Belgium vs France Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

When two big nations in International football take each other on it is normally an interesting watch. And with the squad pedigree of both Belgium and France this game will surely be no different.

Both teams need a win if they are to close the gap on, or potentially overtake, Italy at the top of the group.

Belgium Preview

Belgium Predicted Lineup - Koen Casteels; Maxim De Cuyper, Arthur Theate, Wout Faes, Zeno Debast; Orel Mangala, Youri Tielemans; Leandro Trossard, Charles De Ketelaere, Jérémy Doku; Loïs Openda

Belgium come into this game third place in League A Group Two having picked up four points in three games in the group. A draw in their last game against Italy is a good result however coming up against France, who in the previous international break beat them 2-0, won’t be an easy task.

Belgium have struggled on a goal scoring front recently having failed to score in four of their last seven games. What is interesting though is that two of those games were against their opponents on Monday France. They don’t tend to score against them.

If they can get the ball in the back of the net and keep France out they could be in for what will be seen as a very impressive victory.

France Preview

France Predicted Lineup - Mike Maignan; Theo Hernández, William Saliba, Ibrahima Konaté, Jules Koundé; Eduardo Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouaméni; Christopher Nkunku, Michael Olise, Ousmane Dembélé; Randal Kolo Muani

France have started the group well but following a defeat to Italy in their opening match they sit second in the group on six points. However, they are just one point off the top meaning a win here could take them to first place.

France have proven how strong of a team they are over the years and this Nations League campaign has been no different. They have scored seven goals in three games - including four in their previous match against Israel.

But not only this they also keep the ball out of the net a lot of the time. Seven clean sheets in eleven is certainly an impressive record. If they can keep this up here they could glide to victory again.
