How to Watch Belgium vs France Live Stream, Channel, Lineups & Prediction

Belgium and France two fierce soccer rivals are to play again on Monday at the UEFA Nations League. This will be the second meeting for both nations in less than a month after France had beaten them 2-0 in the recent past.

The last few games played by Belgium have been quite patchy. While they were overwhelmed in the first half, they fought back to earn a controversial 2-2 with the Italians. It was Belgium that scored through Maxim De Cuyper and Leandro Trossard, with the southern Italian side being pushed on the back foot after being reduced to ten men. However, this inconsistency has brought the Belgium side from the pinnacle right down to the third position within the group.

On the other hand, France has gained some steam after they lost the opening match to Italy. This team has been on the right side of the scoreline in their last two games, having trounced Israel 4-1. In this encounter, Les Bleus will feel certain of extending the winning streak they have registered recently.

Belgium vs France Prediction

Given that France is perhaps the most formidable team in the current world football and given their past triumph, they are the favorite going into this match albeit slightly so. But, the host team has an understanding of playing better in decider games and the home team's influence is a bonus in this UEFA Nations League. However, one should mention some obvious missing persons in the French team; still, they have enough depth and evident talent that should be enough to challenge the Belgians.

Prediction: Belgium 1-2 France.
