This feels like the final before the final.
France have been the tournament’s most devastating attacking side, while Spain have once again shown why they’re one of the most complete international teams in world football. With a place in the World Cup final at stake, Dallas hosts a heavyweight clash between two genuine contenders who have looked destined to meet for weeks.
Rather than backing just one side, we’ve brought together the best selections from Camille, our France Fan Voice, and Diego, our Spain Fan Voice, to build one huge 126.00 Mega Bet Builder.
Our France vs Spain Mega Bet Builder (126.00)
- Both Teams To Score
- Kylian Mbappe Anytime Goalscorer
- Lamine Yamal 2+ Shots
- Ousmane Dembele 2+ Shots
- Pedro Porro to be booked
- Lucas Digne to be booked
- Over 7.5 Corners
- Over 3.5 Offsides
Both Teams To Score
Diego: It would be a surprise if only one of these attacks found the net.
France have scored 16 goals in six matches, while Spain have finally been breached after five straight clean sheets. Both sides have world-class forwards capable of producing moments from nothing.
This has all the ingredients for both teams to get on the scoresheet.
Kylian Mbappe Anytime Goalscorer
Camille: This stage is made for Mbappe.
He’s already scored eight goals at this World Cup and remains locked in an incredible Golden Boot race. Every time France need a decisive moment, Mbappe seems to provide it.
Lamine Yamal 2+ Shots
Diego: Yamal has had six shots against Belgium and has now led Spain for both touches in the opposition box and total shots in each of the last three matches. Overall, he’s attempted 23 shots in five World Cup appearances, averaging 5.11 per 90.
Against France, I expect Spain to keep feeding him the ball.
Ousmane Dembele 2+ Shots
Camille: Dembele has recorded two or more shots in four of France’s six matches, including three or more in three of them, and arrives in Dallas full of confidence after another outstanding campaign.
With France looking to attack Spain’s high line whenever possession turns over, I expect him to be heavily involved.
Pedro Porro To Be Booked
Camille: This feels like one of the strongest card angles.
Porro committed seven fouls across his four tournament appearances, including four against Belgium, and collected 10 Premier League yellow cards for Tottenham last season.
Whether it’s Barcola or Doue attacking his side, he’ll have a difficult evening.
Lucas Digne To Be Booked
Diego: If anyone draws fouls, it’s Yamal.
He’s completed at least two dribbles in every World Cup appearance and has already won six fouls across Spain’s last two knockout matches. Digne hasn’t faced anyone with Yamal’s pace and unpredictability yet, and I can see him resorting to a tactical foul or two.
Over 7.5 Corners
Camille: Both of these teams attack relentlessly.
Spain have won 44 corners at this World Cup, second only to Canada, constantly stretching teams through Yamal and Baena. France, meanwhile, have enough pace and quality to force defenders into last-ditch clearances whenever Mbappe, Dembele or Olise break forward.
With two attack-minded sides, eight corners feels a very achievable line.
Over 3.5 Offsides
Diego: This is a fascinating tactical battle.
Every one of Spain’s World Cup matches has cleared this offsides line. Spain defend aggressively with a high line, while France constantly look for runs in behind through Mbappe and Dembele.
Those styles naturally create offside flags.
Camille & Diego’s Prediction
This feels like a final arriving one game early.
Spain will dominate possession. France will look to punish every turnover. It has every ingredient to become one of the matches of the tournament.
Predicted score: France 2-2 Spain (they both disagree on who wins it in extra-time!)
