France have won the last five meetings and Mbappé has 11 goals in his last 10 games, giving the visitors a true finisher. Belgium just blanked Italy away, win most of their home matches and almost never drop points after leading, so the draw is very much alive. If France concede first, their recent away record when trailing is grim. Slight lean to a narrow France win.

Model insight
Belgium opened with a 2-0 away win and have won 7 of their last 10 home matches, but France have won all of the last five head-to-head meetings and Mbappe has 11 goals in his last 10 games, 45% of the team's total output. Belgium tend to trade blows early with nine of their last ten games seeing first-half goals, yet France have lost every recent away match in which they fell behind, so a narrow France win or a draw looks most likely.
