to-one head-to-head record across all meetings tells its own story. France, meanwhile, arrive having won three straight, building genuine momentum heading into this Group A1 double-header.
The away win at 1.90 represents the standout selection here. France's quality, reinforced by fresh call-ups such as Maghnes Akliouche, should prove decisive. Backing over 2.5 goals at 1.50 also appeals given that four of the last six encounters produced three or more goals. Both teams to score at 1.50 rounds off the value picks nicely.
