France vs. Spain - Second Half Result

Platform comparison

Market context

This market covers the second-half goal differential in the 2026 FIFA World Cup semifinal between France and Spain, scheduled for 14 July in Dallas. France possess the tournament’s second-best attack with 16 goals, 11 of which arrived after the 45-minute mark, while Spain hold the joint-best defence, conceding only once in six matches [1][4]. The crowd-implied 0% probability for a France second-half win aligns with Spain’s recent resilience: they have not lost a 90-minute match in 36 games since March 2024 and have kept nine clean sheets in their last 14 major tournament outings [4]. Historically, Spain’s defensive structure under Luis de La Fuente has consistently neutralised France’s late surges, with only four of Spain’s last 16 games seeing both teams score [4].

Traders must monitor Didier Deschamps’ lineup announcement, particularly regarding Kylian Mbappé, who was withdrawn in the quarter-final with an ankle issue but is reportedly moving freely in training [4]. No official injuries or suspensions have been declared, yet Mbappé’s fitness remains the primary catalyst for France’s second-half scoring potential [4]. Spain’s head-to-head record offers further context: they have won seven of their last 10 matches against France and feature Lamine Yamal, who has scored three goals across two appearances against Les Bleus [4]. Kick-off is at 3:00 PM ET, with settlement dependent on regular play plus second-half stoppage time.
