In what has been an unpredictable tournament, the clash between Spain and France in the Euro 2024 semi-finals is set to be a thrilling encounter. The betting odds may have favored Spain, but as we have seen so far, anything is possible in this competition.
One football journalist, who had initially placed a bet on France to win the tournament at 4/1, expressed his surprise that his bet is still alive. Despite their lackluster performances, with only three goals scored – two own goals and one from a penalty – Les Bleus have managed to reach this stage of the competition.
On the other hand, Spain has been in scintillating form, with their young and vibrant team playing an attacking brand of football that has seen them score a total of 11 goals. Their most recent victory over reigning champions Germany, in which they scored a crucial goal in extra time, has solidified their status as favorites to reach the final.
Following their impressive quarter-final win, Betfred has placed Spain as 8/11 favorites to progress to the final. However, France, who have been grinding out victories, are not to be underestimated and are priced at evens in the same market. With so much on the line, it’s anyone’s guess as to who will emerge victorious in this highly anticipated matchup.
As the football world eagerly anticipates this clash of titans, one thing is for certain – both teams will leave everything on the field in pursuit of their Euro 2024 dreams.
