Belgium finished second in Group E of UEFA EURO 2024 and have yet to hit their stride in this year's tournament. The Belgian "Red Devils" were held to a 0-0 draw in their last match, against Ukraine, and will be looking to improve their form in the round of 16.
Meanwhile, the French "Roosters" also only won second place in their group at EURO 2024 (behind Austria) and have not played up to expectations in Germany. Les Bleus had a 1-1 draw with Poland in their most recent match at EURO 2024.
After beating Austria - some might say by luck - on matchday one, Les Bleus have been held to back-to-back draws by the Netherlands and Poland.
They scored just two goals en route to the round of 16, their fewest in the group stage of a major tournament since the 2010 World Cup (1). Furthermore, those two goals came from an own goal by Max Wöber (Austria) and a penalty by Kylian Mbappé.
Following stalemates against the Netherlands and Poland, France have drawn five of their last six games at the EUROs after drawing just four of their previous 25 games at the tournament. Their game at this stage of EURO 2020 is also one of those five draws, drawing 3-3 with Switzerland before losing 5-4 on penalties.
