The UEFA Nations League is back in action with another round of matches this week as Belgium take on Didier Deschamps' France side in an important encounter at the King Baudouin Stadium on Monday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Belgium vs France Preview
France are in second place in Group A2 of the UEFA Nations League standings and have stepped up to the plate this year. Les Bleus thrashed Israel by a comprehensive 4-1 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
Belgium, on the other hand, are in third place in their group and have not been at their best in recent months. The Red Devils were held to a 2-2 draw by Italy last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
