France vs Spain Predictions, Picks & Odds – 14/07/2026
France vs Spain Preview
France have been nothing short of sensational at this World Cup, storming through six matches with a perfect record and 16 goals scored. Kylian Mbappé has been the tournament's most devastating attacker with eight goals, though Didier Deschamps played down a minor ankle concern ahead of this semi-final. Playing on Bastille Day adds emotional weight. Les Bleus are chasing a third consecutive World Cup semi-final, a distinction only Brazil and Germany have previously managed.
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 dispatched Belgium in the quarter-finals and the coach pointed to their Euro 2024 semi-final victory over France as a source of genuine confidence. Midfield depth has been a quiet strength, with Fabian Ruiz and Pedri rotating seamlessly. De la Fuente expressed high expectations, firmly believing Spain can topple the tournament favourites.
France's double chance (home win or draw) represents the smartest angle into this semi-final. Les Bleus carry a flawless six-win record into Dallas, with five of those victories coming by multiple goals. Mbappé's eight-goal haul makes him the tournament's most dangerous attacker, and the home win price at 2.32 reflects their status as slight favourites.
Spain's 36-match unbeaten streak is historically impressive, yet nine draws within that run reveal a team that does not always find a way to win. France have recent painful memory of their Euro 2024 semi-final defeat to La Roja, providing extra motivation. Playing on Bastille Day adds a layer of national significance that Deschamps and his squad will channel.
The value sits in backing France to avoid defeat rather than picking an outright winner. Spain's resilience makes a draw a realistic outcome, and covering both results offers a 58% confidence edge. With Mbappé's ankle concern downplayed by Deschamps, expect Les Bleus to be at full strength for this blockbuster clash at 2.32.
