The Belgians having created the small sensation of the group stage by dominating Italy among the men, we will be entitled to two France-Belgium this Thursday in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup!

An air of deja vu

This Thursday, we will be entitled to two confrontations between France and Belgium at the Dubai World Cup. A situation not at all unprecedented since it already produced last year, and at the same stage of the competition! It was during the European Championships in Marbella 2021.

In Andalusia, the French had been intractable, with two easy wins in the first two meetings, which had allowed them to impose themselves without batting an eyelid. This Thursday, Robin Haziza's players will still be quite big favorites against their Belgian neighbors. But given their delicate start to the competition, they will have to be 100% to avoid falling into a trap.

Among the men, on the other hand, it was much more complicated in Marbella, with a victory gained in the decisive match. If the players of Pablo Ayma remain favorites on paper, a big confrontation awaits them against a homogeneous team, which created the group stage surprise by dominating Italy. We therefore expect a very good battle between two nations that seem close in terms of level of play!
