France will host old rival Belgium in their second UEFA Nations League 2024-25 fixture at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Décines-Charpieu, France.
The France vs Belgium, UEFA Nations League 2024-25 League A Group 2 match will start at 12:15 AM IST on Tuesday, September 10. Live streaming and telecast of the match will be available in India.
Under head coach Didier Deschamps, the France national football team will look to bounce back after they succumbed to a 1-3 defeat against Italy in their UEFA Nations League 2024-25 campaign opener at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
While Bradley Barcola’s strike gave France an early lead, the visitors later rode on goals from Federico Dimarco, Davide Frattesi and Giacomo Raspadori to secure an impressive victory.
With the defeat, UEFA Nations League 2020-21 winners France are languishing at the bottom of the League A Group 2 standings.
On the other hand, the Belgium national football team will head into the upcoming fixture high on confidence after they defeated Israel 3-1 in their opening game of the UEFA Nations League 2024-25 at the Nagyerdei Stadion in Debrecen, Hungary.
Captain Kevin De Bruyne’s brace and Youri Tielemans’ strike helped the Red Devils bag maximum points from the fixture.
The Domenico Tedesco-coached Belgium will seek revenge after they were knocked out by France in the UEFA European Championship 2024 just two months back.
Having conceded three goals against Italy, Didier Deschamps could make few changes to France’s starting XI.
The likes of Jules Kounde and Dayot Upamecano could start against Belgium in their upcoming fixture.
Michael Olise, Ousmane Dembélé, Randal Kolo Muani and Marcus Thuram will compete for a spot to play alongside Kylian Mbappe, Bradley Barcola and Antoine Griezmann.
For Belgium, star forward and their all-time top scorer Romelu Lukaku has been rested. In the absence of Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne, Jérémy Doku and Lois Openda will play a key role if Belgium are to bag three points from the game.
