Spain aims to stake their claim as Europe’s elite by lifting the Nations League trophy, but they face a formidable semi-final challenge against France tonight.
The Spanish squad, under the guidance of Luis de la Fuente, boasts an impressive 18-game unbeaten record. They managed to edge past the Netherlands in the quarter-finals, needing penalties to finalize a thrilling 5-5 aggregate scoreline.
On the other hand, France’s form has been a bit shaky. They, too, relied on spot-kicks to see off Croatia after staging a comeback from a 2-0 deficit in the first leg. Despite their inconsistencies, Les Bleus are packed with some of the world’s best talents, making this encounter a must-watch.
Spain vs France: Top Betting Tips
Spain previously defeated France 2-1 on their path to glory at Euro 2024 last summer, making them worthy 11/8 favorites with BoyleSports for a victory within 90 minutes.
This clash promises to be a goal-fest. The last two meetings between these teams, BTTS and over 2.5 goals came up consistently, along with the thrilling encounter against the Dutch in the last eight.
With odds for BTTS set at 5/6 from BoyleSports, a slight boost to 6/4 is available by combining with over 2.5 goals. A sweet deal for those looking for more value!
Kylian Mbappe is experiencing a bit of a drought at the international level, with his last goal for France coming almost a year ago during their Euro 2024 clash against Poland. However, he has been on fire at club level, netting an impressive 43 goals this past season at Real Madrid, including 10 in his last six games. At 2/1 with BoyleSports, he seems a lucrative bet for a goal, while Bet365 offers odds of 6/5 for over 1.5 shots on target.
Australia vs Japan: A World Cup Showdown
