Match Preview

France head into their third successive World Cup semi-final in outstanding form, having won all six matches at the tournament while scoring 16 goals and eliminating Sweden, Paraguay and Morocco in the knockout rounds.

Kylian Mbappe has been central to that run with eight goals already, while the attacking support of Ousmane Dembele, Michael Olise and either Bradley Barcola or Desire Doue has given Didier Deschamps’ side a more dynamic edge.

Spain have the recent head-to-head advantage, winning seven of their last 10 meetings with France, and Luis de la Fuente’s side have again shown their tournament resilience through decisive knockout contributions from Mikel Merino.

This should be a tight semi-final, but France’s firepower, depth and excellent World Cup semi-final record may just be enough to edge them into the final.
