France-Belgium FIFA World Cup Semi-finals Top FREE Predictions

FRANCE

After the amazing results against Argentina and Uruguay now its time for France to face their biggest challenge in the tournament-Belgium and their Golden Generation. Les Bleus were little lucky in the quarter-finals because they didn't have to worry about covering Cavani, who got injured. France didn't need to step it up a gear to secure a 2-0 win but they were far from convincing in the victory. Against Argentina, they showed how dangerous their counter-attacks can be and even they are the second youngest team in the tournament, they are capable of comebacks. In these 2 games, they scored 6 goals which are the best performance of any of the 4 teams left in the tournament. 3 of the 5 games they finished with a clean sheet and only Australia(from a penalty) and Argentina managed to score against their defence. France has won 6 of their last 7 matches in WC. Mbappe and Griezmann will be the players who will be expected to score again (6 of the last 9 goals are on their names).

BELGIUM

The Red Devils and their Golden Generation is showing the best football in the tournament. After the amazing comeback against Japan, they showed everybody that even Brazil is not good enough for them. They are the only team who won all their 5 games in the tournament and they are leading in goal scoring- 14 goals(for now). Hazard, Lukaku and De Bruyne are the best-attacking trios and now they have to find out how to score against the young and fast defence of France. Belgium has scored at least two goals in all but one game(against England when they made 9 changes in their starting line up) in this competition. Belgium will be without the suspended Thomas Meunier who picked up a yellow card against Brazil. Thomas Vermaelen may come into the team at right-back but Roberto Martinez could make a tactical switch and revert to three at the back. 

PREDICTION

This should be a very entertaining World Cup semi-final.  Both teams are full of great players and if we get an early goal, there could be many more to follow. We believe that both teams will show their best in this match. The problems for Belgium will come from the right wing where Meunier will be missing and we probably see more attacks from that side, Mbappe could be seen to go on that wing most of the time during the attacks and use his amazing speed. Umtiti and Pogba are the players in the French side who may be in trouble in this game- playing against Lukaky and Fellaini, two very physical strong players may have a bad outcome of the game as well. Hazard and De Bruyne will be playing against the Pavard and Hernandez(2 good defenders, but with not enough experience in big games like this one)  We expect the game to be over 2.5 goals and both teams to score, as well we think we will see a lot of free kicks and corner kicks in which both teams showed that they are very good in the air. The last time these two teams faced off against each other at the World Cup Finals was Mexico 1986 in the third-place playoff. On that occasion, France prevailed by winning 4-2 in extra time, after the first 90 minutes yielded at 2-2.
