We won’t even try to explain why this match is the most sounding in the Round of 16. Just look at the names of the respective rosters and see what kind of star power is there.
France News
France will face a major test in this one. The team didn’t play well during the group stage despite not losing a match. After beating Austria in the opener, 1-0, they played without goals against the Netherlands and 1-1 against Poland. The problem was mainly in the attack, which didn’t deliver as expected.
Didier Deschamps faces a difficult problem of creating chemistry among the forwards, and he won’t have too much time. After all, this team is one of the most potent in the world in that area, yet we haven’t seen anything.
Belgium News
We can’t find words to describe Romelu Lukaku’s misses, and we strongly believe he shouldn’t start the matches anymore. Despite all the reasons in his favor, we must underline that the strong striker isn’t scoring goals. Period.
Slovakia defeated Belgium in the opening game, 1-0. The Devils then met Romania, whom they easily dispatched 2-0, before playing without goals against the Ukrainian national team. If nothing else, the positive news is two consecutive clean sheets.
France vs. Belgium Head to Head
France has had the upper hand in their recent head-to-head clashes with Belgium. After beating them 1-0 in the 2018 World Cup semis, they met in the 2021 UEFA Nations League semis and triumphed there as well, 3-2.
France vs. Belgium Betting Tip
France’s form in this EURO has been far from convincing. On the flip side, Belgium, despite its struggles, appears less burdened by pressure, providing it with a chance to play more freely. All in all, these two teams have enough offensive potential to score at least one goal, which is why our pick will be both teams netting.
Betting Tip: Both teams scoring
