Key Factors
France benefits from an extra 24 hours of recovery after their quarterfinal win on July 9th, compared to Spain's intensive match on July 10th.
Kylian Mbappé is in clinical form with 8 tournament goals, consistently outperforming his xG, whereas Spain's Lamine Yamal is struggling for rhythm following a recent hamstring recovery.
Tactical mismatch: Spain's high-possession style (avg 62%) leaves significant space behind their defensive line, which France's elite transition speed (Mbappé, Dembélé) is designed to exploit.
Injuries & Absentees
Kylian Mbappé is nursing a minor ankle knock from the Morocco game but has trained normally and is expected to start. Spain is monitoring Lamine Yamal closely; though he is playing, his physical data shows a decline in top-speed sprints since his April hamstring injury. France's Saliba and Upamecano missed one session as a precaution but are fully available.
