New France manager Zinedine Zidane will be looking for his first home win in charge of Les Bleus when they host Belgium in Paris on Monday. League of Nations cookie
France drew 1-1 against Italy on Friday as Michael Olise’s superb goal was canceled out by Alex Bastoni to set up a quality draw at the top of Group A.
The two sides met last week and Olise was again the difference in a France win by 1-0.
Zidane is expected to turn things around for the final game of this busy international window.
“There will be changes, that’s for sure,” he said
“It’s our fourth game and there’s nothing we can do. We’ll make smart changes and, above all, we’ll do it to be competitive.
Now I’m a little frustrated that it’s ending. We have one last push to make to end this training camp on a high note.”

News of the France-Belgium team
France are without defender Dayot Upamecano who is suspended after receiving a late booking against Italy.
That should see Maxence Lacroix start, while the Blues are of course still without the injured Kylian Mbappe.
Belgium are without highly experienced pairing Kevin de Bruyne and Youri Tielemans, so Romeo Lavia is expected to start in the middle again.

Even without Mbappe, France are full of talent and Belgium’s penalties in midfield leave them short.
