Belgium vs France Predictions

• France have failed to win five of their last nine away matches
• Belgium have won eight of their last 11 home games
• Belgium are unbeaten in their last 12 games without Kevin De Bruyne (W7 D5)

Key absences on both sides

Belgium face France in a pivotal Nations League A game on Sunday in Brussels without Kevin De Bruyne, although his absence has not been an issue for them in the past.

The Red Devils fought back from two goals down to claim a 2-2 draw with Italy on Thursday in a game that turned on a controversial red card decision for Lorenzo Pellegrini.

That ensured Belgium remained unbeaten in their last 12 games without De Bruyne, who has requested to miss November’s matches against Italy and Israel in addition to their games this month.

Red Devils stars are in good form

Belgium’s battling qualities and the good recent form of stars like Leandro Trossard, Lois Openda and Youri Tielemans make them an intriguing Draw No Bet prospect in this match against the French.

Didier Deschamps’ side deserved their 2-0 home win over the Red Devils last month, but away results have been much harder to come by for France. They have failed to win five of their last nine away matches and look worth opposing in this clash.

Without the likes of recently retired Antoine Griezmann, the injured Dayot Upamecano, Presnel Kimpembe and Lucas Hernandez and with several other big players like Kylian Mbappé, N’Golo Kanté, Adrien Rabiot and Benjamin Pavard not in the squad, they may lack the experience to beat the Belgians.
