Where To Watch France vs. Belgium Live Stream, TV Channel, Lineups, Prediction | Euro 2024 Group Stage
In the round of 16 of Euro 2024, France are set to face Belgium at Dusseldorf on Monday Evening. Both teams might have underwhelmed at Euro 2024 yet, but one of them is about to step into the quarter-finals.
Neither France nor Belgium impressed un in the Euro 2024 group stage. Now they have landed on the more challenging side of the knockout draw.
Belgium’s pre-tournament expectations were not sky-high, but they were still expected to comfortably top Group E, which included Slovakia, Romania, and Ukraine. Instead, they finished second, managing only one win.
France, on the other hand, entered Euro 2024 as one of the favourites due to their immense talent and recent success in international tournaments. However, they also finished second in their group, with surprise package Austria claiming the top spot.
Scoring just two goals in the group stage—France’s lowest tally in a major tournament since the 2010 World Cup. They relied on an own goal from Austria’s Max Wöber and a Kylian Mbappé penalty, failing to score from 47 non-penalty attempts.

France vs. Belgium Predicted Lineups, Team News
France
Though France only conceded one penalty in the group stage, their overall performance was underwhelming, with 70 non-penalty shots in their group games failing to find the net.
Defensively solid, but unspectacular, France’s stalemates with the Netherlands and Poland mean they have drawn five of their last six Euros matches (W1), a sharp contrast to their previous 25 games in the competition (W14 L7).
While a place in the quarter-finals is the main prize, there are also personal milestones on the line for Mbappe. With his first Euros goal against Poland, the future Real Madrid star is one goal shy of Michel Platini’s French record for goals in major tournaments (14).
Mbappe is just two goals away from becoming the third player to score 50 goals for France, after Giroud (57) and Henry (51).
Liverpool defender Konate is likely to be on the bench for the Monday game. Dembele, Mbappe, and Rabiot may miss the next match if they are booked.
France Predicted Lineup:
Maignan, Theo Hernandez, Upamecano, Saliba, Kounde, Rabiot, Kante, Tchouameni, Griezmann, Dembele, Mbappe.
Belgium
Despite their lacklustre group stage, the Red Devils are a formidable opponent. They are in their third consecutive European Championship knockout stage, having reached the quarter-finals in both Euro 2016 and Euro 2020.
According to the coach of Belgium Domenico Tedesco:
“We’ll go out to win. We are here and we qualified for this EURO to be among the best teams. Now, we face a top team.
That’s why we qualified; otherwise, we could have stayed at home. These are the games we’re looking for, and anything is possible.”
While none of the Belgium players is suspended, Faes, Mangala and Tielemans will miss the next match if they are booked.
Belgium Predicted Lineup:
Casteels; Castagne, Faes, Vertonghen, Theate; Mangala, Onana, De Bruyne; Doku, Lukaku, Lukébakio.
France vs. Belgium Prediction
This will mark the 76th encounter between France and Belgium in men’s international football, making Belgium, France’s most frequent opponent.
Les Bleus have a perfect record against Belgium in major international tournaments winning all four previous matches and they would like to win the match too.
Prediction: France 1-0 Belgium.
