Hot spot of the France - Belgium battle: Pogba and De Bruyne reunite with fate

Romelu Lukaku vs Raphael Varane

Varane is the leader of the French national team's defense. In addition to completing his defensive duties, Varane also makes up for the mistakes of his partner Samuel Umtiti.

Will Lukaku have trouble facing Varane?

Romelu Lukaku is in brilliant form for Belgium with 4 goals and 1 assist. However, facing Varane tonight, Lukaku's speed and strength will hardly be effective because the Real Madrid player is also a strong central defender.

Eden Hazard vs Benjamin Pavard

Pavard, who unexpectedly had the chance to replace the injured Djibril Sidibe, took advantage of the opportunity to take the starting position at right-back. The 22-year-old continued to perform well as he shone in the knockout stages, helping France defeat Argentina and Uruguay.

But tonight Pavard will have to face a huge challenge in the form of Eden Hazard – the world’s best attacking star at the moment. The captain of the Belgian team is still maintaining his top form at this World Cup with 2 goals and 2 assists. Pavard will have a very hard day at work if he wants to lock down the most dangerous explosive on the opponent’s side.

Paul Pogba vs De Bruyne

Both are top creative midfielders in the Premier League, and currently play for two rival teams in the same city, Man Utd and Man City. The competition between Pogba and De Bruyne will likely affect the outcome of the match because both are in charge of leading the play for their teams.

The remarkable competition between Pogba and De Bruyne.

Both Pogba and De Bruyne are highly regarded for their ability to pass, dribble, create chances, assist and score goals. The rivalry in the club colors will make the competition between these two players more attractive. Of course, both Pogba and De Bruyne do not want to lose in this battle.

Kylian Mbappe vs Jan Vertonghen

Vertonghen will have to face Kylian Mbappe head-to-head tonight. Perhaps the Belgian already knows how dangerous the 19-year-old is after seeing Argentina's Marcos Rojo and Diego Laxalt struggle to keep up with him.

With the speed of a Formula 1 racing car, combined with technique and skillful dribbling ability, Mbappe is like a "tornado" ready to sweep away any defense. However, Jan Vertonghen is also a top "tough" defender in the Premier League, so Mbappe will face many difficulties if the Belgian center-back plays solidly in the home field and closely follows this striker.
