Spain vs France Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | UEFA Euro 2024 semi-final

The heavyweights will not look to leave an inch of space when they lock horns at the iconic Allianz Arena.

Spain football team are running on hot form in the ongoing competition, having won all their group stage games and knock-out encounters in style. They dominated almost every game under the tactical brilliance of Luis de la Fuente, scoring 11 goals in total while facing just two in five games. They beat Germany in the last game with a last-minute goal from Mikel Merino.

Didier Deschamps with his star-studded French side are also unbeaten in this competition, having won three while drawing two games. The team beat Portugal in penalty shootouts in a dramatic quarter-final to reach this stage. Les Bleus have maintained a strong defensive hold but they need to look better in attack, having scored no goals through open play.

Kick-Off:

Tuesday, 9 July 2024 at 8 PM UK

Wednesday, 10 July 2024 at 12:30 AM IST

Location: Allianz Arena, Munich, Germany

Form:

Spain (in all competitions): W-W-W-W-W

France (in all competitions): W-W-D-D-W

Players to Watch:

Lamine Yamal (Spain)

At just sixteen years of age, Yamal is already making headlines. His electric pace, magical skills, assist-giving nature and scoring abilities have started to lure everyone. The teenager is having a magnificent Euro 2024 too.

The teenager is currently the highest assist provider in Euro 2024. He provided an assist each against Croatia, Georgia and Germany. His solid form will be a boon for La Roja and might turn out to be a curse for France’s defenders.

N’Golo Kante (France)

The veteran CDM is still one of the best in the midfield. He has shown consistency in the ongoing Euro too. Having played in all five games, he has disposed off threats and constantly helped the defence. 

Kante’s role will be crucial to stop La Roja’s prolific passing football game. If he is able to operate freely and play error-free football, Spain’s build-up to goals will be highly hampered.
