France vs Belgium Predictions: Same Outcome As At The Euros?

Betting Odds & Preview

With the World Cup now just over a month away, two of the favorites for the tournament, France and Belgium, will face off in a friendly on Thursday, March 23. Both teams will be looking to fine-tune their preparations for Qatar, and it should be a fascinating contest. France are the current world champions and will be confident of beating Belgium, who they defeated in the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup. However, Belgium will be no pushovers, and they will be looking to avenge that defeat. The match is likely to be decided by the attacking quality of both teams. France have a wealth of attacking talent, including Kylian Mbappe, Karim Benzema, and Antoine Griezmann. Belgium also have a number of dangerous attackers, including Romelu Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne, and Eden Hazard.
