Here are tomorrow’s betting tips for more exciting football action.
SPAIN
Spain have been, without a doubt, the most impressive team in this tournament so far. Their beautiful attacking football has been too much to bear for opponents and it is no surprise that they are one step away from the finals. Spain’s biggest test was in the quarter-final against hosts Germany, a match which ended 1-1 draw before Spain snatched the winner in the final minute of extra time.
While there is much admiration for Spain’s attacking football, their defense has also played a crucial role in getting them here. Spain have conceded only twice so far in this tournament and one of the goals was an own goal. Furthermore, they have not conceded more than 1 goal in any match going back 7 matches. Another resolute performance will do them good in this match.

FRANCE
Former champions France have not played to their expected level so far and it is worth noting that they’ve reached the semis without any of their scorers scoring a goal in open play. In the quarters, they played to a 0-0 draw against Portugal before winning in post-match penalties. In the Round of 16, an own-goal from Vertongen was enough to see them overcome Belgium 1-0.
Despite France’s forward-line faltering, their defense has remained strong enough to keep them going in these games. They managed to shut out a highly-talented attacking Portugal side and have conceded only 1 goal so far in this tournament against Poland in their 1-1 draw in the group stage. The defense will have their work cut out as they try to stop a marauding Spain side that ahs emerged as the best attack in the tournament.
