Belgium vs France Preview
Belgium enter this Nations League fixture under the guidance of new manager Mark Van Bommel, who inherits a squad in reasonable shape. The Red Devils have won three of their last five outings, with one draw and one defeat, suggesting a side still finding consistency under fresh leadership. Placed in a demanding Group A1 alongside France, Italy, and Turkey, Belgium need early points to establish themselves in the campaign.
France arrive with genuine momentum, having won their last three matches after a shaky start that produced back-to-back defeats. Zinedine Zidane takes charge for his first international window, and the excitement surrounding his appointment gives Les Bleus an additional psychological edge. Warren Zaire-Emery's injury is a setback, though Maghnes Akliouche's call-up provides capable cover. This fixture falls as France's second match in the window, following their clash with Turkey three days earlier.
France's dominance in this fixture is the primary reason for backing the away win at 1.94. Les Bleus have won five of the last six meetings against Belgium, including that remarkable comeback from two goals down in the 2021 Nations League semi-final. Only one victory for Belgium across all recorded encounters between these sides tells a story that is difficult to ignore when assessing probabilities.
Zinedine Zidane's appointment brings renewed energy to a French squad that has won three of its last five outings. Belgium's recent form reads slightly better with three wins and a draw from five, but that record flatters a side adjusting to Van Bommel's methods. France's squad depth remains superior, and the loss of Warren Zaire-Emery is softened by the inclusion of Maghnes Akliouche.
The over 2.5 goals market at 1.50 also merits attention. Recent clashes between these neighbours have produced goals freely, with the 2021 semi-final finishing 3-2. Both teams to score at 1.46 complements this selection well. With two new coaches eager to stamp authority on their respective projects, expect an open, attacking contest where France's quality ultimately prevails.
