Spain vs France: Euro 2024 Semifinal Betting Tips
Spain will enter their UEFA Euro 2024 semifinal encounter against France on Tuesday in Munich fully confident of progressing to their first final since they lifted the trophy in 2012, especially considering their outstanding record under manager Luis de la Fuente.
Since the start of 2023, La Roja have won 79% of their matches with de la Fuente in the dugout, and Friday’s victory over Germany extended their winning run to seven consecutive matches – their best run since the golden period between June 2009 and June 2010.
France, on the other hand, arrived at the tournament as the second favourites but so far have struggled to find their footing. Les Bleus have limped into the last four and will need to show significant improvement to stand a chance against this electric Spanish side.
Their penalty-shootout victory over Portugal, following a lacklustre goalless draw, highlighted their ongoing difficulties in open play. In fact, Didier Deschamps’ side have yet to score a goal from open play in the tournament, with two of their three goals being own goals. While their attack has been very underwhelming, France’s defence has been excellent. However, their backline will face its toughest challenge yet against a Spanish attack that leads the tournament in expected goals (10.3 xG).
It will be interesting to see how both sides set up tactically, with the wide areas likely to be a key battleground. With France likely to target Spain’s flanks in attack, Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella could be a strong shout for a yellow card. Cucurella’s ten bookings in the Premier League last season suggest his defensive discipline will be tested against the pacey trickery of Ousmane Dembele.
Cucurella to receive a yellow card comes at a hefty 4.20 odds on Betbonanza.
Betting Tip: Spain to Qualify
09/07 20:00 Spain – France Spain to Qualify @ 1.80 (Betbonanza)
France may be France, with their outstanding talent and experience, but we’re predicting Spain will be the team progressing to the Euro 2024 final on Tuesday.
La Roja have been phenomenal this tournament. They’re scoring goals for fun, but just as importantly, their defence has been pretty solid. France, on the other hand, simply can’t score. That’s a huge problem, considering they’ll likely need to score to beat this Spanish side, who have the firepower to break through their usually strong defence.
Considering Spain’s impressive winning streak, their well-oiled play, and attacking prowess, combined with France’s struggles to score, we believe La Roja have the edge to reach the final.
Therefore, we recommend betting on Spain to qualify for the final at 1.80 odds on Betbonanza.
