Zidane seeks first home win as France host Belgium
Zinedine Zidane’s fourth match in charge comes as France aim to beat Belgium at home; Italy face Turkey while other A, B and C games fill matchday four.
Eight matches across Leagues A, B and C of the Nations League take place today as the competition reaches matchday four.
In the headline fixture, France host Belgium at 20:45 as Zinedine Zidane prepares for his fourth game in charge of Les Bleus and seeks his first win on home soil. The French coach is aiming to build on recent form after a draw with Italy at Saint-Denis and an earlier away victory a few days ago.
Belgium arrive as a reshaped side that has shown it can spring surprises, so the hosts should not expect an easy night despite home advantage.
Italy — Turkey and the rest of the card
Italy appear to be finding momentum while Turkey sit on three defeats from three matches and are effectively on the brink of elimination from contention in this group. Roberto Mancini’s team will be hunting a second victory of the international window and a stronger performance against a Turkish side desperate for a positive result.
Below are the matchups scheduled for the evening in League A, followed by the B and C League fixtures.
- A League (20:45): France – Belgium; Italy – Turkey
- B League (20:45): Bosnia and Herzegovina – Poland; Romania – Sweden; Northern Ireland – Georgia; Ukraine – Hungary
- C League: Cyprus – Latvia (18:00); Montenegro – Armenia (20:45)
