The national teams of France and Belgium will meet again in a fierce battle on the field. This time the match will take place at the Mercure Spiel Arena in Dusseldorf, and will start at 19:00 Kyiv time. France and Belgium have a long history of rivalry and every match between these teams is always a highly anticipated event.
History of confrontations: an old feud
Belgium always had difficulties in matches against France. The last time "Le Bleu" conceded to Belgium in an official match was back in 1981. Since then, the French have consistently demonstrated their superiority. The teams last met at the 2018 World Cup and in the semi-finals of the 2021 Nations League, with the French celebrating on both occasions.
Starting lineups: star players on the field
Today's match promises to be no less exciting. Both teams fielded their strongest lineups. France will enter the field in the following composition: Meignan - Kunde, Upamecano, Saliba, Hernandez - Kante, Chuameni, Rabiot - Thuram, Mbappe, Griezmann. Belgium will respond with the following players: Castells - Castagne, Fass, Vertonghen, Teat - Onana, de Bruyne, Carrasco - Openda, Lukaku, Doku.
Tactics and expectations
The French team, led by Didier Deschamps, is known for its strong defense and rapid counter-attacks. Kante and Mbappe will play an important role in today's match. Deschamps will hope that their speed and technique will help break down the Belgian defence.
On the other hand, Roberto Martinez, the coach of Belgium, is betting on the creativity of the midfield, where the key player is Kevin de Bruyne. The fate of many Belgian attacks will depend on his passing and determination. Lukaku, as always, will be the main striking force in the attack.
Comments and predictions
Football experts are divided in their predictions. Some believe that France will prevail again thanks to their disciplined play and experience. Others believe that Belgium will finally be able to overcome its old rival.
"It will be a difficult match for both teams. France has an advantage in historical meetings, but Belgium can surprise today," noted a well-known football analyst.
