Belgium and France both aim to recover from losses as they face off in an exciting encounter. Belgium, under new coach Mark van Bommel, demonstrated strong form against Italy. France, led by Zinedine Zidane, narrowly beat Turkey but haven't been at their best. Recent stats show both teams score frequently, with France having a slight head-to-head advantage. The best bet is both teams to score, but France's individual quality and experience make them narrow favorites for the win.

  • France won in Zinedine Zidane's debut on Friday

France's performance was not pretty against Turkey but they managed to collect three points. I will back them to keep winning under Zinedine Zidane on Monday.

Key Stats  


  • Belgium have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 5 matches.
  • Belgium have seen BTTS in their last 2 home matches against France.
  • France have won their last 5 matches against Belgium.
  • France have won 8 of their last 10 matches.

Belgium Edge H2H 


Belgium have a 30-29 advantage against France in terms of head to head victories, while 19 clashes ended level. 

Hosts Riding High After Italy Upset 


Belgium had a furious first half against Italy on Friday, missing a couple of chances before PSG's Mika Godts broke the deadlock in the 20th minute. Later, they focused on counter-attacks and doubled their lead through Dodi Lukebakio, winning the clash 2-0. 

This was the debut for recently appointed national coach Mark van Bommel who replaced Rudi Garcia earlier this summer. 

Under Garcia, Belgium had a good run at the World Cup 2026 where they reached the quarterfinals after beating Senegal 3-2 in extra-time and USA 4-1 before losing to later winners Spain 2-1. 

Les Bleus Survived Turkey 


France failed to impress in Zinedine Zidane's debut on Friday but collected three points against Turkey 1-0 in Kocaeli. 

Kylian Mbappe scored the only goal right after the break, while they ended this clash with lower xG 1.17-1.21 and 12-12 in shots. Rayan Cherki missed a huge chance to double their lead late. 

This was the first match for Les Bleus after finishing fourth at the World Cup 2026 where they were deservedly beaten by Spain 2-0 in the semifinals, then lost the bronze medal decider to England 6-4 which was Didier Deschamps' last game in charge.

Verdict

Both sides have high-scoring potential, and I expect both nations to find the net on Monday. Still, France's individual quality and experience should see them to a narrow victory.
