Predictions
France and Spain are set to battle in a blockbuster FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-final on Tuesday, July 14, at Dallas Stadium in Texas. With a place in the final on the line, two of Europe's football powerhouses will renew one of international football's greatest rivalries. The winner will face either England or Argentina in the title decider.
France have looked unstoppable throughout the tournament, winning all six of their matches. Les Bleus cruised through Group I before eliminating Sweden, Paraguay, and Morocco in the knockout rounds. Didier Deschamps' side have been particularly impressive at the back, keeping clean sheets in each of their three knockout matches.
Spain have also enjoyed a remarkable campaign after finishing top of Group H. La Roja arrive in the semi-final unbeaten in 36 consecutive matches in regulation time, although they were pushed to the limit in the knockout stage. Dramatic late goals from Mikel Merino secured narrow victories over both Portugal and Belgium, keeping Spain's World Cup dream alive.

👉 Our prediction is: Draw
France will have the home advantage in this match, and with the quality of their players to the strength of their performances, they will have the upper hand. But even with all that said, our betting tip is to go for a draw in France vs Spain.
We just see some flaws that Spain can exploit in order to hold the home side to a draw. And with odds of 3.41, the potential payout for a draw is well worth a shot.
