Belgium vs France: Predicted line-ups, kick off time, how watch on TV and online

A major clash awaits in the UEFA Nations League on Thursday night, as Belgium face France at the Juventus Stadium.

The two sides last met in the semi finals of the 2018 World Cup where a Samuel Umtiti header sent Les Blues to the final, which they went on to win.

The same coaches remain on either dugout, even though both Roberto Martinez and Didier Deschamps had disappointing Euro 2020 campaigns last summer. The Belgians were eliminated by eventual winners Italy in the quarter finals while the French outfit suffered a shock exit at the hands of Switzerland in the round of 16.

With the spotlight very much on both coaches for different reasons, passage to the final of the Nations League, and eventually winning it, would alleviate some doubt that pursues them.

Belgium vs France predicted line-ups:

Thibaut Courtois; Toby Alderweireld, Jason Denayer, Jan Vertonghen; Timothy Castagne, Axel Witsel, Youri Tielemans, Thorgan Hazard; Kevin de Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, Eden Hazard.

France's predicted XI: Hugo Lloris; Dayot Upamecano, Raphael Varane, Presnel Kimpembe, Benjamin Pavard, Lucas Digne; Paul Pogba, Adrien Rabiot; Antoine Griezmann, Kylian Mbappe, Karim Benzema.
