This is the game I've been looking forward to most since the Portugal-Spain clash.

Expected line-ups:
France: Lloris, Pavard, Varane, Umtiti, Lucas, Pogba, Kante, Tolisso, Mbappe, Griezmann, Giroud.
Potentially Matuidi replaces Tolisso, as he's back from suspension
Belgium: Courtouis, Alderweireled, Vertonghen, Kompany, Carrasco, Fellaini, Witsel, Chadli, De Bruyne, Hazard, Lukaku
I think both of these defenses are fallible, so we should have plenty of chances at goals with lots of acrobatics from two capable keepers. Belgiium will be a bit weaker without Meunier, so expect France to target them on the right.
