Euro 2024: Spain vs France - Match Preview, Odds, Predictions

The UEFA Euro 2024 semi-final matchup pits France and Spain against one another. On Tuesday evening, the Allianz Arena in Munich will host the La Roja and Les Blues contest. 

Didier Deschamps' team only managed three goals in five matches, while Luis de la Fuente dominated the competition.

The European Championship finals have pitted France and Spain against each other four times. The 1996 Euro group stage match resulted in a draw, followed by France's 2-1 victory in the Euro 2000 quarter-final and Spain's 2-0 victory in the 2012 last eight. 

France won their first major championship in 1984 after a 2-0 final victory against Spain, with Michel Platini scoring a tournament record ninth goal. Scroll down to see today's prediction for Spain vs France.

Spain x France Team News

Real Madrid defender Daniel Carvajal will sit out this encounter in Munich as he serves a one-match ban for last weekend's late red card against Germany. 

A 27-year-old named Robin Le Normand will also serve a suspension at the Allianz Arena. On Friday evening, she was also shown what proved to be an expensive booking against the host country.

Nacho Fernandez, a seasoned defender who just completed a record-breaking transfer to Saudi Arabia, will start in defense for Spain again and earn his 28th cap in this match. 

Similarly, Dani Olmo of RB Leipzig may be given a complete recall after scoring in consecutive EURO 24 matches last week.

Even though Kylian Mbappe had to leave last weekend's match against Portugal due to a broken nose, the new superstar from Real Madrid will lead France's assault in Munich as they try to score their second goal of EURO 24.

Deschamps may fully return Juventus star Adrien Rabiot to start in the middle of the field on Friday night as he serves a one-match ban.

The youthful William Saliba of Arsenal will team up with Dayot Upamecano of Bayern Munich to form a fantastic defensive combo. Inter Milan player Marcus Thuram, who battled for a starting role last weekend against Portugal, might start in place of Randal Kolo Muani.

Head To Head And Previous Matches

The Spanish national team has been nothing short of spectacular this summer, earning a slew of praise after a dramatic last-second goal propelled them to a 2-1 victory against Germany on Friday night. 

Luis de la Fuente's squad is riding high on their success last summer when they won the Nation League title. 

Everyone in Spain is euphoric because, as we will see in the coming week, many predict that the European giants will be the top championship contenders. 

The tournament kicked off on June 15 with a 3-0 thrashing of Croatia, the bronze medalists from the World Cup. La Roja have won their last seven matches in a row in all competitions. 

Spain, which has flourished under de la Fuente's tutelage and is known for its free-flowing style, will undoubtedly enjoy Tuesday night's match in Munich.

While Didier Deschamps' France squad is still trying to find their groove, the national team may have started the European Championships this summer as the clear favorite to win the championship. 

But the previous world champions still have a terrifying reputation and have taken down some heavyweights; last weekend, they beat Portugal in a penalty shootout. 

France needs a clinical advantage in the final third after opening their knockout round journey with a thrilling late 1-0 victory against Belgium. 

What a remarkable summer it has been for Deschamps' elite squad—they have not scored a single goal from open play. But Les Bleus have shown a lot of defensive grit since they arrived in Germany; in their last seven matches across all competitions, they have allowed just one goal.

Our Prediction

Spain to win @2.62 on Sky247.ng

Spain has only suffered two losses in their previous eight encounters with France. I am anticipating that they will secure another victory on Tuesday. Additionally, I predict a 1-0 outcome. It is the most probable result, given France's goal-scoring woes and Spain's narrow escape from elimination against Germany.

Under 2.5 goals @ 1.52 on Sky247.ng

As two European superstars square off, the Allianz will undoubtedly be the center of attention on Tuesday night. We could be in for another nail-biter in Munich, even if France and Spain both have a slew of impressive superstars at their disposal. 

Despite Les Bleus's astonishing goal-scoring drought this summer, the defending champions have kept a clean sheet in six of their last seven matches across all competitions. We anticipate a similar ending to our prediction for today since seven of the past eight matches between Tuesday's semi-finalists have finished with under 2.5 goals.
