The wait is nearly over for the fascinating Euro 2024 semi-final face-off between Spain and France on Tuesday. With the big incentive for the side that wins the tie being a date with the final, this really should be an exciting game of football.
SpainWWWWWW ✅
Spain fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being the 2-1 Euro 2024 success versus Germany.
In that match, Spain managed 49% possession and 18 shots at goal with 6 on target. For Spain, goals were scored by Dani Olmo (51') and Mikel Merino (119'). At the other end, Germany got 23 attempts on goal with 5 on target. Florian Wirtz (89') was the scorer for Germany. The match was won by Spain in extra time.
Spain haven’t had any problems with scoring, hitting the target in each and every one of their last 6 matches.
They have managed to rack up 16 during that period and have conceded a total of 3.
FranceDWDDWD 📈
In their last fixture, France drew 0-0 in the Euro 2024 match with Portugal.
In that game, France managed 40% possession and 19 shots at goal with 5 on target. Portugal had 14 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. After a tense 5-3 penalty shootout, France were victorious.
In 6 of the past 6 games featuring France, a notably low volume of goals have been hit between them and their opposition. The overall average goals scored per game in that spell is a meagre 0.67, with the number of goals averaged by Les Bleus being 0.5. We shall soon see if that trend will end up being continued on into this next match.
🤜🤛 Head to head
Looking over their most recent head-to-head meetings going back to 23/06/2012 tells us that Spain have won 3 of these games and France 2, with the number of drawn matches being 1.
A total of 11 goals were scored between the two sides throughout the course of those matches, with 7 of them from La Furia Roja and 4 for Les Bleus. That’s an average goals per game of 1.83.
ℹ️ Team News: Spain
We are thinking that La Furia Roja should kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match featuring Unai Simon, Jesus Navas, Nacho Fernandez, Aymeric Laporte, Marc Cucurella, Rodri, Fabian Ruiz, Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Nico Williams and Alvaro Morata.
📋 Team News: France
There’s a good chance that Les Bleus will likely elect for a 4-3-3 lineup, giving starts to Mike Maignan, Jules Kounde, Dayot Upamecano, William Saliba, Theo Hernandez, N'Golo Kante, Aurelien Tchouameni, Adrien Rabiot, Ousmane Dembele, Randal Kolo Muani and Kylian Mbappe.
💡 Prediction
It seems to us that France and Spain should both get enough opportunities to score, although it’s hard to separate the two.
Let’s see what happens, but it could well be that we end up with scores level. We’re therefore seeing a very close game with a score draw when all is said and done.
