To build a prediction for the France - Belgium match, scheduled for 9 September 2024, several key factors could influence the outcome. France have played 46 matches, in which they won 29 of them, drew 11 times and lost 6 matches. Belgium, having played 45 matches, won 30 times, drew 7 matches and lost 8 defeats. In the league, France average 2 goals scored per game and 0.8 conceded. Belgium average 2.6 scored and 0.8 conceded. These sides last met on 30 June 2024 at France's ground, where the home side came out on top.
Belgium won at home against Israel 3-1 without any problems in the first game in this group, while France lost at home to Italy by the same score. I think the opponents will also be able to score against each other in this game, and I believe the visitors will not lose.
The second prediction for this game can also be considered: the visitors' team total of goals. In the previous game, France lost to Italy at home, conceding three goals. I think Tedesco's team will want to avenge the defeat at the Euros, so I expect at least one goal from the visitors.
After Italy's 1:3 home defeat, the French have no room for error. Another defeat and the team's chances of taking the lead in the group decrease several times over. Mbappé is currently in good form. According to the statistics, the hosts have a clear advantage in head-to-head meetings.
