France take on Belgium in the final of four Nations League games of this international break. Les Bleus, undergoing a new regime under Zinedine Zidane, have started their next chapter with two wins and a draw so far under the former Real Madrid boss.
France's recent form
It started with a narrow 1-0 win over Turkey thanks to Kylian Mbappe’s winner, before another 1-0 win in Belgium after Michael Olise’s late strike. They were held to a 1-1 draw by Italy last time out as Olise’s opener was cancelled out by Alessandro Bastoni’s equaliser. Dayot Upamecano also saw red for a second booking late on at the Stade de France.
Belgium's new start
Now, the world’s fourth-best side - after their 6-4 defeat by England in the third-place play-off - face the Red Devils, who are also starting their next adventure under Mark van Bommel. A 2-0 victory in Italy and a 3-0 win over Turkey has started them in good stead, with Kevin de Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku getting the goals.
