General match analysis

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

BTTS - will both teams score?

Typ BTTS: no. France has more ways to settle a match without long ball possession. 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. Control of the central zone and a limited number of quick attacks increase the chance that at least one team will finish the match without a goal. The model gives 43% on BTTS Yes and 57% on BTTS No. Expected goals: France 1.15, Spain 0.70. Status: SMALL BET

Over/Under - goals analysis

Typ: under 2.5. France has more ways to settle a match without long ball possession. 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. The model gives 30% on Over 2.5 and 70% on Under 2.5. xG: France 1.15, Spain 0.70, total 1.85. Most likely result: 1-0. Line 2.5 mainly depends on both teams scoring; the result 1:0 or 1:1 remains in the under's side. Status: BET

HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

Typ HT/FT: X/1. France has more ways to settle a match without long ball possession. 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. The most likely outcome is a draw at half-time and a break by France in the second half when more space appears. The highest tracks are X/1 22%, X/X 20% and X/2 15%. The distribution is exactly consistent with our 1X2 37%–34%–29%. Status: SMALL BET
