A highly anticipated showdown between France and Belgium is set to take place at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Dusseldorf. Both teams were expected to have an easier path in the knockout stage but faced challenges in the group stage matches.
France failed to top their group after a draw with Poland, relinquishing the top spot to Austria. While Belgium’s lackluster performances in a seemingly easy Group E led to them facing a tough matchup in the knockout stage as runners-up.
