Zinedine Zidane has enjoyed an unbeaten start to life as France manager

Zinedine Zidane's tenure as France head coach has started in unbeaten fashion and he will be eyeing all three points when his side faces Belgium in the Nations League at the Stade de France on Monday.

Les Bleus registered 1-0 wins over Turkiye and Belgium before drawing 1-1 against Italy, leaving the 2026 World Cup semi-finalists top of Group A1 and in a good position to qualify for the quarter-finals.

Belgium, who are also under new management since Mark van Bommel's appointment in July, have registered victories against Italy (2-0) and Turkiye (3-0) either side of a defeat to France.

Team news

France will be forced into at least one change from the draw against Italy after Dayot Upamecano picked up a red card for two bookable offences. Kylian Mbappe is still unavailable due to a knee injury.

Belgium have no new injury issues to contend with for this contest and could field the same starting XI which defeated Turkiye on Friday.

The stats

France are unbeaten in Zidane's three matches in charge (W2 D1).

Both of Les Bleus's wins have come with clean sheets.

Michael Olise has scored in each of his last two matches for France.

Belgium's two wins under Van Bommel have been to nil, beating Italy 2-0 and Turkiye 3-0.

Kevin De Bruyne scored twice in the Red Devils' 3-0 win over Turkiye on Friday.

France have won the last six meetings against Belgium.

Prediction

France were the better side in the 1-0 win over Belgium in Brussels on matchday two and look capable of notching another victory when facing the Red Devils in Saint-Denis.

Zidane's side had an expected goals of 1.66 in that victory, substantially higher than Belgium's 0.19, and the extra quality the French boast in the final third can see them through this test.

But do not expect a plethora of goals in this contest as both teams have looked solid at the back, with France and Belgium keeping two clean sheets in their three Group A1 matches.

Under 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in all three of France's fixtures and in two of Belgium's contests, which suggests that defences may be on top again.

Complete this bet builder by adding in under 10.5 corners, which has landed in two of the three group games for both France and Belgium, including in the matchday two meeting in Brussels.

Score prediction: France 2-0 Belgium

Back France to win, under 2.5 goals & under 10.5 corners @ 5.4/1 with LiveScore Bet
