Head to Head


Spain hold a 16-13 lead against France in 36 previous encounters. There have been seven draws.

Spain Form


Spain were the only team to win all three group games at Euro 2024 and did it without conceding a goal. They beat Croatia 3-0 with Alvaro Morata, Fabian Ruiz and Dani Carvajal scoring in the first half.

Luis de la Fuente’s side dominated Italy, winning 1-0 despite having 9-1 shots on target. Fuente rested his star players against Albania, Ferran Torres’ early goal securing a 1-0 victory.

La Roja fell behind early against Georgia in the Round of 16. They came home strong and ended with 35-4 shots, Rodri equalising before the break alongside second half goals to Fabian Ruiz, Nico Williams and Dani Olmo. 

Spain were involved in a thrilling semi-final against Germany, getting through 2-1 in extra time. Dani Olmo opened the scoring, they conceded in the 89th minute before Mikel Merino’s dramatic 119th minute winner.

Spain Squad & Team News


Goalkeepers: David Raya, Alex Remiro, Unai Simón
Defenders: Dani Carvajal, Robin Le Normand, Nacho, Daniel Vivian, Alex Grimaldo, Aymeric Laporte, Jesús Navas, Marc Cucurella
Midfielders: Mikel Merino, Fabisn Ruiz, Dani Olmo, Alex Baena, Rodri, Martín Zubimendi, Pedri, Fermín Lopez
Forwards: Alvaro Morata, Joselu, Ferran Torres, Nico Williams, Lamine Yamal, Mikel Oyarzabal, Ayoze Pérez

Kepa Arrizabalaga, Marcos Llorente and Gerard Moreno missed out.

Jose Gaya, Alejandro Balde, Marco Asensio and Yeremy Pino are injured.

Pedri suffered a knee injury against Germany and is unlikely to feature against France, Dani Olmo set to start.

Robin Le Normand and Dani Carvajal are suspended which should see Nacho and Jesus Navas come into the back four.

Alvaro Morata has scored 36 goals in 78 appearances, Ferran Torres with 20 goals in 45 internationals.

France Form


France started Euro 2024 with a 1-0 win against Austria thanks to an own goal. Kylian Mbappé broke his nose in the victory and didn’t feature in a 0-0 draw against Netherlands.

Didier Deschamps’ side drew 1-1 against Poland in their final group game to surrender top spot. Mbappé opened the scoring from the penalty spot before they conceded a late penalty.

Les Bleus got past Belgium 1-0 in the Round of 16. They had 19-5 shots but just two of those on target, an 85th minute own goal sending them through.

France went all the way against Portugal in the quarter-finals. It was a close game with clear cut chances hard to come by, winning the penalty shootout after converting all five spot kicks.

France Squad & Team News


Goalkeepers: Brice Samba, Mike Maignan, Alphonse Areola
Defenders: Benjamin Pavard, Ferland Mendy, Dayot Upamecano, Jules Koundé, William Saliba, Jonathan Clauss, Théo Hernandez, Ibrahima Konaté
Midfielders: Eduardo Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouaméni, N'Golo Kanté, Adrien Rabiot, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Youssouf Fofana
Forwards: Antoine Griezmann, Olivier Giroud, Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, Randal Kolo Muani, Marcus Thuram, Kingsley Coman, Bradley Barcola

Lucas Hernandez, Matteo Guendouzi and Moussa Diaby missed out after being called up in March.

Midfielder Adrien Rabiot returns from suspension and is set to replace Eduardo Camavinga.

Kylian Mbappé has scored 48 goals in 83 appearances, Olivier Giroud with 57 goals in 136 internationals and Antoine Griezmann with 44 goals in 134 internationals.

Verdict

Spain have scored 11 goals at Euro 2024 where France have scored once from open play. I think form and momentum is with La Roja who can win and reach the final.
