France kept the pressure on Italy at the top of the Nations League A Group 2 standings on Thursday with a dominant display against Israel.
Didier Deschamps will be hoping for more of the same when his former world champions travel to Brussels for a showdown against Belgium on Monday.
However, confidence within Domenico Tedesco’s side would have increased after coming from two goals down to earn a draw in Italy on Thursday.

Belgium Team News
Matz Sels and Amadou Onana pulled out of the October internationals due to injuries sustained with their clubs.
Meanwhile, Jeremy Doku was replaced in Belgium’s draw with Italy in midweek, but it was reported that the substitute was a precaution and the Man City star should be fit to start on Monday.
Possible Lineup
Koen Casteels (GK); Zeno Debast, Wout Faes, Artur Theate, Maxim De Cuyper, Youri Tielemans, Orel Mangala, Jeremy Doku, Charles De Ketelaere, Leandro Trossard, Lois Openda
France Team News
A youthful French side blew Israel away in midweek, with Christopher Nkunku and Bradley Barcola both finding the net. The latter could be handed a start for his excellent performances this term.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid duo Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni are expected to play in the holding positions.
Possible Lineup
Mike Maignan (GK); Joules Kounde, Ibrahima Konate, William Saliba, Theo Hernandez, Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, Bradley Barcola, Michael Olise, Christopher Nkunku, Randal Kolo Muani
Belgium vs. France Prediction
A new-look France showed excellent promise in the final third in midweek, and that would be a worrying sign for Belgium due to their leaky defensive record.
It is hard to overlook the former world champions this week, despite being without Kylian Mbappe for the trip to Brussels.
