Spain vs France predictions

Spain were twice the price of 4-1 shots France in the Euro 2024 ante-post market but La Roja go into Tuesday's semi-final clash with Les Bleus as clear favourites to lift the trophy.

That dramatic turnaround in the betting is testament to the contrasting styles in which the teams have reached the last four.

Spain won all five of their matches, beating Croatia, Italy and Albania to nil in Group B before a swashbuckling 4-1 victory against Georgia in the round of 16.

Mikel Merino's 119th-minute header earned them a dramatic 2-1 extra-time win over hosts Germany in Friday's first quarter-final and Luis de la Fuente's men had to dig deep in that tie.

Barcelona midfielder Pedri suffered a tournament-ending knee injury inside the first ten minutes and, having taken the lead through his replacement Dani Olmo, Spain conceded an 89th-minute equaliser to the delight of the home crowd.

A fascinating clash of styles is expected when they face a French side who have reached the semis despite scoring only three goals in five matches.

France's attacking play has been almost as fragmented as the political landscape at home and none of their players, whether left-wingers, right-wingers or centrists, has scored from open play at this tournament.

Their Group D win over Austria and last-16 success against Belgium were sealed by own goals from opposition defenders and Kylian Mbappe converted a penalty in a 1-1 group-stage draw with Poland.

On the bright side for France, the only goal they have conceded was a retaken spot-kick by Poland's Robert Lewandowski, although they benefited from a controversial VAR decision which ruled out a Xavi Simons strike for the Netherlands.

Goalkeeper Mike Maignan and Arsenal centre-back William Saliba have enhanced their reputations but coach Didier Deschamps is still searching for fluency in midfield and attack.

Spain have also faced some tough tests on their way to the semis. They outclassed Group B rivals Croatia and Italy, who are both in the top ten of the Fifa rankings, and had to come from behind to thump Georgia in the last 16 before eliminating Germany.

Their quarter-final victory came at a price as Pedri is injured and defenders Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand are suspended for the France game.

Those enforced changes, coupled with France's defensive solidity, suggest that backing the draw in 90 minutes may be the best approach.

Spain's midfield might and the brilliance of young wingers Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams are major issues for France to combat.

However, La Roja allowed Germany's forwards some good chances on Friday and France, despite their lack of goals, have racked up 89 shots at the tournament – a higher tally than any team bar Spain and Germany and 32 more than second-favourites England have mustered.

Four of France's last six matches have been draws in 90 minutes
