On Monday, October 14, 2024, Belgium and France go head-to-head in a crucial UEFA Nations League match at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels. This encounter is pivotal for both teams as they vie for top spots in Group A2.
Belgium, under coach Domenico Tedesco, has been inconsistent in recent matches. After a 3-1 win over Israel, they suffered a 0-2 defeat to France and then managed a 2-2 draw against Italy, thanks to a red card for Italy’s Lorenzo Pellegrini. The absence of key players like Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, and Thibaut Courtois has significantly impacted their performance.
France, on the other hand, has shown resilience after a surprising 1-3 loss to Italy in their opening match. They bounced back with a 2-0 win over Belgium and a 4-1 victory against Israel. Despite missing Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann, France’s squad depth has been impressive, with players like Michael Olise, Randal Kolo Muani, and Bradley Barcola stepping up.
Predictions suggest that France is likely to dominate the match. Given their recent form and the absence of key Belgian players, many analysts believe France will secure a win. A predicted scoreline is 2-1 in favor of France, with both teams expected to score.
The head-to-head record also favors France, having won all four of their last meetings against Belgium, including a 2-0 victory in their last encounter in September.
In terms of betting tips, there is a strong likelihood of both teams scoring, and France scoring first. Additionally, the match is expected to see a significant number of corners, given the historical data of both teams in the Nations League.
