Griezmann is not as important for France as Carvajal is for Spain. Jesus is certainly a good player but he cannot replace Carvajal and Mbappe will certainly have an easier game. Nevertheless, I believe that Spain will play better and reach the final and France will finish the tournament here.

For me, France has simply been too weak in all of its games so far and Spain has played well in general.

France vs Spain


🇫🇷 France: Maignan - Koundé, Upamecano, Saliba, Hernandez - Tchouaméni, Kanté, Rabiot - Dembélé, Kolo Muani, Mbappé.

🇪🇸 Spain: Unai Simon, Jesus Navas, Nacho, Laporte, Cucurella, Rodri, Fabian Ruiz, Olmo, Yamal, Williams, Morata.

Now we go again with the Semi final match between France and Spain which is going to be an incredible moment for us to watch, Spain have started with incredible and excellent performance since the beginning of the tournament and up to now they still maintain the form, Among both of them I give applause to Spain because they never give their fans doubt of winning and I still believe that Spain will not fail them, while France are just moving but surprisingly giving their fan hypertension all the time, let see who is going home tonight.

Every clubs have their own analysis, but is only fews of people's that It will hard to guess who win because I don't think France has long experience like Spain and the pattern of game that spin are playing in every teams that they meet is far differ from France, so in this case Spain will not fail any challenges in this match tonight they find the game very easily to win, because the team has better squad.
France has the best best midfielders doesn't mean that it will prevent from them, remember that the Spain have a great players in the front that it will be hard attack them, because there always working with experience. But nevertheless let wait and what France can able to do against Spain tonight.

Even bookmakers can not yet determine the favorite of this pair. The odds for Spain are a little less than 2.8 against 3.2 for France, but the gap is too small to say that Spain is the favorite in this match.

Today Spain will have Jesus Navas, who became world champion in 2010 and he should replace Carvajal, but France will not have Griezmann, although before this match Griezmann was not very stable at this tournament, as well as Mbappe, who apparently has not yet gained the necessary form.

I would like more goals in this game, but I am afraid that France will park the bus and try to exhaust the strength of the players of the national team, and the French will wait for their chance in counterattacks.

Seeing how the composition of the French line-up is not their shortcoming, but it is clear in the opportunities in the previous match that many wasted opportunities exist, one mistake can indeed make it fatal but rest assured they will play and do not want to make mistakes.

It could be that this match ends in a penalty shootout so far EURO is a lot with a thin score and ends with extra time.

Perhaps the best odds have Spain qualifying or vice versa.

I don't think either team will play defensively in this match. Because I have seen the overall performance of these two teams in the quarter finals as well. The teams did not play defensively.

Spain has a solid team. The bonding between the players is good. At the same time, the team's match strategy is also excellent. So we see a better performance from Spain in every match of this year's Euro. On the other hand, I would not say that France's overall performance is poor. However, I am not satisfied with the performance of France's attacking players. Griezmann and Mbappe will need to perform well today if France want  to win against Spain.

It’s scary to bet against France, even though Spain is playing better now, although I can’t blame France for a bad game, they keep the ball well, they create chances, so far they’re not very good with goals scored, but that can change anytime match. It seems to me that when such strong teams play, it is difficult to determine the winner, everything can be decided by some chance, one mistake...

The strong defense could be damaged if Spain's tiki-taka game with short ball games is managed to maintain them throughout the match. Apart from the two things between France's strong defense and Spain's good attack, you can be sure that this match will be played carefully. Both of them will play carefully so as not to make the slightest mistake that could cause them to lose.

Less than 45 minutes to go for the first (and probably the toughest) semi-final, between Spain and France. According to SkyBet, at this point Spain are the favorites to lift the trophy, with odds of 15/8. Don't forget the fact that they managed to defeat Germany in the quarter finals. Behind them are England at 5/2. They have performed decently so far, but don't forget the tragedy during last edition's Euro final. Then we have France at 5/2 and at the bottom we have the Dutch at 9/2.

If you consider France to be one of the national teams with the strongest defense then I think that is justified. Because if you pay attention to the results of all the matches that have been played by the French national team since the group stage, round of 16 and also in the quarter-finals, you can see that France has only conceded 1 goal, namely in the group stage against Poland. And after that France never conceded a single goal again in normal match time. So I think I also have to agree that France is considered one of the national teams with the best defense. It's just that France is not very productive in scoring goals. This is different from Spain, which is very good at scoring goals. So far Spain has scored 11 goals at this Euro. And only conceded 2 goals. Meanwhile, France only scored 3 goals in all the matches played at this Euro. And yes there seems to be a clear difference between Spain and France. it's just that the similarity is in their defense which seems to be equally strong. Meanwhile, in terms of the level of accuracy in completing attacks, it feels like Spain is much more reliable. Maybe I should also favor Spain in this match.

