Belgium vs. France UEFA Nations League Sept. 28

The top two teams in UEFA Nations League League A, Group 1 meet Monday as Belgium hosts France at King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels for a 2:45 p.m. ET kickoff.

Belgium won its Nations League opener this past Friday with a 2-0 shutout victory over Italy in the men’s national team’s first match since its 2-1 quarterfinal loss to Spain at the 2026 World Cup. Italy controlled more possession and took more shots overall, but Belgium goalkeeper Senne Lammens was perfect with six saves on six shots on target, while Mika Godts and Dodi Lukébakio scored the two goals.

France enters Monday in second place in the group, with Belgium holding the top spot thanks to a better goal differential. However, France has a chance to take over first place with a win.

After being shut out by Spain in the World Cup semifinals and then falling to England 6-4 in the third-place match, France opened Nations League play with a 1-0 shutout win over Türkiye. Kylian Mbappé scored the lone goal, while goalkeeper Mike Maignan made all three saves to secure the victory.

Unfortunately for France, Mbappé suffered a left knee injury while taking the shot that resulted in his goal. Although he initially tried to remain in the match, he left shortly afterward and did not return. Mbappé will not be in the lineup Monday and is expected to be out for about two weeks, which is a massive blow for France head coach Zinédine Zidane and his squad.

France vs. Belgium Best Bet: Michael Olise To Score or Assist (-180)

With Mbappé out for France, other players will have to step up in his absence. One of those players is Ousmane Dembélé, who will serve as captain Monday against Belgium, but another is Michael Olise.

Olise is a dynamic playmaker who regularly creates scoring opportunities for his teammates while also being more than capable of finding the back of the net himself. In fact, he already recorded an assist on Mbappé’s goal against Türkiye this past Friday.

There’s plenty of reason to believe Olise will be a major factor in Monday’s match against Belgium, especially with Mbappé unavailable and France needing other attacking players to take on larger roles.
