France vs Spain Preview
France have been nothing short of devastating in this World Cup, storming through six matches with a perfect record and 16 goals scored. Kylian Mbappé, despite a minor ankle concern that Didier Deschamps has played down, has been the tournament's most lethal attacker with eight strikes. Playing on Bastille Day for a place in the final adds a powerful emotional dimension to their campaign.
Spain arrive in Dallas riding a remarkable 36-match unbeaten streak stretching back to March 2024. Coach Luis de la Fuente has drawn confidence from their Euro 2024 semi-final victory over France, rotating his midfield options shrewdly throughout the tournament. Their quarter-final triumph over Belgium extended that record run, and the depth of their squad, from Pedri to Fabián Ruiz, gives De la Fuente tactical flexibility few other managers enjoy.
France's dominance throughout this tournament makes the home win at 2.33 a tempting proposition, but Spain's record-breaking 36-match unbeaten streak demands respect. Les Bleus have won all six matches so far, five of those by multiple goals, yet La Roja have not tasted defeat since March 2024. A double chance covering France or the draw offers a safer route into this blockbuster semi-final.
The tactical battle between Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal adds a fascinating layer. Mbappé has eight goals in the tournament despite carrying a minor ankle knock that Deschamps has played down. Spain, meanwhile, showed tactical flexibility in the quarter-final by starting Fabian Ruiz ahead of Pedri. Both sides possess the quality to score, making 1.77 worth serious consideration alongside the primary selection.
Spain's Euro 2024 semi-final victory over France will provide psychological fuel for De la Fuente's squad, though this French side looks more ruthless than the version that fell in Germany. The 1X selection, anchored by the home win price at 2.33, reflects France's slight edge as the more clinical outfit while acknowledging that Spain's resilience could easily produce a draw. Under 1.93 also merits attention given the stakes involved.
