The 2024 Euro Championship is coming to an end soon, as we are already going into the semi-finals. Spain will take on France in an exciting matchup this Tuesday. La Roja are tied for the most Euro titles (3), while Les Bleus have two trophies and will be looking to tie that record as well.
The other side of the draw has another exciting semi-final matchup between England and the Netherlands, so which two teams will reach the Euro 24 final?
| ℹ️ Tournament: | UEFA Euro Championship 2024, Semifinal |

According to the best European football bookmakers, Spain are the slight favorites at 2.70 (17/10). A draw is offered at 2.90 (19/10), while France will be the underdogs at 3.10 (21/10) to beat La Roja and reach the Euro 24 final.
This matchup has always been close and has been pretty much equal in the last few years, as in the last five head-to-head games, Spain won twice, drew once, and France won twice. Their last meeting was at the 2021 UEFA Nations League final, and Les Bleus won with goals from Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema.
Spain are behind England on the Euro Championship 2024 odds going into the semifinals, as they have been impressive throughout the tournament. La Roja knocked out the hosts, Germany, with a dramatic goal in the 119th minute in extra time, which was its 7th straight win. Spain are the only ones that won all of their games in this tournament, so they are coming into this semi-final with a lot of confidence.
Dani Olmo and Fabian Ruiz have been outstanding in this tournament so far, scoring two goals and two assists each. Daniel Carvajal and Robin Le Normand are both suspended for this game, so they might face some challenges to replace them in defense, while Pedri is doubtful with an injury.
France’s quarter-final matchup with Portugal was level after 90 minutes and extra time, and Les Bleus were more clinical in the end and won on an intense penalty shootout. They have been very poor offensively in this tournament, as they are still without an open-play goal after five matches. France will be looking to win their first Euro in 24 years, but they will have to beat two of the best teams in the world to do so.
Kylian Mbappe has only one goal from a penalty so far, despite having the second-most shots in the tournament, and no other French player has scored any goals. The positive side is that they don’t have any injuries or suspension concerns, and they won’t change their game plan much from the Portugal game, as La Roja have a similar style to the Portuguese.

Spain will miss three of their starters for this game, which will definitely affect them. They will face a rock-solid French team that conceded only one goal in five matches, so it will be hard to break their defense, and they always have to worry about the speed of Kylian Mbappe, Randal Kolo Muani, and Antoine Griezmann in France’s counterplay.
The bet on the 2024 Euro Championship for France to qualify for the final has a lot of value, as they always perform better as underdogs. We think that Les Bleus will have a slight advantage if they reach the penalty shootouts, which is very possible given the way they are playing right now.

Both teams didn’t score in six of France’s last seven matches in all competitions. Les Bleus are kind of playing with a slow pace, trying to be solid at the back and not concede many goals, and they have been successful in doing so. This matchup has always been tight with few goals, as both teams couldn’t score in six of their last eight head-to-head games.

Spain are coming off a game with Germany, in which they had only one corner in 120 minutes. That has been the trend with La Roja, getting a lot of corners against the low teams and just a few against the good ones. France have got only five corners or fewer in five of their six games in the tournament so far, so if this turns out to be a close and tight matchup as we predicted, then it should go under the total here.
France and Spain are both capable of beating each other in this balanced matchup, but we will go with Les Bleus to go through to the finals in a close game.
