France sit second in Group 2 of the Nations League A and make the trip to third-placed Belgium on Monday night.
Both teams are without their star forwards, Romelu Lukaku and Kylian Mbappe, but the visitors still head into the game as the bookmaker's pick to secure all three points.

Belgium preview: The Red Devils are without key players
Belgium have picked up four points from their opening three games in this season's Nations League A but only sit third in the group behind France and Italy.
Domenico Tedesco's side did well to come from two goals behind in Italy to rescue a point but they were given a helping hand by the sending-off of Lorenzo Pellegrini shortly before the break.
Belgium are without the likes of Thomas Meunier, Amadou Onana, Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku and Yannick Carrasco so you can see why the bookmakers are leaning in France's favour.
Predicted lineup: Casteels (GK), Faes, De Cuyper, Theate, Debast, Tielemans, Mangala, Trossard, Openda, Doku & De Ketelaere

France preview: Aiming for third win over Belgium in 2024
After losing their opening game against Italy 3-1, France have bounced back with wins against Belgium at home and away at Israel in midweek.
Four different goalscorers were on target against Israel and with Kylian Mbappe out injured, showing that there are plenty of goals in this team even when the great man isn't available.
Dayot Upamecano, Ferland Mendy, Benjamin Pavard, N'Golo Kante and Kingsley Coman are also absent from the latest French squad, one which only boasts four players aged 30 or over.
Predicted lineup: Maignan (GK), Hernandez, Konate, Kounde, Saliba, Tchouameni, Olise, Camavinga, Dembele, Nkunku & Kolo Muani

Player to watch: Eduardo Camavinga
Eduardo Camavinga was one of the four players on target as France beat Israel 4-1 in midweek. The Frenchman opened the scoring with his second international goal in 22 caps to put his country on their way to another three points in the Nations League A.
Camavinga continues to develop at Real Madrid and the 21-year-old, who is into his fourth season with the Spanish giants, is already considered one of the best midfielders in world football.
The Real Madrid star scored his second goal for France in midweek
Not known for his goalscoring but rather his hard work and creative ability in the heart of midfield, we're backing Camavinga to control the game against Belgium and help guide his team to victory.
