Belgium vs France Lineups September 2026 – Hoping to continue their winning start under Zinedine Zidane, France will travel to face Belgium in a UEFA Nations League A match.

The game is scheduled to take place at King Baudouin Stadium on Monday, September 28, 2026, at 20:45 local time.

Les Bleus are determined to continue their success from the opening match, while the Red Devils want to build on their first victory under new coach Mark van Bommel.

Now, before the match begins, let’s take a look at Mansion Sports’ prediction for the Belgium vs France lineups September 2026 below!

Both Teams’ Condition Ahead of the Match

Belgium

Belgium enter this international break after being eliminated in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup, but fans will hope that a victory in Van Bommel’s first match as coach has set them on the path to success at Euro 2028.

The Red Devils defeated Italy 2-0 on Friday, thanks to an opening goal from Mika Godts in the first half and a second-half goal from Dodi Lukebakio.

Regardless of the result, the victory marked the first time in five matches that Belgium had managed to keep a clean sheet, a positive sign ahead of Monday’s match against the team with one of the most complete attacking forces in Europe.

Van Bommel will take charge of his first home match as coach, and given the quality of the opposition, he will rely on the Red Devils’ impressive home record, which includes nine matches unbeaten with six victories before the match begins.

However, although Belgium have not lost at home since November 2024, they have suffered defeat in their last five meetings with France, a run that began in June 2015.

France

France enjoyed major success under former coach Didier Deschamps, and although his successor, Zidane, has an impressive collection of trophies, replacing the former coach will be a difficult task.

Les Bleus faced Turkey on Friday, when Kylian Mbappe’s efforts were enough to secure three points through a hard-fought 1-0 victory away from home.

Although Zidane will certainly be pleased to begin his managerial tenure with a victory, it could be argued that the performance was still far from dominant for France, who recorded 64% possession but produced only 1.17 expected goals, lower than Turkey’s 1.21 xG.

To make matters worse, Mbappe suffered a knee injury shortly after scoring the winning goal, and the Real Madrid star will be sidelined for at least several weeks as a result of the injury.

This means France will be without their most dangerous attacker on Monday, but considering they have recorded eight wins and one draw in their last nine away matches, Les Bleus fans will remain optimistic about their chances.
