With Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe playing starring roles for manager Didier Deschamps, France have had a good run of results in the last few months, making the UEFA Nations League semi-finals and topping their World Cup qualification group.

Belgium are in a strong position at the moment having made the UEFA Nations League semi-finals and starting the World Cup qualifiers in confident fashion.
