Spain continue their quest for a record fourth tournament championship when they take on France in the UEFA Euro 2024 semifinals at Allianz Arena in Munich on Tuesday. Spain are tied with Germany for the most titles in this competition with three after capturing the crown in both 2008 and 2012 to become the first team to win back-to-back. The Spaniards edged the Germans 2-1 in the quarterfinals on Friday, while France defeated Portugal on penalties to keep their hopes alive for a third Euro title.

A 90-minute draw is priced at +180 and the over/under for total goals scored is 1.5. Spain are the slight -120 favorites to advance.

Why you should back Spain
The Spaniards enter the semifinals with a seven-game winning streak across all competitions and have lost just one of their last 17 matches (14-2-1). They are looking to record their 16th win in 20 contests under manager Luis de la Fuente and become the first team in tournament history to record six victories. Spain were the only team that did not concede during the group stage and allowed just one goal in each of their first two knockout-round games.
Midfielder Pedri will miss the rest of Euro 2024 with a sprained MCL, while midfielders Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand won't be on the pitch Tuesday due to suspensions. Spain still has enough offensive firepower to advance, as midfielders Fabian and Dani Olmo each have registered two goals and two assists while winger Lamine Yamal is the tournament leader with three assists. Striker Alvaro Morata converted in the group-stage opener against Croatia to take sole possession of fourth place in Spain's all-time list with 36 goals - two fewer than Fernando Torres for third.

Why you should back France
While the French have recorded only three goals over their five tournament contests, including a pair of own-goals, they have allowed just one. The side posted a clean sheet against Belgium in its first knockout-stage match and did the same in the quarterfinals versus Portugal, who were tied for third during group play with five goals. France have kept the opposition off the scoreboard six times during their current eight-game unbeaten streak across all competitions.
Captain Kylian Mbappe still is not at his best due to a broken nose, but the superstar forward produced France's lone natural goal in the tournament on a penalty in their 1-1 group-stage draw with Poland. Antoine Griezmann is also a dangerous offensive weapon for the French. The 33-year-old forward is second on the nation's all-time scoring list in this tournament with seven goals, six of which he scored while leading all players in Euro 2016.
