France – Belgium Prediction

The sides didn’t perform in the group stage in the way their fans expected them to. They played poorly in attack. France qualified for the knockout stage thanks to an own goal and a penalty kick. Belgium were the side we all once knew only in one game against Romania. The attacking line was silent in the other two games.

The sides keep good defence, though. They have conceded only one goal each. This applies to the last games too. France have conceded a maximum of 1 goal in 10 out of their last 11 official games. Belgium have conceded a maximum of 1 goal in 11 out of their last 12 official games.

It’s hard to expect many goals scored by the key forwards of the sides. Kylian Mbappé has scored only from the penalty spot so far. Romelu Lukaku has wasted tons of moments. This is going to be a careful match.

Our prediction is Under 2.5 at .
