At +175, Spain have roughly a 36.4% win expectancy to win in 90 minutes. France have about a 32.3% chance to win and a full-time draw lines to about 35.7%.

France rank second in the world, according to FIFA’s current World Rankings, while Spain are eighth. It’s a fitting matchup for a semifinal like this. The winner faces either England (fifth) or Netherlands (seventh) in the Euro final.

Best Bets For Spain vs. France Odds

James Tippett, author of The xG Philosophy, is contributing to TheLines.com during Euros, using the Expected Goals advanced metric to identify bets he believes have value and a better chance of cashing than the implied probability in the odds. Here are his bets for Spain vs. France.

France to Win

The first semifinal sees popular pre-tournament pick France face up to arguably the most impressive team at the competition so far in Spain.

Spain were our outright tip before a ball was kicked, and have been very clinical in how they’ve gone about their business. Their xG difference is +4.65(xG), which is the third best of any team. However, their opponents in the semis are one of the teams to have bettered their xG performances.

France boast an xGD of +4.89(xG), having conceded 1.60(xG) less than Spain over their five matches so far. Incredibly, France players have scored zero goals from 8.18(xG) so far. We expect this unlucky run of finishing to come to an end and for them to score at least a couple of goals in this game.

It should be a very even match, and as such, odds of +225 for a France victory are more than tempting.

Kylian Mbappe Anytime Goalscorer

Interestingly, despite Spain being favourites to beat France, Kylian Mbappe is comfortably the bookmakers’ favourite choice to score in this game. The Frenchman has generated the third most xG of any player at the competition (2.84), yet has only notched 1 goal so far.

Much for the same reason as why I’m backing France to win this game, I believe luck will even out and that Mbappe has a stronger chance of scoring than the bookies are estimating.

And despite a strong tournament so far, Spain did concede 2.14(xG) to Germany in the quarter-finals, suggesting that they do allow quality opposition to create chances against them.

As such, I believe these odds are highly generous.
