This Friday, the French national team will play a Nations League match against Belgium at 8:45 PM CET at the King Baudouin Stadium. The match involves four Paris Saint-Germain players: three Frenchmen—Désiré Doué, Maghnes Akliouche, and Ousmane Dembélé—and one Belgian, Mika Godts. L’Équipe projects the following lineup:
Barcola – Doué – Olise
Rabiot – Camavinga – Cherki
Diouf – Lacroix – Upamecano – Koundé
Maignan
It is a highly plausible lineup; the media proved accurate regarding the first match against Turkey. However, surprises remain possible until the official announcement is made—especially given the tight schedule during this international break, which necessitates managing players’ playing time.
It is difficult to predict the final choices without full information regarding player fatigue. The squad offers various tactical options, and Zinedine Zidane must find the best possible formula. We will await the official announcement—expected about an hour before kickoff—for certainty.
