Spain vs France Predictions

• Spain have won six of their last seven matches.
• Spain have only lost two of their last eight meetings with France.
• France are yet to score a goal from open play in Euro 2024.

La Roja the team to beat

Spain showed a measure of grit and determination to come through a physical and scrappy confrontation with host nation Germany, and considering their performances so far they look well-priced to beat a struggling France in Munich on Tuesday.

La Roja were the better of the two sides in the first half on Friday and took a deserved lead in the second half, and they were within minutes of claiming a win inside the 90 minutes before finally succumbing to the barrage of German pressure.

Still, Luis de la Fuente’s side recovered from this setback well in extra time, and it is clear they are the team to beat at Euro 2024.

Les Bleus not at their best

France, who entered the tournament as second favourites, are yet to find their rhythm and will need to show big signs of improvement if they are to go toe-to-toe with this Spain side.

Their penalty-shootout win over Portugal, which followed a turgid goalless draw, means they are yet to score a goal from open play this tournament, and two of their three strikes have been own goals.

Admittedly, their defence has proved excellent so far, but on Tuesday they face a Spain side that have generated a tournament-high 10.3 expected goals so far, so Didier Deschamps’ back line will be tested to their limit in Munich.

Yamal to open his account in Munich

Spain have only lost two of their last eight meetings with France, and I’m backing them to win again on Tuesday, while a 1-0 correct score prediction also appeals. France have struggled to find the net and Spain were moments away from a third 1-0 win of the tournament against Germany, so that looks the most likely outcome.

Anytime goalscorer punters should consider teenage sensation Lamine Yamal. The 16-year-old has three assists in Euro 2024 but has a squad-high 1.6 expected goals. He has eight goal contributions in his last ten starts for club and country and he can strike a blow to French hearts on Tuesday.
