Preview for France vs. Spain
With a coveted spot in the World Cup final on the line, both powerhouse nations will be battling under the watch of head referee Ivan Arcides Barton Cisneros.
| Bet Type | France | Draw | Spain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moneyline | +140 | +205 | +220 |
| Total Goals | O2.5 (-105) | U2.5 (-115) |
My pre-match probability models give a slight edge to the French. France currently holds a 39.8% chance of winning in regulation. Spain possesses a 30.5% probability for a victory in 90 minutes, while a draw—which would take us into extra time—sits at a 29.7% probability.
When handicapping this fixture, we have to look at their recent head-to-head history. Spain managed to secure a narrow 2-1 victory over France in their last meeting during the UEFA Euro playoffs on July 9, 2024, at the Allianz Arena in Munich. I am expecting France to come out with everything they have, looking to exact revenge and turn the tables on the grandest stage in international soccer.
England-Argentina and Golden Boot Race
You’ll be in a great spot to bet on the other semifinal matchup on Wednesday between England and Argentina. England is the favorite to qualify for the title game at -135, while Lionel Messi and Argentina sit at +110 to advance.
Think you know who will end up with the Golden Boot? Take this time to get in your future bets:
- Kylian Mbappe: −120
- Lionel Messi: +140
- Harry Kane: +1100
- Jude Bellingham: +1400
- Ousmane Dembele: +6500
- Mikel Oyarzabal: +10000
