Spain National Football Team Vs France National Football Team Lineups

Kickoff Time for La 1 and RTVE Play will be 21:00 ET

De la Fuente will have to adjust his lineup due to three absentees. Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand both received yellow cards against Germany while Pedri was sidelined due to an injury which ended his tournament. Expect Dani Olmo to fill these vacancies alongside Alvaro Morata, Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal for support in support of De la Fuente’s lineup.

Spain

Spain has long been one of the world’s top football teams, consistently winning major tournaments like Euro 2012 and several others since their last European Championship title win in 2012. They remain clear favorites to claim their first championship trophy since 2012.

Kylian Mbappe has struggled to find his form for France, yet Didier Deschamps remains optimistic he will return to form against Spain in Tuesday’s semifinal match. France have proven adept at responding to challenges throughout Germany’s tournament so far; as evidenced by overcoming Georgia’s early goal and rallying from behind against Poland after Kolo Muani opened up scoring early against them both.

Aymeric Laporte will lead the charge against Spain in the quarterfinals, contributing significantly to Les Bleus’ defensive unit which helped limit Germany’s attacking firepower. Born in Agen, which borders French Basque Country, Laporte played youth soccer for Athletic Club before moving onto national team ties; his experience there influenced his feelings of belonging with Spain on an international stage; he holds dual citizenship with France as well.

France

Didier Deschamps has made two adjustments to his team that narrowly beat Germany, replacing Dani Carvajal at right back with Jesus Navas and Nacho Fernandez for Robin Le Normand at centre defense. William Saliba from Arsenal will partner Dayot Upamecano while N’Golo Kante will return alongside Aurelien Tchouameni and Adrien Rabiot on the back line, leaving Eduardo Camavinga on the bench.

Dani Olmo will replace Pedri, who suffered a knee injury due to Toni Kroos’ heavy tackle and will miss Euro 2024 as a result of it.

Kylian Mbappe will lead France into their quest for gold at Euro 2024, but has struggled to find his best form thus far. Lamine Yamal will provide him with a solid platform from which to attack; however, Kylian must show more clinical finishing than in their quarter-final appearance.

Formations

Both are widely-recognized for their attacking flair and solid defensive abilities, creating one of the great rivalries in football.

Luis de la Fuente was forced to make some changes in his starting XI after Dani Carvajal received a yellow card against Germany, rendering him unavailable for this matchup. Jesus Navas and Nacho Fernandez will begin alongside Aymeric Laporte and Marc Cucurella at the back.

Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams will lead their team from the wings, while Rodri Hernandez, Fabian Ruiz and Ousmane Dembele will play central midfield. France goalkeeper Mike Maignan should play an instrumental role in this match as he has an exceptional knowledge of how to read the game well.

Recent form

Spain have scored 11 goals across their two opening matches and are favorites to reach the final. Unfortunately for Spain though, Dani Carvajal picked up a yellow card against Germany that prevents him from participating. That could prompt Luis de la Fuente to introduce Real Madrid full back Nacho Fernandez or former Manchester City defender Jesus Navas into their defense alongside Aymeric Laporte and Marc Cucurella for this semi-final tie.

Dani Olmo of RB Leipzig will replace Pedri, who suffered an injury against Stuttgart and will miss out. Rodri and Fabian Ruiz, two potential contenders for Player of the Tournament award. Alvaro Morata will remain part of his front three alongside young wingers Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams.

France are unaffected by suspensions for this match and can trust their stellar starting lineup to perform in this contest. Mike Maignan will keep goal for France while Jules Kounde, William Saliba, Dayot Upamecano and Theo Hernandez have formed an outstanding back four, while N’Golo Kante, Aurelian Tchouameni and Adrien Rabiot should continue forming a solid midfield partnership to support Randal Kolo Muani and Mbappe up front.
