France vs Spain: betting tip (cf 4.30) and bets on the World Cup match

Current form

On the way to the semi-finals, France won all six matches and confidently confirms its status as the main contender for gold awards in accordance with the quotes of bookmakers. The strength of the tricolor is in a balanced team game, both defensively and offensively. Undoubtedly, the leader Kylian Mbappe stands out, but it cannot be said that all the successes are due to his actions. Rivals are often forced to pay a lot of attention to him, which is used successfully by partners. At the same time, Mbappe scored goals in all three matches in the playoffs.

In the playoffs, the French defeated Sweden 3-0 in the 1/16 finals without any problems. Next, in the 1/8 finals, we had to face the dense defense of Paraguay, but in that meeting we scored from the penalty spot in the second half (1-0). In the quarterfinals, there was a game against the Moroccan national team, which successfully defended itself in an organized manner, but this did not become a problem (2-0). As you can see, for three matches in the playoffs, Didier Deschamps' team did not concede a single goal. Reliable defensive play is an important factor in the team's success.

Mbappe was substituted in the match against Morocco due to ankle discomfort, but the national team leader trained in the general group and is ready to start today. It should be noted that Tchuameni is returning to service, and this is a serious strengthening of the support zone.

Current form

Spain, unlike its upcoming opponent, allowed itself one misfire. In the first round of the group stage, Luis de la Fuente's team failed to open Cape Verde's defense (0-0). At that time, there was clearly not enough speed in the development of attacks, the flanks were not fully engaged. In the following meetings, the quartet worked on mistakes, the Spaniards scored confident victories over Saudi Arabia (4:0) and Uruguay (1:0), finished in first place in the group.

During the three group stage matches, the Red Fury did not concede a single goal. This is largely due not only to the defensive line and goalkeeper, but also to the midfield. Immediately after sweating the ball, the players actively participate in the selection, try to rely on ball control, possession, and practically do not allow opponents to get to their goal. This tactic worked in the playoffs with Austria (3-0) and Portugal (1-0). Nevertheless, in the quarterfinals against Belgium, the Spaniards still missed (2:1). In the last two matches in the playoffs, they managed to snatch victories only in the endings, and both times Merino brought victories to his team.

According to the squad, winger Pinault has been out of the game since the group stage due to a shoulder injury. At the same time, Williams, who missed two matches in the playoffs, is ready to play, he has already tested his strength with the Belgians, went out for 11 minutes.
