France vs Spain Preview
France have been nothing short of imperious in this tournament, winning all six matches with five multi-goal victories and 16 goals scored. Kylian Mbappé, who has netted eight times, is nursing a minor ankle knock, though Didier Deschamps has played down any fitness concerns over his captain. Les Bleus will take the pitch on Bastille Day, chasing a third consecutive World Cup semi-final and a place in the final.
Spain arrive in Dallas riding a remarkable 36-match unbeaten streak stretching back to March 2024, a new team record comprising 27 wins and nine draws. Luis de la Fuente's side drew confidence from their Euro 2024 semi-final victory over France and have rotated shrewdly throughout the tournament, with Fabián Ruiz starting ahead of Pedri in the quarter-final win over Belgium. The depth and tactical flexibility at De la Fuente's disposal make Spain formidable opponents.
The double chance backing France to win or draw represents the strongest value play in this semi-final. Les Bleus carry a perfect record of six wins from six into this fixture, and the bookmakers price them as slight favourites at 2.30. Kylian Mbappé has been devastating with eight goals, and Didier Deschamps has confirmed his captain's minor ankle concern will not keep him out.
Spain's 36-match unbeaten streak demands respect, yet their route has included nine draws during that remarkable run. France possess the firepower and defensive solidity to contain a Spanish side that, for all their consistency, have not faced an opponent this clinical in the tournament. The pricing at 3.30 further supports the double chance angle, covering any scenario where Spain fail to win outright.
Both sides have scored freely, making 1.67 an appealing secondary selection. France conceded in their quarter-final despite their dominance, and Spain's attacking depth through Lamine Yamal and rotating midfield options ensures they will create chances. With Bastille Day adding emotional fuel for France, expect a fiercely contested encounter where Les Bleus avoid defeat.
