Spain continue their quest for a record fourth tournament championship when they take on France in the UEFA Euro 2024 semifinals at Allianz Arena in Munich on Tuesday. Spain are tied with Germany for the most titles in this competition with three after capturing the crown in both 2008 and 2012 to become the first team to win back-to-back. The Spaniards edged the Germans 2-1 in the quarterfinals on Friday, while France defeated Portugal on penalties to keep their hopes alive for a third Euro title.
Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. The Spaniards are +175 favorites (risk $100 to win $175) on the 90-minute money line in the latest Spain vs. France odds, while the French are +200 underdogs. A 90-minute draw is priced at +180 and the over/under for total goals scored is 1.5. Spain are the slight -120 favorites to advance.

How they got here
Spain came out on top of Group B with a 100% winning record which remains intact after playing Georgia in the round of 16 and Germany in the quarterfinals. Should La Roja see off France here, England or the Netherlands will await in the final but that will be easier said than done against Les Bleus who have conceded just one goal across five games. The French came second in Group D before edging past Belgium in the round of 16 and then Portugal in the quarterfinals which required a penalty shootout.

Team news
Spain: Three absences will change De la Fuente's XI with Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand suspended and Pedri out injured. The latter's tournament is already over and there was initially some confusion over Alvaro Morata's eligibility. The captain will be available but Nacho and Jesus Navas could come into the XI bringing experience while Dani Elmo should be Pedri's replacement. Expect to see Morata supported by Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal.
Possible Spain XI: Simon; Navas, Nacho, Laporte, Cucurella; Olmo, Rodri, Ruiz; Yamal, Morata, Williams.
France: Adrien Rabiot should walk back into the XI after suspension so Mbappe's form and fitness is the main worry for Deschamps ahead of this clash. Mike Maignan is in form and could star once more behind an untouched defense with Rabiot replacing Eduardo Camavinga. However, there is some debate in France about whether or not Antoine Griezmann will be dropped with concerns over his form and fitness against the country where he plies his trade.
Possible France XI: Maignan; Kounde, Saliba, Upamecano, Hernandez; Kante, Tchouameni, Rabiot; Griezmann; Kolo Muani, Mbappe.
Prediction
Expect this to be another tight encounter that sees plenty of tension and very little free-flowing soccer. It will likely come down to a key moment to decide who reaches the final and France appear slightly better at minimizing goals against to ensure that they continue to march on without fear. Pick: Spain 0, France 1 (France win after extra time).
