France vs Belgium Betting Preview 

France have not lived up to their full potential in the tournament, with rumors of political distractions affecting their performance. Les Blues secured a close 1-0 victory over Austria in their opening game but settled for draws against Netherlands (0-0) and Poland (1-1) in Group D. Finally, star player Kylian Mbappe found his scoring touch with a penalty early in the second half against Poland. However, the Poles also scored from the penalty spot to earn a meaningless draw.

Belgium have faced obstacles as well. They were booed off by their own fans following a lackluster 0-0 draw with Ukraine, and luckily qualified as runners-up in their group. Prior to that, Domenico Tedesco's men suffered a surprising 1-0 defeat to Slovakia in their opening match but bounced back with a 2-0 victory over Romania thanks to goals from Youri Tielemans and Kevin De Bruyne.

When these two teams last met in the 2021 Nations League semi-finals, France emerged triumphant with a stunning comeback against Belgium, securing a 3-2 victory. Throughout major tournaments, France has held the upper hand against Belgium, winning all four previous encounters with an impressive tally of 13 goals scored and only three conceded. However, Belgium's highly acclaimed Golden Generation seeks redemption after their heartbreaking exit from the 2018 World Cup semi-finals against France.

Probable Line-Ups

France (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Kounde, Saliba, Upamecano, Hernandez; Kante, Tchouameni; Dembele, Griezmann, Rabiot; Mbappe

Didier Deschamps is likely to resist calls for a significant overhaul of his trusted system, meaning that Adrien Rabiot is set to start as number ten once again. Despite recently breaking his nose in the Euro 2024 opener, Kylian Mbappe will feature form the off after proving his fitness against Poland. Antoine Griezmann is expected to reclaim his position in the starting eleven for the last-16 clash while Olivier Giroud and Marcus Thuram await their chance upfront..

Belgium (4-2-3-1): Casteels; Castagne Faes Vertonghen Theate; Tielemans Onana; Bakayoko De Bruyne Carrasco Lukaku

Sevilla's talented winger Dodi Lukebakio returns from suspension and will offer an alternative to Leandro Trossard on the wing. Meanwhile Lois Openda may replace underperforming Romelu Lukaku up front while Johan Bakayoko could take Jeremy Doku's place on the left flank if needed, considering that the Manchester City's winger has failed to impress thus far. The likes of Axel Witsel and Thomas Meunier are likely to miss this match due to injuries.

France v Belgium Predictions  

France have struggled to find their rhythm this summer and are yet to provide convincing performances thus far. Les Blues have incredibly failed even to score from open play and were also lucky to salvage a goalless draw against Netherlands.

Belgium faced defeat at Slovakia's hands during their opening match and also were outplayed by an unlucky Ukrainian side last time out.

Despite neither team reaching peak form yet, both have managed to reach knockout stages conceding only one goal each so far.

We expect a closely contested match with Les Blues edging victory by a narrow margin. Our prediction is a 2-1 win for France, with Kylian Mbappè finding the back of the net against Belgium's sluggish central defense.

As our final prediction addition we recommend "Theo Hernandez to be carded".
