Match Overview
France meet Belgium in what is undoubtedly the most hotly-contested of all round of sixteen fixtures in the ongoing UEFA European Championships at the Dusseldorf Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany on Monday, 1 July. Both these teams are extremely well-matched with each other in all three departments of the game: midfield, attack and defence.
Key Highlights
While France like to make good use of the wings and ensure that all attacks follow a good course of action, Belgium like to sit deep and attack through the middle whenever they are able to string two passes together. Their midfielders, led by the versatile Kevin de Bruyne, are a creative lot and will force France's defenders to think out of the box.
Injury Report
While France does not have any injured players in their ranks, Belgium may have to make do without the likes of Axel Witsel and Thomas Meunier for this all-important encounter.
Prediction
Neither France nor Belgium appear to be the overwhelming favourites to win this game. However, the former have an advantage over the latter given that they have been performing well of late and seem to have momentum on their side. Belgium, for their part, have a lot of good individual players. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game.
