Nuestras previsiones
Given France’s consistency and home-continent advantage, we expect them to edge possession and control the midfield battles. Their ability to exploit wide areas could stretch Belgium’s backline, creating scoring opportunities from both open play and set pieces.
However, Belgium’s discipline and counter-attacking threat should not be underestimated. We foresee a competitive match where France have the slight upper hand, but a single breakthrough or defensive lapse could swing momentum in Belgium’s favour.
