France vs Spain Prediction & Tips
France have been the most clinical side of the tournament. Six wins from six, 16 goals scored, only two conceded. Mbappé leads the Golden Boot with eight goals — level with Messi on the all-time World Cup scoring record with 20 — and Dembélé scored the second in a commanding 2-0 win over Morocco in the quarter-final. Michael Olise has six assists in six matches, one away from Pelé’s all-time single-edition record.
Spain got here the harder way. Mikel Merino has scored two 85th-minute-or-later winners — against Portugal in the Round of 16 and Belgium in the quarter-final — to keep La Roja alive in tight games. Goalkeeper Unai Simón set a World Cup record of 649 consecutive scoreless minutes before De Ketelaere finally beat him against Belgium. Lamine Yamal, still 18, has yet to fully deliver at this tournament, but has looked sharper with every game since returning from injury in the group stage.
