France vs Belgium prediction: A battle of the titans

On 10th October 2021, two of Europe's finest face off in the semi-finals of the Nations League Finals - France vs Belgium. Will history repeat itself as Les Bleus seek to once again deny the Red Devils a major title, or will Belgium finally break their title hoodoo?
A tale of two teams
France came into the Nations League Finals in impressive form, having won their group ahead of Portugal, Croatia, and Sweden. They also reached the final of Euro 2020, where they were narrowly defeated by Italy on penalties.
Belgium, meanwhile, have a slightly less impressive recent record. They finished second in their Nations League group behind Denmark, and they were knocked out of Euro 2020 in the quarter-finals by Italy. However, they remain one of the world's top-ranked teams and will be confident of causing an upset against France.
Key players
Both teams have a wealth of talent at their disposal, but there are a few key players who could make the difference in this match.
For France, Kylian Mbappé is the obvious danger man. The 22-year-old is one of the most exciting players in the world and is capable of winning matches on his own. Karim Benzema, Antoine Griezmann, and Paul Pogba are also key players for Les Bleus.
For Belgium, Romelu Lukaku is the main attacking threat. The Chelsea striker is one of the most prolific goalscorers in Europe and will be looking to add to his tally against France. Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, and Thibaut Courtois are also key players for the Red Devils.
Prediction
This is a match that could go either way. Both teams have their strengths and weaknesses, and it will likely come down to who makes the most of their chances.
France will be confident of victory, but Belgium will be no pushovers. The Red Devils have a good record against Les Bleus, and they will be determined to prove that they are the best team in Europe.
My prediction is that France will win 2-1. They have the quality and the experience to overcome Belgium, but it will be a close match.
