Belgium vs France UEFA Nations League Tips & Prediction - France to make it six straight wins over Belgium
France look primed to secure a sixth consecutive victory over Belgium in Monday's UEFA Nations League clash in Brussels. Despite Kylian Mbappe's absence due to injury, Ousmane Dembele—deployed as the main striker—heads up a strong Les Bleus attack. Both sides opened with weekend wins under new managers, but France's recent head-to-head advantage (winning the last five meetings) makes them favourites. Expect an exciting match, both teams to score, and Dembele likely to feature on the scoresheet. Key Belgium injury: Leandro Trossard remains sidelined.

Belgium vs France UEFA Nations League Tips & Prediction
France are tipped to extend their recent H2H dominance over neighbours Belgium, with Ousmane Dembele finding the back of the net in this UEFA Nations League A showdown in Brussels on Monday night.
Both teams come into this heavyweight Nations League showdown following victories this past weekend, with France edging out Turkiye 1-0 in Istanbul and Belgium producing a great performance to pile more misery on Italy with a 2-0 win in Rome.
It was also a winning start for new managers Zinedine Zidane and Marc Van Bommel, but it's Les Bleus that have the matchup advantage going into this one.
Indeed, France have won the last five meetings between the teams, including entertaining 3-2 and 2-1 victories in the Nations League since 2021.
With Kylian Mbappe set to miss this game after suffering a knee injury in the win over Turkiye, Ousmane Dembele sticks out as the main focal point in attack.
Dembele had already been deployed as the No. 9 under Zidane, with Mbappe moving to his preferred left wing, while the PSG attacker is the only member of this French squad to have scored against Belgium.
So our best bets for this one are France to make it six wins on the trot over Belgium in game that sees both teams find the back of the net, with Dembele on target.

Belgium vs France Head To Head
Belgium actually hold a 30-29 overall record over France, alongside 19 draws - but as mentioned, Les Bleus have won the last five encounters.
Belgium Form Analysis
It was a solid World Cup for Belgium as they took advantage of a relatively soft draw to reach the quarter-finals, where they became the only team to score against eventual winners Spain.
Marc Van Bommel has taken charge after that campaign and it was an impressive debut for the manager, with Belgium coming away with a 2-0 victory over Italy in Rome at the weekend.
It was the first time Belgium have kept a clean sheet in four games, but the Red Devils did lose the shot count 21-19 and will need to tidy up that defence in order to keep free-scoring France at bay.
Mika Godts gave Belgium the lead in the first half before Dodi Lukebakio doubled their advantage and confirmed all three points in the second stanza.
Belgium Team News
Kevin de Bruyne remains as influential as ever and registered his 15th goal involvement in 16 Nations League appearances (G5, A10) against Italy.
Leandro Trossard remains sidelined in the only main injury concern for Belgium.
Belgium Possible Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Senne Lammens; Timothy Castagne, Nathan Ngoy, Brandon Mechele, Maxim De Cuyper; Nicolas Raskin, Youri Tielemans; Diego Moreira, Kevin De Bruyne, Mika Godts; Charles De Ketelaere
France Form Analysis
France looked capable of challenging Spain at the World Cup after Mbappe and Michael Olise led the team to some big wins through the World Cup, but they ultimately had no answer in the semi-finals as La Roja's defence kept them at bay in a 2-0 defeat.
Zinedine Zidane has taken over from Didier Deschamps and celebrated his debut as manager with a tough 1-0 victory on the road to Turkiye in last weekend's Nations League opener.
However, it wasn't an entirely convincing performance - France dominated possession with 64 per cent of the ball, but lost the xG and ended up losing Mbappe to injury after the Real Madrid superstar netted what was the only goal of the match.
France Team News
Mbappe is out for this game, but could be back in action for Real at the end of this three-week international break.
Still lots of attacking flair on show here, with Olise, Desiree Doue and Rayan Cherki set to support Dembele in the final third.
France Possible Starting XI (4-3-3): Mike Maignan; Jules Kounde, Dayot Upamecano, Maxence Lacroix, Adrien Truffert; Rayan Cherki, Manu Kone, Adrien Rabiot; Michael Olise, Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue
Verdict
France are backed for a sixth straight win over Belgium, with Dembele getting on the scoresheet.
