France vs Spain Preview

What an absolute treat, as we have the world number one ranked side versus the world number two. Both teams are in incredible form, with France slightly ahead due to not allowing an opponent goal since the group stages.

Spain have not pulled any punches in the pre-game, with teen sensation Lamine Yamal saying that France should fear them in the semifinal.

If they can produce anything like the UEFA Nations League semifinal, we are in for a classic. That match in June last year, finished with 9 goals scored, Spain taking it 5-4!

The final before the final, with these two squads unlucky to have to meet before the big one.

It’s the first and third ranked nation for goals conceded for the World Cup, with a combined three goals getting past them. Making waves offensively it has been Mbappe, Dembele, Yamal and Oyarzabal getting all the headlines, which is common practise in football media. But give the defensive units their flowers because it has been exceptional defence, throughout.

The two front runners for the Golden Glove award are Maignan from France and Simon from Spain, with this game a heavy decider in the vote. Spain has the slight edge with one more clean sheet over the tournament. Both nations have the firepower to score at will, but I expect both teams to be very cagey defensively. I predict this to be a low scoring affair.

If France are to advance in regulation, it will be Golden Boot favourite Kylian Mbappe to shine through again.

He has had an extraordinary tournament, answering the French calls every single time they have been restricted. The Real Madrid superstar has made a habit of tearing this competition apart and this year is no exception.

Eight goals and three assists across six games, the most by any player. Add to that his World Cup qualification form, which included five goals and three assists over four games. An exceptional talent and a genuine threat from only a few metres inside his offensive half.

With so much firepower on the field, there is a reason the scoreless draw is paying $12.

These teams are impossible to split, both at the peak of their powers. The goal differentials of +14 France and +11 for Spain shows the dominance they have demonstrated to the world. Knockout matches can play out notoriously cagey and if neither team can break through in the first half, we may see both teams tighten up further in the second half. On the other hand, if either side does get the breakthrough early, it will force the other squad to open up.

Taking the draw at $3.15 is smarter money, but this is definitely worth a small dabble at great odds.
