France and Belgium meet again in the UEFA Nations League tonight, with the Group A1 leaders facing off at the Stade de France. France top the group on seven points, while Belgium sit one point behind, meaning victory for either side would be a significant step towards securing top spot.
Match background and team news
France hold the psychological edge after Michael Olise’s late winner secured a 1-0 victory in Brussels last week. Zinedine Zidane’s side have made an unbeaten start under their new manager and will look to respond to Friday’s 1-1 draw with Italy. Olise has emerged as a key attacking threat, while defensive solidity has marked Zidane’s opening games.
Belgium arrive with confidence after beating Turkey 3-0, but face a significant setback with Kevin De Bruyne and Youri Tielemans both suspended after picking up their second yellow cards of the Nations League campaign. France will be without Kylian Mbappé, while Matteo Guendouzi and Dayot Upamecano are suspended and Warren Zaïre-Emery is unavailable through injury.
How to watch and kick-off time
The match kicks off at 7.45pm at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis. Amazon Prime will show the game, with pay-per-view access costing £2.49. Coverage starts on the channel 10 minutes before kick-off. The match can also be streamed via the Amazon Prime app.
With only one point separating the sides, another tight contest looks likely. France have home advantage and the momentum of their recent win in Brussels, while Belgium will be determined to make up for that defeat and reclaim top spot.
