France vs Belgium LIVE! Euro 2024 result, match stream and latest updates today

Substitute Randal Kolo Muani scored with five minutes left to send twice-winners France through to the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 on Monday after beating a disappointing Belgium 1-0.

France will meet the winner of Monday's match between Portugal and Slovenia in the quarter-finals in Hamburg on Friday.

With the game looking like it was headed for extra time, Kolo Muani picked up a ball from N'Golo Kante and fired a shot that deflected off Jan Vertonghen past keeper Koen Casteels.

France were in control for most of the match, with Tchouameni and Marcus Thuram finding chances on both sides of halftime and Kylian Mbappe quick-footed and threatening. Belgium could have won the game late on, with Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne forcing good saves from French goalkeeper Mike Maignan.

The two-time winners will play either Portugal or Slovenia in the next round as they look for a place in the semi-finals.

Kevin De Bruyne responds to strong Belgium fan boos as lacklustre Euro 2024 continues

15:01 , Jonathan Gorrie

Kevin De Bruyne has called on Belgium fans to stick behind the team after they were booed off as they limped into the knockout stage with a 0-0 draw against Ukraine on Wednesday.

All four teams in Group E finished level on four points, with Belgium going through in second place on goal difference to book a last-16 tie with France.

Didier Deschamps set to roll the dice in meeting of floundering favourites

14:50 , Jonathan Gorrie

Two pre-tournament favourites who have yet to hit their stride meet for a place in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals when France play Belgium today.

France were tipped by many to win these Euros, such is their depth of talent in almost every position. But the 2022 World Cup finalists have stuttered so far, beating Austria thanks to an own goal before draws against Holland and Poland saw them through in second place.

Didier Deschamps is set to switch to a 4-4-2 formation with a midfield diamond tonight in a bid to spark the French. The new system will get his best players in their preferred positions but has never been tried before, so is a gamble.

Antoine Griezmann will play in the No10 role and Marcus Thuram will partner Kylian Mbappe up front.

France vs Belgium: Head to head (h2h) history and results

14:47 , Jonathan Gorrie

The all-time record between these two nations is somewhat skewed by Belgium’s dominance before the First World War. Since 1981, the Red Devils have won just two of 13 meetings and lost to France in the 2018 World Cup semi-finals.

France wins: 26

Belgium wins: 30

Draws: 19

France vs Belgium: Euro 2024 score prediction today

14:31 , Jonathan Gorrie

Neither of these teams look good but France have looked better than Belgium. Both sides might suit setting up to attack with pace on the counter, which could make for a bit of a chess game.

France to win, 1-0.

Belgium Euro 2024 team news vs France today

14:31 , Jonathan Gorrie

Belgium will give another opportunity to their senior stars in today’s Euro 2024 last-16 clash with France.

The Red Devils have been heavily criticised by their fans for a pair of limp displays in what looked like an easily winnable Group E, as a defeat to Slovakia and draw against Ukraine earned them a difficult knockout tie as runners-up.

There are plenty of options for Belgium to freshen up their team against their rivals, particularly in attack and Dodi Lukebakio could earn a quick recall after serving a one-game ban.

That could mean Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard drops to the bench, with Johan Bakayoko another contender to start.

Up front, RB Leipzig striker Lois Openda hit 24 goals in the Bundesliga last season but looks set to remain on the bench behind Romelu Lukaku, who has received negative reviews for missing chances.

Youri Tielemans has been a welcome addition to the midfield since recovering from injury midway through the group stage and should continue alongside Andre Onana and Kevin De Bruyne.

Belgium are less flushed with defensive options so are unlikely to change much having conceded just one goal so far.

France Euro 2024 team news vs Belgium today

14:30 , Jonathan Gorrie

Another shake-up to France’s attacking line-up is not out of the question when they face Belgium at Euro 2024 today.

Kylian Mbappe returned to the line-up for Tuesday’s draw with Poland which saw the pre-tournament favourites only manage to finish second in their group, behind Austria.

The Real Madrid-bound striker will continue to wear a face mask into the knockouts but his exact role, and the make-up of his supporting cast, is up for debate.

Didier Deschamps will reportedly not return Mbappe to the left wing, where he has often played his best football both domestically and internationally. That would require Les Bleus to gamble on starting the 37-year-old Olivier Giroud, or one of Randal Kolo Muani and the out-of-form Marcus Thuram, up front.

Antoine Griezmann is instead set to return having been dropped from the XI last time out in what is being billed as a 4-4-2 diamond formation.

Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola are set to be dropped with Griezmann playing in behind Mbappe and Thuram.

Deschamps will face calls to leave Adrien Rabiot out of his line-up, particularly if France shift away from the three-man midfield seen in the last two games, but Aurelien Tchouameni’s place is also under threat given N’Golo Kante’s strong displays so far.

France have at least kept the goals out thanks to a settled backline and Arsenal man William Saliba should keep his place in front of Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate for this evening’s last-16 tie.
