France

France secured their knockout stage spot after the second round. They beat Austria (1:0) and ended their game against the Netherlands in a draw (0:0). In the last round France were tied with Poland (1:1). France finished 2nd, however, they failed to score a “normal” goal in the group stage. In the game versus Austria, an own goal was scored, and Mbappé scored from the penalty spot against Poland. France have advanced to the UEFA Euro knockout stage without losing a game for the third time with Didier Deschamps as their head coach. France haven’t lost in regular time their last 15 official games (11 wins and 4 draws).

 

  • France have ended regular time in a draw in 5 out of their last 6 European Championship games. Draw – 11/5
  • France have scored a maximum of 1 goal in regular time in 6 out of their last 8 European Championship games. France Under 1.5 – 13/20
  • At least one team has failed to score in 8 out of the last 11 official games France have played. Both teams to score – no – 3/4

Belgium

Belgium have hardly reached Round of 16. They suffered a defeat in the first round against Slovakia (0:1), beat Romania (2:0) and finally they were tied with Ukraine (0:0) in the last round. Belgium finished 2nd, although all teams had the same number of points in Group E. Belgium qualified directly to the knockout stage on tiebreakers, namely goals scored in all matches. However, they have only scored 2 goals in this tournament. Belgium have scored a maximum of 1 goal in 4 out of their last 5 European Championship games.

 

  • Belgium haven’t lost 11 out of their last 12 official games (7 wins and 4 draws). Belgium 0 – 23/10
  • Belgium have scored in 9 out of their last 11 official games. Belgium Over 0.5 – 3/5
  • Belgium have scored at least a goal in the first half in 7 out of their last 9 official games. First half: Belgium Over 0.5 – 39/20

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 3/5 .

 

Betting tips 1 July 2024

France didn’t actually look like one of the main favourites in the group stage. They beat Austria only because of an own goal, then never managed to beat the Netherlands (0:0). France were even closer to losing that game. And they ended their game versus Poland in a draw (1:1), and Poland were definitely one of the weakest sides of the tournament. It’s not going to be an easy thing for them to beat Belgium.

Belgium could have been one of the most interesting teams of this Euro. They’ve had exciting attacks but wasted too many attempts. Belgium finished 2nd in the group with all teams tied on points. A goalless draw with Ukraine let them advance to the knockout stage. However, they don’t seem to reach the late stages of the tournament. Or at least it will be a matter of luck.

I believe that Belgium will finally use their attacking potential. However, France will definitely score too. Mbappé and Griezmann are definitely the ones who can make a difference. I’m not sure if we’ll see too many goals scored in this match. But I guess that both teams will be able to score at least a goal in regular time.
