France – Belgium World Cup Semi Finals Tips

Both teams are aiming for a place for the grand finale of this world. No benefit in terms of motivation

State of form

Still undefeated in this 2018 World Cup, France is making a solid run for the moment and is confident in this semi-final. First in Pool C, Hugo Lloris’ team-mates have been gradually gaining momentum as the competition progresses, with wins against Australia (2-1) and Peru (1-0), as well as a draw conceded against Denmark (0-0). Then the Tricolores got rid of Argentina in the round of 16 (4-3) and Uruguay in 1/4 Friday (2-0). Dominating throughout the match and having opened the score by Captain Varane late in the first period, the men of Didier Deschamps also took advantage of a big ball of the goalkeeper Muslera to fold the game early in the 2nd half .
Arrived in the world with the status of very big outsider, Belgium has so far confirmed all the expectations placed in it. Unkind during the group stage with 3 ranked wins against Panama (3-0), Tunisia (5-2) and England (1-0), the Red Devils were then very scared against Japan in the 8th finals (3-2), pulling the victory in the last second of stoppage of play. Opposed to the great Brazil in the quarter finals, the partners of Eden Hazard have long suffered, but they finally signed a huge feat by taking out the five-time world champion (2-1).

The staff for France – Belgium

Threatened with a suspension in case of yellow card against Uruguay, the French Pogba, Pavard, Giroud and Tolisso have passed through the drops and will be well available for this 1/2 final. All in all, the Tricolores can also rely on the middle Matuidi, back suspension and tied with Tolisso (solid against the Celeste) for a place holder.
This is classic for Belgium that will a priori align the same system as against Brazil, with de Bruyne positioned higher than the first games and the beefy Fellaini in the midfield to improve ball recovery. Only downside, the suspension of Thomas Meunier right side at the piston position. Logically, the Parisian side should be replaced by Chadli, which would lead to the entry of Vermaelen in the defense at 3 and Vertonghen’s shift to the left piston position.

Probable compositions for France – Belgium (appointment at 19h for the official songs):

France: Lloris – Hernandez, Umtiti, Varane, Pavard – Kanté, Pogba – Mbappé, Griezmann, Matuidi (or Tolisso) – Giroud.
Belgium: Courtois – Alderweireld, Kompany, Vermaelen – Vertonghen, Witsel, Fellaini, Chadli – De Bruyne, Lukaku, Hazard.

Prediction France – Belgium

Impressive against Uruguay, France will have to repeat the same performance to snatch his qualification against Belgium. A notch above defensively, the Tricolores can win this Tuesday night.
