FFaced with our eternal rivals, our Red Devils already have particular pressure against France this Monday but will also face a certain challenge. In case of defeat, it will be practically impossible for Belgium to finish among the top two in the group. Finishing in third position would take the Red Devils into play-down where they would face a nation that finished in second place in Group B.
After the draw obtained during the last match in Italy (2-2), Domenico Tedesco’s men are three points behind against the Squadra and two against the Blues. The coach still believes in qualification: “Yes, I still believe in second place,” national coach Domenico Tedesco convincingly declared yesterday during his press conference. “Even a point wouldn’t change anything, even if we are aiming for victory. There is definitely still a chance that we finish in the top two. »
For this 78th Belgian-French duel, the Roi Baudouin stadium will be sold out to push the Devils towards a first success in an official match against France since September 9, 1981. Belgium remains on four consecutive losses against the French: in semi-final of the 2018 World Cup, in the semi-final of the 2021 Nations League and more recently in the round of 16 of Euro 2024 and last September 9 in Lyon during the first leg.
