PREDICTED LINE-UPS

France: Peyraud-Magnin; Perisset, Tounkara, Renard, Karchaoui; Geyoro, Bilbault, Toletti; Diani, Katoto, Cascarino

Belgium: Evrard; Vangheluwe, Kees, De Neve, Philtjens; Vanhaevermaet, Biesmans; Eurlings, De Caigny, Cayman; Wullaert

France laid a marker down as to their Euro 2022 credentials last weekend as they thrashed Italy 5-1. Grace Geyoro stole the show with a fantastic hat-trick whilst Marie-Antoinette Katoto was also on the scoresheet. It’s hard not to see them continuing in the same fashion in front of goal against Belgium. Whilst the Red Flames aren’t to be underestimated and should prove difficult to break down having only once conceded more than one goal in their last 12 international fixtures, this French outfit look too strong going forward and are expected to extend their winning run to 16 matches here.