I totally agree with you, for me France is a very good team, but I think Mbappé has to partner with another striker. If Deschamps does not change his formation, I think they will lose, and badly, because Spain is very well integrated. In fact, if this Spain of now had been in Qatar, I think they would have even been able to compete in the final, but the incompetence of Luis Enrique meant that this team did not give its best. For me Spain is at a much higher level as a team. For France to beat them I see it as extremely difficult.

Even though France has great players in their attack line, I actually think France is the team that has the strongest defense and not the team that has the strongest attack. And on the other hand, I prefer to consider Spain as the team with the strongest attack. Even though Spain's defense is actually just as strong. but France seems to have more value in their defense. A fierce match will really happen. And I would likely prefer to bet on Spain winning. because they are the most reliable team at this Euro. I am always satisfied with their performance in every match they have played at this Euro.

Today I'm going to place a single bet on Spain qualifying, with odds paying 1.82

From everything they've shown so far, Spain look stronger, better prepared and with more resources to win the Euro (and this match of course)
France can always decide the game with some great play from Mbapee, but from what they've played so far, I'm more inclined to bet on Spain

Deschamps has to find a very good solution today to make France play better and maybe score a few goals, because it's proving very difficult in this Euro

Hopefully Carvajal's absence won't affect the backline, he's an important full-back when Carvajal is out due to card accumulation.

In terms of odds, Spain is favored less, it could be that this match will end in a draw because most big teams meet with the equivalent that always ends in a draw in 90 minutes, here we cannot guess with certainty that Spain is still favored.

Pedri is missing due to injury, but Olmo is clearly decisive for the previous winning goal with Germany means in this case there is no big influence for Spain.

In as much as we know that Spain is more informed in this match than France, we also will not underrate the ability of France in this Euro 2024. Why I say so is because France has so many good players that can come up for the country in a crucial moment like this. Apart from the likes of dembélé, we have starman like mbappé who has the ability to win a final for any team. So the addition of mbappé in the France team is a big head up for them in this competition. So this will be a very tough contest between Spain and France. Just like others I wish Spain will scale through because of their consistency from the beginning of this competition, but we should not be surprised if the table turns the other way around.

France actually also has a fairly high level of teamwork. It's just that in the final solution they really depended too much on one player. So the problems that France has are always in the process of being finalized. This is different from Spain which prioritizes cooperation and equal distribution of power. And to be honest I think Spain is much more solid than France. So I feel that Spain will advance to the final by beating France by a narrow score. France actually also has a fairly strong defense. And Spain must be able to overcome this. but I believe that with the performance of the Spanish squad they will be able to penetrate the defense built by France.

If you look at the journey of the two teams so far, I think it's easy for us to guess who will win today and reach the final round, Spain and France are two big teams and big powers in football, but don't they both currently have very difference performances? Spain was able to perform quite consistently throughout the euro, while France had to struggle to qualify for the semifinals and tended to qualify because of luck after many own goals from their opponents were a factor in their victory.

Spain is very naturally favored to win today considering their very impressive journey towards the semifinals, in fact so far Spain is the most aggressive team in terms of attacks and also the most productive in terms of scoring goals, although today Spain will lose Pedri, Dany Carvajal and also Robin Le Normand, but we cannot deny that Spain still has many other players who can be relied on to fill the positions they are currently leaving, I think Navas will probably replace the position left by Carvajal in the match, while Olmo will be trusted again to replacing Pedri in center line, as well as Robin Le Normand position which will most likely be occupied by a senior player, namely Nacho Fernandez, so I think losing these three players will not make much difference in today Spanish squad.

the thing about this match is that you can't just analyze the outcome of the match from an individual point of view. The issue with the France team is that they rely too much on mbape as the play maker to dictate the game and that's why if he's not in his best form in any game or is having deficulty scoring goals, it's deficult to see another figure stepping up to the big occasion and that's where Spain obviously has an edge over them. For the Spain national team, there are multiple of options you can expect to see goals from and so you can't talk about caging the team by singling out a player. If France wins this match, it's going to be that Spain came in win hard luck if not by reason of the individual performance each of the team have put out, this is certainly going in favour of the Spain side.

In terms of match statistics and goals too, Spain is more favored they have a lot of goals so far this tournament which is greater Spain overthrew Germany without a penalty shootout.
Although what you mentioned is true where France is like luck because their goals are mostly from suicides of opposing players even so I will not underestimate France they still have great players who can score goals at any time.
Now it's just a matter of waiting for the two big teams to face off in the semifinals.

Every is suggesting Spain as a more stronger team and this is being reflected when we see the odds for this match. We get 2.75 for spain and 3.05 for France at stake.com.
Also when you google the match, the win probability for Spain is a bit more than France but not by far. An initial lead by any of the team can change the odds pretty quickly.
I would not underestimate France and also Kylian Mbappé is a big match player and we never know if we can see some greatest shots on goal by this gentleman.
