Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Euro 2024 match.
France
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
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.
France – Belgium prediction
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.
