Current streaks

Recent form

France

France's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with their last six matches resulting in one win, three draws, and two losses. The team has struggled offensively, scoring only 4 goals in these 6 games, averaging a low 0.67 goals per game. Defensively, they've been more solid, keeping 3 clean sheets, but have conceded 6 goals overall. Their last two matches have resulted in consecutive losses, including a 3-1 defeat to Italy in their most recent game, which was also their highest-scoring match in this period. France's defensive prowess is evident in the fact that 67% of their recent games have seen under 2.5 goals scored. However, their negative goal difference (-2) and the fact that they've failed to score in two of their last six matches indicate a need for improvement in their attacking play.

Belgium

Belgium's recent form shows a mixed performance with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last 6 matches. Their goal-scoring ability has been relatively consistent, netting 8 goals in total, but they've been particularly strong defensively, conceding only 3 goals and keeping 3 clean sheets. The team has demonstrated a tendency towards lower-scoring games, with 67% of their matches featuring under 2.5 goals. Notably, Belgium's most recent victory against Israel (3-1) in the UEFA Nations League was their highest-scoring game in this period, breaking a pattern of tighter contests. While there are no extended winning or losing streaks, the team has alternated between wins and non-wins in their last five matches, suggesting some inconsistency in their performances across different competitions, including the European Championship and friendly matches.

Recent home/away form

France

France's recent home form shows a mixed performance with a noticeable decline in their most recent match. They had a solid run of three consecutive wins, including two 3-goal performances against Luxembourg and Chile, before encountering a slight dip with two draws. The team maintained clean sheets in 50% of these games, demonstrating defensive strength. However, their latest match against Italy resulted in a surprising 3-1 loss, breaking their unbeaten streak at home. Despite this setback, France has been consistently scoring, averaging 1.5 goals per game, while conceding an average of 1 goal per game. The total goals average of 2.5 per match suggests entertaining games for spectators, with an even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals.

Belgium

Belgium's recent away form shows a mixed bag of results, with a notable decline in performance. After securing two consecutive wins in their Euros Qualifiers against Azerbaijan and Austria, Belgium hit a rough patch, drawing three matches in a row against the Republic of Ireland, England, and Ukraine, before suffering a narrow loss to France in the European Championship. While their defense has been relatively solid, keeping three clean sheets in six games and conceding an average of 0.83 goals per game, their attacking output has dwindled, scoring only six goals across these matches. The 3-2 victory against Austria stands out as the highest-scoring game in this sequence, but it's worth noting that two-thirds of their recent away matches have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards tighter, lower-scoring contests.
