SF Match 1 Preview ☝️

#11 France v #3 Spain- Saturday, 2p cst - Dallas

This AI Graphic kinda sucks (first row - Pedri, Yamal, Rodri second row - Dembele, Mbappe, Olise)

FRANCE: 2x WC Champs, 2x European Champs.

SPAIN: 1c WC Champs, 4X European Champs.

Immoveable object v unstoppable force. Spain have allowed 1 goal this WC, France 2. France has scored 16 goals, Spain 11.

In the most recent 6 competitive matches - 2000 thru 2025 - just one time did a team not score and just one time was the total goals under 2.5. 3 Wins for both France and Spain.

In the history of the WC, France and Spain have only met one time - 3-1 to France in 2006.

France have the talent edge, in fact, there are maybe 2 or 3 players who start for Spain that would start for France. When you think of Spain only allowing one goal, and that their defense must be great, maybe think again. Yes, their defense is really good but Spain typically controls possession limiting their opponents’ chances. France will look to physically disrupt Spains rhythm and limit their possession, which then would allow France’s strong attack to create a lot of chances. Spain will look to control possession with their midfield, and play keep away from France’s 4 attacking first players.

CS Prediction - France are able to wrestle enough possession away from Spain and create enough chances to score more than one goal. France 2-1.
