vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Group 1 of Nations League A has only just begun and both France and Belgium are yet to play a match, so the standings do not reflect actual form. France arrive from the World Cup with four wins and two defeats in their last six matches: their most recent test was a 4-6 defeat to England, preceded by a 0-2 loss to Spain and, before that, a 2-0 win over Morocco. Belgium arrive with three wins, two draws and one defeat in their last six matches: their most recent test ended in a 1-2 away defeat to Spain, preceded by a 4-1 away win over the United States and, before that, a 3-2 home win over Senegal. In the most recent meetings between the two nations, France have won all of the last three encounters: 2-1 away on 14 October 2024, played on the opposite ground from Monday's fixture, then 2-0 at home on 9 September 2024 and 1-0 also at home on 1 July 2024. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
