  • Spain (+165) is the favorite on the three-way moneyline.
  • My prediction for Tuesday's match is for a low-scoring fixture in Munich.
  • Get anytime goal scorer prices along with a prediction for total corner kicks.

On Tuesday in Munich, Spain and France will take center stage for a spot in the 2024 Euro final.ย 

Spain is the favorite to advance after knocking out hosts Germany in the quarterfinal. The match required extra time, with Mikel Merinoโ€™s extra-time winner proving the difference.ย 

As for France, they played a low-event quarterfinal match against Portugal. The sides combined for only four big chances in regular time, with France advancing on penalty kicks.ย 

Hereโ€™s a look at the Euro 2024 odds and my prediction for Tuesdayโ€™s match.ย 

Spain vs. France Odds

  • Spain Moneyline: +165
  • France Moneyline: +210
  • Draw Moneyline: +180
  • Total Goals: 1.5 (-190/+138)
  • Both Teams to Score: Yes (+110), No (-155)

Spain vs. France Prediction: Total Goals

I predict Tuesdayโ€™s Spain vs. France will stay under 1.5 goals (+138), based on the quality defensive metrics from both teams.ย 

Although Iโ€™d prefer to have push protection on two goals, itโ€™s hard to see a scenario where either attack breaks through.ย 

For all their finishing problems, Franceโ€™s defense remains outstanding. Theyโ€™ve allowed the fewest expected goals in the tournament and have kept a clean sheet in four of five matches.ย 

Sample only regular time against Portugal, and bettors will find they allowed only 0.9 expected goals, per fotmob.com.ย 

Franceโ€™s offense does enter Tuesdayโ€™s match a positive regression candidate, but I question if those bounces come against Spain.ย 

Spain did allow 1.57 xG to Germany in the quarterfinals, but 80% came after Spain gained an advantage in 51 minutes.ย 

The longer this game remains in a neutral state, the more I believe chances will prove sparing.ย 

Plus, France has created only 1.2 xG per 90 minutes in matches against the Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal.ย 

As a result, expect this game to prove a low-scoring affair, especially with both sides playing on tired legs.

Who will score a goal in Spain vs. France?ย 

Based on current betting odds, Kylian Mbappe (+190) has the best chance to score a goal in this Euro matchup.ย 

Mbappe is followed on the odds board by Spainโ€™s Alvaro Morata (+240), Joselu (+260) and Ayoze Perez (+300).ย 

Spain vs. France: How many corner kicks will there be?ย 

Based on the current line of 9.5 corner kicks, I predict the UNDER will hit in Spain vs. France.ย 

Save for Spainโ€™s match against Georgia, theyโ€™ve seen three of four matches where theyโ€™ve deployed their starters finish under this total.ย 

Although France saw their match against Portugal clear this number, their matches against Belgium and the Netherlands stayed under this number.ย
