France News:
Long established near the top of international football's foodchain, France are aiming to become just the third team to reach three successive World Cup finals, following in the footsteps of traditional giants Germany and Brazil.So far this summer, six straight wins have seen Les Bleus comfortably top Group I, then eliminate Sweden, Paraguay and Morocco, while scoring 16 goals in the process.Having swept the Swedes aside, then survived La Albirroja's 'dark arts' in the next knockout round, last time out they faced down a resolute Moroccan side in Boston.France may have missed a number of chances - most notably a first-half penalty by Kylian Mbappe - but their captain then scored a superb opener before setting up Ousmane Dembele to put the quarter-final tie beyond doubt.A potent front four featuring that pair, plus Michael Olise and either Bradley Barcola or Desire Doue, has proven capable of unlocking the most stubborn defences.
Though Mbappe was taken off in the second half of France's quarter-final, he should recover from a minor ankle sprain in time to start on Tuesday.Manu Kone was also withdrawn due to a knee issue, but that was thought to be a precautionary measure, so the Roma midfielder can vie with Aurelien Tchouameni for selection should the latter complete his comeback from a thigh injury.On eight goals already, Golden Boot contender Mbappe will link up with Ballon D'Or holder Dembele again - the pair have created 19 chances for one another so far this summer.It remains to be seen whether Doue or Barcola joins them and Olise in the French final third - and Spain's attack is not set in stone either.
Spain News:
Still, Spanish fans can claim recent precedent favours their team, who have won seven of their last 10 games against France.The most recent two were particularly notable: 2-1 in the semis of Euro 2024, which they went on to win, and 5-4 at last year's UEFA Nations League finals.Mbappe did score from the spot in that nine-goal thriller, but Lamine Yamal bagged a brace and Mikel Merino was also on target as La Roja knocked their neighbours out.One year on, Merino became the first man in World Cup history to score the winner in two knockout ties as a substitute, setting up an even bigger showdown with France.With extra time looming, the super-sub emerged from the bench to beat Belgium with a late strike in Friday's quarter-final, after Unai Simon's streak of six World Cup clean sheets had finally been brought to a halt.
Mikel Oyarzabal has scored four at this World Cup and should lead a fluid front line, but Ferran Torres and fit-again pair Nico Williams and Yeremy Pino are all pushing for promotion from the bench.Meanwhile, midfielders Merino and Pedri also have strong claims to start, leaving Fabian Ruiz and Dani Olmo looking over their shoulders.Yamal has yet to replicate his stunning Euro 2024 form, but the teen winger is a fixture on La Roja's right flank, linking up with Pedro Porro, who seems to have won his selection duel with Marcos Llorente.
