Euro 2024 France vs Belgium Round of 16: A highly anticipated rematch of the 2018 World Cup semi-final is set to unfold as France and Belgium clash in the Euro 2024 last-16 at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf on July 1st.

France, aiming to secure their third European Championship title, have yet to live up to their billing as tournament favorites in recent editions. In this year’s group stage, Les Bleus managed only one victory, finishing as runners-up in Group D with just two goals to their name.

Their campaign started with a fortunate 1-0 win over Austria, courtesy of an own goal. Kylian Mbappé added a second goal from the penalty spot, but it wasn't enough as Poland held them to a draw in their final group match.

Belgium’s group stage performance was similarly underwhelming. Drawn into a group with Slovakia, Ukraine, and Romania, the Red Devils finished with the same number of points as their group opponents. They advanced due to a superior goal difference over Slovakia and Ukraine, but trailed behind Romania, resulting in a second-place finish.

This unexpected outcome has set Belgium on a challenging path to the semifinals, requiring a significant improvement to compete with France.

Recent history favors France in this matchup. Les Bleus have triumphed in the last two competitive meetings against Belgium, securing a 3-2 victory in the 2021 UEFA Nations League and a narrow 1-0 win in the 2018 World Cup semi-final.
