|Saliba et ses partenaires voudront relever la tête face à la Belgique. MAXPPP – Sébastien Muylaert
After a failed comeback against Italy (1-3) on Friday, the French team hosts Belgium this Monday (8:45 p.m.) for the 2nd day of the Nations League. A match to follow live with commentary here.
Good memories not to be forgotten. France hosts Belgium, this Monday (8:45 p.m.) in Lyon on the occasion of the second day of the League of Nations. An opponent that is doing them rather well at the moment since the Blues have won the three previous confrontations including the last one this summer in the 8th finals of the Euro (1-0).
The team of coach Didier Deschamps will have to make up for their poor performance on Friday against the Italians and a deserved defeat (1-3).
For its part, Belgium won (3-1) against Israel for its first match in this edition.
The composition of France: Maignan – Digne, Saliba, Upamecano, Koundé – Koné, Kanté (C), Guendouzi – Dembélé, Thuram, Kolo Muani.
The composition of Belgium: Casteels – Castagne, Debast, Faes, Theate – Tielemans, Onana – Lukebakio, De Bruyne, Doku – Openda.
