Spain Vs France Betting Tips: The Panel's Best Bets & Euro 2024 Predictions
Spain Vs France Betting Tips:
- The Panel Pick 1: Spain And France To Draw - 2/1 With Betfred
- The Panel Pick 2: Fabian Ruiz +0.5 Shots On Target - 21/10 With QuinnBet
- The Panel Pick 3: Mike Maignan To Make +3.5 Saves - Evens With Bet365
Spain and France clash in the first Euro 2024 semi-final on Tuesday night and betting sites have plenty of markets for the game in Munich.
Both teams needed extra time to reach the last four, with France going through in a penalty shootout following a drab goalless draw with Portugal.
Substitute Mikel Merino proved to be Spain’s unlikely hero as his brilliant 119th-minute header secured a 2-1 victory over tournament hosts Germany on Friday night.
Luis de la Fuente’s side are the slight favourites at 17/10 to reach the final inside 90 minutes and France are available at 43/20 with BetMGM.
The Panel have examined the form and latest odds to pick out three Spain vs France predictions for the battle between two European heavyweights.
Spain Vs France Prediction: Stalemate In Prospect
Three-time European champions Spain are without a couple of key players on Tuesday when midfielder Pedri will be absent with a knee injury sustained against Germany, while right-back Dani Carvajal and central defender Robin Le Normand are both suspended.
Former Real Madrid captain Nacho Fernandez is expected to replace Le Normand in the heart of defence and Dani Olmo will almost certainly fill in for Pedri following his man-of-the-match performance on Friday when he scored the opener and provided the assist for the winner.
Spain have been the best team at Euro 2024, winning all five matches and scoring 11 goals, the joint-highest number along with Germany.
They have also registered the most shots (102) and efforts on target (35) in Germany, 13 and 14 more respectively than France.
La Roja have also won 15 of their last 19 matches since 2023, so they head into the match in great form, unlike France who have limped into the semi-finals on the back of a poor scoring record.
Didier Deschamps’ side have remarkably yet to score from open play, with two own goals and a penalty the sum of their efforts.
Kylian Mbappe has been playing for most of the tournament with a face mask after breaking his nose against Austria and it seems to be affecting his performances, having scored with just one of his 20 shots, a penalty against Poland.

The Real Madrid-bound striker is now 9/4 with football betting sites to score in normal time, so something is clearly not clicking for one of the world's best players and his team in general.
It all seems to be adding up to a Spain win on this evidence, but it should not be forgotten that Les Bleus have conceded just once in five matches and even that came from the spot.
The French are clearly a tough nut to crack, so the first of our Spain vs France betting tips is for the game to end as a draw after 90 minutes.
The Panel Tip 1: Draw – 2/1 With Betfred
Spain Vs France Prediction: Stick With Fabian
Fabian Ruiz was a great price at 11/1 to score against Germany and although he failed to add to his two goals at the tournament, The Panel have decided to stand by the Spain midfielder.
The Paris Saint-Germain player has had 13 efforts on goal over the course of five matches and is 15/1 with new betting sites to find the net at the Allianz Arena.
Breaching the meanest defence at the European Championship from open play will be a tough task, so it may pay dividends to examine the shots market instead.
Five of Fabian’s 13 shots in the group and knockout stages have been on target which is an impressive figure for a deep-lying midfielder.
QuinnBet are offering 21/10 for Fabian to force a save out of goalkeeper Mike Maignan and that looks a good price for the next of our Spain vs France betting tips
The Panel Tip 2: Fabian Ruiz +0.5 Shots On Target – 21/10 With QuinnBet
Spain Vs France Prediction: Maignan The Main Man
Maignan has been simply outstanding at the European Championship, conceding just once from a retaken penalty by Poland striker Robert Lewandowski.
The AC Milan shot-stopper has also made 16 saves in his five matches and he could be busy once more against a team that take so many shots as we have already mentioned.
Maignan has a 94% save record so far, easily the best of all the goalkeepers to have played more than once at the tournament.
With Spain expected to pepper the French goal with shots, The Panel are on board Maignan making over 3.5 saves at Evens with Bet365 as our final selection.
The Panel Tip 3: Mike Maignan To Make +3.5 Saves – Evens With Bet365
