The France vs Belgium live stream will be one of the highlights of the round of 16 at Euro 2024.

France were the joint favorites pre-tournament but they were unconvincing in the group stage. They have only scored twice so far – one was an own goal and one was a penalty. Their coach Didier Deschamps is tried and tested at this level, though, and France have significant star quality across the pitch.

Belgium were equally unimpressive in Group E, scrambling to a second-place finish despite widely tipped to collect maximum points. The Red Devils may well dominate possession against this cautious France side, but their defense is cause for concern. If Belgium are to cause an upset, they will need Kevin De Bruyne to be at his best.

Deschamps has shifted to a 4-4-2 diamond formation with Marcus Thuram selected alongside Kylian Mbappe in attack. Axel Witsel and Thomas Meunier are still nursing injuries for Belgium, so neither player is in their starting XI for this match.

France XI: Maignan, Kounde, Upamecano, Saliba, Hernandez, Kante, Tchouameni, Rabiot, Griezmann, Thuram, Mbappe. 

Belgium XI: Casteels, Castagne, Vertonghen, Faes, Theate, Carrasco, Onana, De Bruyne, Doku, Lukaku, Openda.
