Match description

Typ 1X2 after 90 minutes: 1. France has more ways to decide the match without long possession of the ball. Spain should control much of the match, but its high structure creates space for quick transitions for France. Both teams protect the midfield well, so the number of clear opportunities should be limited. The most likely scenario is a goalless first half and one decisive France moment after the break. Our prediction is 37% for France, 34% for draw and 29% for Spain. The most likely exact score is 1-0. Promotion after the whole match: France (58% vs 42%). Status: SMALL BET

* xG (expected goals) says how many goals a team should score from its chances. If actual goals are above xG, finishing is above average; if below xG, chances are being missed.
