Spain take on the visitors France in the semifinal match pf UEFA Nations League. The match will be played on Thursday, June 5th at MHPArena (Stuttgart).
Spain clearly intends to stay at the top. La Furia Roja spent years in a kind of slumber following their golden era at the start of the century. But everything changed under Luis de la Fuente. His first major success came in the previous Nations League cycle, which Spain won. However, the highlight remains their incredible run at the Euro less than a year ago, where a young and vibrant side delivered stunning performances and convincing results. And they haven’t lost their hunger — after a goalless draw in Serbia to open the new Nations League campaign, they went on to defeat this same opponent, as well as Switzerland and Denmark. Only the Netherlands posed a serious challenge in the quarterfinals, with both legs ending in high-scoring draws. Spain eventually advanced thanks to Unai Simón’s penalty heroics — once again proving decisive in shootouts. Their pressing style and technical precision continue to overwhelm most opponents.

France have long been guided by Didier Deschamps, who has already announced he’ll step down after the next World Cup. While his teams typically excel on the world stage, their Euro performances have often been underwhelming. In 2024, despite being among the top favorites, France managed just one group stage win, then edged Belgium through an own goal and eliminated Portugal on penalties. They eventually fell to Spain, who outplayed them convincingly. In the current Nations League, with several veterans retired (including Griezmann) and Kylian Mbappé missing for a lengthy spell, they’ve looked inconsistent — suffering a home loss to Italy and drawing a blank against Israel. The quarterfinals brought further difficulties, as they lost the first leg 2-0 to Croatia. Despite these struggles, France managed to grind out results and reached the semifinals. Still, their lack of fluidity and reliance on moments of individual brilliance raise concerns against top-tier opposition.
The last five matches between these sides have seen the teams alternate wins — no side has won two in a row. No one's writing off the visitors, but Luis de la Fuente’s men simply look stronger at the moment. Back Spain to win with a 0 handicap (draw no bet).
Prediction for the match: Spain to win with 0.0 handicap.
