FRANCE vs SPAIN [1-2] LIVE UPDATE

Euro 2024 Semifinals Clash: Spain vs. France
The highly anticipated Euro 2024 semifinal between Spain and France promises to be a thrilling encounter, given the history and form of both teams. Here's an in-depth look at what to expect:
Head-to-Head Performance
Spain and France have met seven times in competitive fixtures, with both teams having identical records: three wins each and one draw. This balanced history adds an extra layer of excitement to their upcoming clash.
Euro Tournament Experience
Spain boasts a rich history in the Euro tournament, having won it three times (1964, 2008, 2012) and appeared in four finals, making them joint-highest winners alongside Germany. France, on the other hand, has won the competition twice (1984, 2000) and aims to clinch a third title to match Spain and Germany's records. Notably, France's last Euro victory was 24 years ago.
World Cup Triumphs
Both nations have tasted success on the global stage. Spain won the World Cup in 2010 in South Africa, while France has lifted the trophy twice (1998 as hosts and 2018 in Russia). Currently, France is ranked 2nd in the world by FIFA, while Spain sits at 8th.
Recent Form
Spain comes into the semifinal on a stellar run, winning all five of their Euro 2024 matches. Their victories include:
- 3-0 against Croatia
- 1-0 against Italy
- 1-0 against Albania
- 4-1 against Georgia
- 2-1 against hosts Germany
France, despite being unbeaten, has had a mix of wins and draws:
- 1-0 win against Austria
- 0-0 draw against the Netherlands
- 1-1 draw against Poland
- 1-0 win against Belgium
- 0-0 draw against Portugal (won 5-3 on penalties in the quarterfinals)
Goal Statistics
Spain has been prolific, scoring 11 goals and conceding only twice in the tournament. In contrast, France has managed just three goals, with two being own goals and one a penalty. Remarkably, France hasn't scored from open play in Euro 2024, yet their solid defense and tactical acumen have propelled them to the semifinals.
Young Talent vs. Experienced Stars
Spain's squad features some of the youngest talents in the competition, including:
- Lamine Yamal (16, Barcelona)
- Pedri (21, Barcelona)
- Nico Williams (21, Atletico Madrid)
France counters with seasoned stars such as:
- Kylian Mbappe, a former Ballon d'Or runner-up
- Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid)
- N'Golo Kante (Ittihad, Saudi Arabia)
- Ousmane Dembele (PSG)
Tactical Battle
Spain's youthful exuberance and fluid playing style will be tested against France's experienced and tactically disciplined squad, led by coach Didier Deschamps. Deschamps, who guided France to World Cup glory in 2018 and a UEFA Nations League title, is known for his strategic prowess.
Prediction
Given the form and talent on display, I predict a narrow win for Spain with possible scorelines of 2-0, 1-0, or 2-1. However, France's experience and Deschamps' tactical acumen mean they cannot be written off. An upset victory for France wouldn't be surprising.
