The match:

Belgium vs France

What a spectacular game we’ll witness in the second semi-final of the UEFA Nations League when Belgium and France clash this Thursday.

Factors to consider:

The Red Devils managed to leave behind the likes England, Denmark and Iceland in the group stage, with 5 victories and just one defeat against the British.

Belgium head to the game with a 3-win streak recently in the World Cup qualifiers, after being kicked out of the Euro 2020 at hands of eventual title holders Italy.

Les Bleus, meanwhile, come to the semi-finals after taking down Portugal, Croatia and Sweden in group 3 unbeaten, wining 5 of their 6 fixtures, while drawing the remaining one.

The French side isn’t at full strength. Before beating Finland 2-0 in the WC qualifiers, couldn’t handle Bosnia and Ukraine drawing the previous fixtures. Not to mention that they couldn’t make it beyond the round of 16 in the Euro Cup losing to Switzerland in penalties.

Face to face:

The most recent meeting between the two is a painful one for the Belgians, as they were eliminated from the the Russia World Cup semi-finals, losing by one goal.

In the five encounters disputed this century, the France takes the lead, although slim, with two wins, two draws, losing just once.

Conclusion:

The Golden Generation of Belgium seems getting at the edge of achieving something tournament after tournament, and this might be the one for Roberto Martinez’ men, and with a younger generation such as Tielemans and Doku accompanying De Bruyne and company, it could be the boost they desperately need.

However, that task will be everything but easy, as the current World Cup Champions will fight to the very last minute and make up for a bad Euro Cup.

To sum up, it will be a very intense yet attractive match, a real clash, and with Lukaku, De Bruyne, Mbappe and Benzema at the field, to name a few, how can anyone bet against the goals.

Prediction:

Over 2.5 goals. In case there are two goals by halftime you could lock in

比赛:

比利时和法国

本周四，比利时和法国将在欧足联第二场半决赛中对决，我们将见证一场多么壮观的比赛。

考虑因素:

红魔在小组赛中击败了英格兰、丹麦和冰岛，5胜1负。

比利时在2020年欧洲杯被最终的冠军持有者意大利踢出局后，在最近的世界杯预选赛中取得了三连胜。

与此同时，蓝军在3组以不败战绩击败葡萄牙、克罗地亚和瑞典，晋级半决赛。他们的6场比赛中赢得5场，剩下的一场平局。

法国队的兵力还不够。在世界杯预选赛中以2-0击败芬兰之前，在前几场比赛中未能战胜波斯尼亚和乌克兰。更不用说他们在欧洲杯的16强中，在点球大战中输给了瑞士。

面对面:

最近的一次交锋对比利时人来说是痛苦的，因为他们在俄罗斯世界杯半决赛中以一分之差被淘汰。

在本世纪五场有争议的交锋中，法国队以两胜两平、只输一场的微弱优势领先。

结论:

比利时的黄金一代似乎在一场又一场比赛的边缘取得了一些成就，这可能是罗伯托·马丁内斯(Roberto Martinez)的球员们的成就，而有像提勒曼斯(Tielemans)和多库(Doku)这样的年轻一代和德布鲁因(De Bruyne)一起，这可能是他们迫切需要的推动力。

然而，这个任务并不容易，因为目前的世界杯冠军将战斗到最后一分钟，以弥补糟糕的欧洲杯。

总而言之，这将是一场非常激烈而有吸引力的比赛，一场真正的冲突，有卢卡库、德布鲁因、姆巴佩和本泽马在球场上，举几个例子，谁能打赌会进球呢?

预测:

超过2.5的目标。如果在半场前有两个进球，你就可以锁定胜局
