PARIS (Reuters) - France's strength in depth makes them the favourites for this week's Davis Cup final against Belgium, who will need David Goffin to be at his very best to stand a chance in the three-day showdown in Lille.

Belgium, seeking their first title, will be led by world number seven Goffin, who beat Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer at the ATP Finals last week, but nine-time champions France seem better armed.
