Spain vs France: UEFA European Championship Analysis and Prediction
@bookmakersSpain
The Spain national team found itself in a challenging group alongside Italy, Croatia, and Albania, where a playoff spot was not guaranteed. However, Luis de la Fuente's team resolved much of this in their first match by thrashing Croatia 3-0. A hard-fought 1-0 victory over Italy in the second round secured Spain an early playoff berth, and they also narrowly defeated Albania.
Finishing first in the group allowed them to face Georgia, one of the group stage's biggest surprises, in the Round of 16. Despite conceding first, Spain had no trouble scoring four goals against the Georgians. The quarterfinal against Germany was much tougher, ending 1-1 in regular time, but a goal from Mikel Merino in extra time sent "La Roja" to the semifinals.
France
Unlike their opponent today, France didn't manage a perfect group stage despite being clear favorites. After a 1-0 win over Austria in the first round, Didier Deschamps' team played it safe and drew 0-0 with the Netherlands. A 1-1 draw with Poland left "Les Bleus" finishing second in the group.
In the Round of 16, France faced Belgium, who put up a solid resistance but didn't take many risks, allowing France to find and convert a late opportunity to secure a quarterfinal spot. The match against Portugal couldn't be decided in regular time, as the Portuguese were more cautious in defense, but France advanced on penalties despite not playing their best game.
Prediction
Spain holds the edge in this matchup. Although they will miss several key players—Carvajal and Le Normand due to suspensions and Pedri due to injury—they still boast a very high level of play. France, while strong, has some questions regarding their playing style under Deschamps. Spain can exploit their opponent's weaknesses.
