EUROPE: UEFA Nations League - League A - Play Offs - Semi-finals
Spain's final opponent will come from a match of two heavyweights in world football. France is the reigning world champion, while Belgium tops the FIFA world rankings.
Belgium have never won a major tournament and their golden generation is slowly getting older. At the last world championship they were stopped in the semi-finals by France, who overcame them by the narrowest of margins, 1-0, with a goal from Umtiti.
For both teams, today's duel is a welcome opportunity to forget the failed performance at this year's EURO, where France was knocked out in the 1/8-finals and Belgium just one round later. At the same time, it will be a duel of two elite offensives. As far as Belgium is concerned, their offensive strength is very strong. The sniper Lukaku is on the attack, helped by Hazard or KDB. Belgium has scored 26 goals in the last ten games, which gives us an average of 2.6 goals per game. France, on the other hand, has strength in attack thanks to stars like Mbappe, Griezzman, Pogba and the experienced Giroud and Benzema. All quality in the attacking phase. In terms of goal stats for this team, we have seen 27 goals in the last 10 games for France, so the average is 2.7 goals per game.
It is very likely that both teams will score. An early goal like in the opening semi-final, which Spain won against Italy 2-1, would help the match.
My bet:
Both Teams to Score - Yes @ 1.83 (bet365)
