France vs Belgium free tip & prediction

Monday’s showpiece match could even be a goal-scorer, given the attacking potential on both sides.

The action in Group A League 2 continues on Monday, with another showdown. The Franco-Belgian clash is set to be a spicy one, especially after Mbappe’s side suffered a huge blow in the opening game of the Nations League. Despite this, the bookies favour the 2018 world champions, but the odds of around 1.90 show that there is no run-off here.

Team news

Especially as the Red Devils have started this competition with a sparkle and have actually mopped the field with Israel. In the opening game, which they won 3-1, Openda even scored a penalty, but Tedesco’s side finished with a 3.13 xG and 26 (!) attempts on goal. So the game in Debrecen was a happy one for Belgian fans, especially as they failed to make a mark at the European Championship. Interestingly enough, it was the French who were the final stopper there, with Vertonghen’s own goal the only difference. Everyone in the squad is practically fit for war, with only Celtic’s young legionnaire Engels serving his ban. The home side are also without a significant absentee, according to the latest information.

Did you know? The two arch rivals have met 76 times and the Belgians have won more (30 wins), but the French are not far behind (27 wins).

The French are in a tricky situation, having hosted the Italians at the Parc de Princes a few days ago and were badly burned. But the match could not have started better for the home side, after Bradley Barcola took the lead in the first minute. However, the early goal did nothing to deter the Italians, who took control of the game from then on – Dimarco equalised in the 30th minute and in the second half Frattesi netted in the 51st minute and Raspadori in the 74th to make it 3-1. Manager Deschamps continues to come in for criticism for his failure to unleash the potential of his star strikers, but hopefully this can soon be turned around.

Best Free tip for France vs Belgium

After the excruciating matches between the two sides at the European Championship, you would be forgiven for thinking that we are in for another boring 90 minutes. The bookies are of the same opinion, which is why the over is paying quite handsomely. We expect a much more open, attacking approach from both teams than we have seen at the continental tournament, and the talent is there, no question about that. Les Bleus won their last meeting in the Nations League 3-2, but we’re going to go with a cautious 2.25 over here, which would lose by 0 or 1 goal.
