Match Preview: France vs Spain
France and Spain meet in a mouth-watering FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-final, pitting the tournament's most fearsome attack against its most disciplined defence. Didier Deschamps' France arrive unbeaten and have not conceded a single goal in the knockout rounds, storming past Sweden, Paraguay and Morocco. Kylian Mbappé leads the race for the Golden Boot, while Michael Olise has been a revelation in his first World Cup, chasing a tournament assist record.
Luis de la Fuente's Spain have been near-unbeatable at major tournaments since 2018, losing just once in 27 matches and keeping nine clean sheets along the way. La Roja have needed late drama to get past their last two knockout opponents, with Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappé — club rivals — set to go head-to-head again after Spain's win over France in the Euro 2024 semi-final.

Match Timeline & Live Commentary
CS Sports Prediction
Our Take: This looks a classic clash of styles — France's ruthless, high-scoring attack against Spain's resilient, battle-tested defence. Spain have historically had the edge in recent meetings, but France's knockout-stage defensive solidity makes this a genuine coin-flip. Expect a tight, cagey affair that could well be settled by a moment of individual brilliance from Mbappé or Yamal, potentially stretching into extra time.
