📊 Match Insights

Zinedine Zidane aims to achieve his first victory as the head coach of France on home ground, as Les Bleus host Belgium at Stade de France for a UEFA Nations League clash on Monday. France was unable to secure a third straight 1-0 win, settling for a 1-1 draw against Italy on Friday after Alessandro Bastoni equalized. This result leaves Les Bleus just one point ahead of Belgium, who convincingly beat Turkiye 3-0 in Liege. Despite remaining unbeaten under the guidance of their 1998 World Cup-winning legend, the three-time world champions have experienced a mixed bag in their initial three matches following Didier Deschamps' departure. Zidane's tenure began with a narrow 1-0 victory over Turkiye, followed by a tighter win against Belgium last week, showcasing an improved performance. However, the match against Italy revealed some weaknesses in Les Bleus' play. While Gianluigi Donnarumma was outstanding in goal for Italy, Roberto Mancini’s side arguably deserved the draw after a commendable performance in Paris, where France was aiming for their fifth consecutive competitive win. This draw halted France's four-match winning streak in competitive fixtures at home, a record they hope to rebuild against Belgium, with whom they share a historical head-to-head record of 30 wins each. Nevertheless, France has been victorious in their last six encounters with Belgium, including a 1-0 win in Brussels last September under Zidane's management. Mark van Bommel will certainly be eager for this quick rematch following the last game, which was decided by Michael Olise’s late winner in the 88th minute when a draw appeared imminent. The Dutch coach can take some confidence from his team's clean sheets against Italy and Turkiye surrounding their loss to France, and they were close to achieving another shutout against the talented French squad until the final moments.
