The second UEFA Nations League 2024–25 match between France and their longtime adversary Belgium will take place at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Décines-Charpieu, France.
On Tuesday, September 10, at 12:15 AM IST, the France vs. Belgium UEFA Nations League 2024-25 League A Group 2 match will begin. In India, the match will be televised and streamed live.
The France national football team will try to recover under head coach Didier Deschamps after losing 1-3 to Italy in their opening match in the 2024–25 UEFA Nations League at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
Bradley Barcola’s goal put France up early on, but Federico Dimarco, Davide Frattesi, and Giacomo Raspadori’s goals later gave the visitors a commanding advantage.
The loss has left France, the champions of the UEFA Nations League 2020–21, mired at the bottom of the League A Group 2 rankings.
However, after defeating Israel 3-1 in their opening match of the UEFA Nations League 2024–25 at the Nagyerdei Stadion in Debrecen, Hungary, the Belgian national football team will enter the match with a lot of confidence.
Youri Tielemans’ goal and captain Kevin De Bruyne’s brace enabled the Red Devils win the game with as many points as possible.
Belgium, led by Domenico Tedesco, will seek retribution after losing to France in the UEFA European Championship 2024 just two months ago.
Didier Deschamps was unable to make many changes to France’s starting lineup after the team gave up three goals to Italy.
When they play Belgium, players like Jules Kounde and Dayot Upamecano may start.
Alongside Kylian Mbappe, Bradley Barcola, and Antoine Griezmann, Michael Olise, Ousmane Dembélé, Randal Kolo Muani, and Marcus Thuram will vie for a starting position.
Romelu Lukaku, Belgium’s standout forward and all-time leading scorer, has been rested. If Belgium wants to win the match, Lois Openda, Jérémy Doku, and Kevin De Bruyne will be crucial in Lukaku’s absence.
