You would think that making it to the semi-finals would be enough to make the fans of the 4 teams involved very happy indeed.
While they will all certainly be glad to be here, you can bet that 3 of the 4 involved are not quite in their totally happy place.
My Analysis
Outside of Spain, none of the other teams in the semi-finals of the European Championship have been totally convincing, with each of them suffering at least one scare along the way.
Remembering the past is unnecessary, as one more win secures a final spot and a chance at glory for players.
Given that these two teams have conquered the EUROS and the World Cup in years past, it may come as a surprise to learn that their meetings have been scarce at best in major tournaments.
None of that really matters, though, as it’s all about winning now. It is Spain who are favored by a half goal here, with the total set at 1 ½.
^Spain Betting Lines +165
As we just mentioned, Spain are ½ goal favorites here, with their odds to win in regular time set at +165.
There is a very good reason that they are seen as the favorite to win, especially when you consider that France were the favorites to win it all prior to the start of the tournament.
Spain has looked like the best team from start to finish over the past few weeks. They cruised through the groups stage, winning all 3 games, while scoring 5 times and not surrendering a single goal.
They did get a little shock in the Round of 16, going down a goal to Georgia before stepping on the gas to pick up the 4-1 win.
Likewise, they then had to face the hosts, Germany needing extra time to get through that one with a 2-1 win.
Furthermore, they have had 9 different goalscorers throughout this tournament, so they are a threat from all positions.

France Betting Lines +208
While there has been much disappointment about the way in which France has played in this tournament, it is Kylian Mbappé who is getting much of the heat.
He has scored just once in this tournament, although he was out with a facial injury for a couple of games.
Through the 5 games they have played thus far, France has managed just 3 goals, but you do have to say that the defense is doing their part, giving up just 1 goal to this point.
This is, France never really looked in danger of not making it out of the group stage, but they have been a little lucky in the knockout phase.
They needed a late goal to beat Belgium in the Round of 16, and then went all the way to a penalty shootout after a 0-0 stalemate against Portugal in the quarterfinals.
^Spain vs France Betting Prediction
You look at France and have to wonder where the goals are going to come from, especially against a team as defensively sound as Spain.
With that in mind, I am taking Spain to move on.
