During presser, Didier Deschamps, France coach had this to say: “We’re in a new phase of the competition – a competition within a competition. There are no second chances now. The teams that have qualified are better than the ones that went home. It’s all about having that cutting edge in front of goal. If you want to win, you must score – and that’s not been what we’ve been doing. That happens to the best of us and the best goal scorers.”
The opponent on his part, Domenico Tedesco, Belgium coach recognizes the giant competitor: “It’s a tough opponent. Of course, it’s an important game – you’re either in or out. You feel this special feeling, and that’s why we’re here and wanted to qualify”.

France vs Belgium Prediction
With no one suspended in both teams, it becomes quite challenging to accurately predict the outcome of this match. However, Mbappe’s full return after the injury and the current formation of the team places them on advantage. My prediction is that France will win with no more than two goals. The worst-case scenario is a draw by full time, but extra time will send them to penalties. With penalties, Belgium can overpower France.
