Spain - France: Tips, prognosis & odds - 10.10.2021 - EUROPE: UEFA Nations League - League A - Play Offs

 

For many football fans, the UEFA Nations League is still a red rag. At least one thing cannot be criticized for the newly created format, which is supposed to make the friendlies, which are not very important from a sporting point of view, obsolete: the attractiveness of the individual matches. After the two semi-finals in the highest division caused a lot of furore, the final day will rise next Sunday.

The final for the title will be contested by Spain and France. The odds tend to be in favor of the reigning world champion, which is also due, among other things, to the fact that coach Didier Deschamps' team showed a clear reaction in the second half against Belgium and actually converted the 2-0 deficit into a victory.

At the same time, in the eagerly awaited duel between Spain and France, it must also be taken into account for the forecast that it was Furia Roja who stopped the unbeaten series of 37 matches of the European champions a few days ago and celebrated a real statement victory in Italy . Consequently, the teams shouldn't lack self-confidence. This assessment may also allow a potential bet on goals from both sides.

Spain - statistics & current form

After a few years of sadness, coach Luis Enrique has again managed to make the Spanish national team socially acceptable. At the European Championship, the "Furia Roja" already reached the semi-finals and only had to admit defeat to the eventual title holder from Italy there. The revenge finally succeeded last Wednesday.

Thanks to a double pack from ManCity attacker Ferran Torres, the Spaniards laid the foundation for progress in the first round. In addition, the very self-confident and courageous Iberians profited from the superfluous red card against Leonardo Bonucci. Even if it got tight again towards the end of the game, the performance should by no means be reduced.

Is freshness becoming an X factor?

Another possibly not unimportant point is the somewhat longer regeneration time, which should not be underestimated, especially at this point in the season when many players in their clubs are challenged several times week after week. Because the majority of the almost 60 minutes cost less energy than the Equipe Tricolore catching up and the Luis Enrique-Elf was already in action on Wednesday, we consider a tip between Spain and France to win the Furia Roja title as anything but unlikely .

The footballing approach could be a bit more problematic, because the Spaniards want to have a lot of possession and sometimes spend a lot of professionals to be outnumbered in the opposing half, could lead to many switching moments against the strong counter team from the Grande Nation. If Koke, Busquets and Co. manage to display the appropriate residual defense, we are currently seeing qualitative advantages in the supposed outsider.

In terms of personnel, the national coach has few reasons to rebuild his successful formation on Wednesday. This in turn means that the only 17-year-old Gavi from FC Barcelona should appear in the central midfield alongside the aforementioned Busquets and Koke. Attacking hopes rest on the very variable attacking trio Sarabia, Torres and Oyarzabal. At the back, the pure Premier League back four is only supplemented by Pau Torres from Villarreal.

Simon; Azpilicueta, Laporte, P. Torres, Alonso; Koke, Busquets, Gavi; Sarabia, Torres, Oyarzabal

France - statistics & current form

"Heavenly cheering” and "saddened to death” are sometimes extremely close together in football. The French national team had the same experience on Thursday evening. After a 0-2 deficit, the reigning world champion fought his way back into the match thanks to a significant increase in performance in the second round, finally equalized with a penalty to 2-2 and even scored a 3-2 winner in the final phase by Theo Hernandez.

Although it was only about the Nations League semifinals, the encounter against the rival Belgians had previously been teased as a game of fate in the media. Especially against the background of Didier Deschamp's personality.

France wrongly favored?

At home, not everyone is currently convinced of the work of the national coach. It is quite possible that the bandage would have let itself be carried away into a short-circuit reaction in the first 45 minutes in the event of an excretion and in view of the bloodless presentation.

But because the French football world does not shine pink even after the comeback success and the early end of the European Championship as well as the five consecutive draws that have been collected in the meantime are still having an effect, we would be careful with a prediction on the Sunday evening in the Nations League final between Spain and France Submit Equipe Tricolore. Above all, because Mbappe, Benzema and Co. are traded as favorites and the corresponding win rates are therefore too low for an appealing value to be available.

Didier Deschamps won't make any major changes in the starting XI either. Only Tchouameni could move into the central midfield for the weak Rabiot. For Antoine Griezmann, however, it will be a special match, as he will be the eighth French player to celebrate his 100th international match on Sunday. He would very much like to end this with another title in his pocket.

Expected formation of France:

Lloris; Kounde, Varane, L. Hernandez; Pavard, Pogba, Tchouameni, T. Hernandez; Griezmann; Mbappe, Benzema

For the first time since 1984, these teams are fighting for a title again.

Betting base forecast & Spain Spain - France France tip

The successor to the Portuguese is sought. The second Nations League final in the history of the competition will be played by Spain and France on Sunday evening. The betting odds offered suggest an exciting course or an even match. Slight advantages, however, are attributed to the reigning world champion.

In our opinion, this assessment is not one hundred percent understandable, because in the past weeks and months the Iberians have been a little more constant. Furia Roja also knew how to convince more than 90 minutes in the semifinals than the Deschamps-Elf, who were clearly shown the limits by the Belgians in the first half.

In addition, there is the factor of greater freshness, which should not be underestimated. While the Spaniards were already in action on Wednesday and were allowed to play in the majority for more than half the time, the French needed a real show of strength on Thursday to reach the final. Maybe this could play into the cards of the Iberians.

The bottom line is that we are inclined to say that in the duel between Spain and France, the tip on winning the title for coach Luis Enrique's team offers the most attractive value. Alternatively, it can make sense to place a bet on "Both meet”. We would not rule out the over 2.5, despite the final character. Interesting odds can be found in the Unibet app, among other things.
