  • A number of France players were involved in the Champions League final.
  • Didier Deschamps may elect against throwing them straight into the mix here.

Spain vs France Bet Builder Tips

Our Bet Builder tip for Spain vs France features Hernandez 2+ Fouls, Gavi 2+ Fouls & Doue 1+ Shot on Target.

At the time of publishing it is a best price of 10/1 with bet365.

  • France’s left-back Hernandez is likely to face a tough challenge from Spain’s Lamine Yamal, who draws fouls for fun (averaging just under 2 fouls drawn per 90 in La Liga). Hernandez will also contend with Spain’s attacking right-back Pedro Porro, whose overlaps create pressure. 
  • Gavi averages 3 fouls per 90 for Barcelona and in the 19 90 minutes he has played for Spain he has committed 39 fouls (average 2 fouls per 90). He is up against the likes of Doue, Mbappe, Dembele and Olise so 2 fouls can be expected.
  • Doue has burst onto the scene this season and will be riding the high of his Champions League final performance that saw him score twice. He had two shots on target in his only appearance for France against Croatia in March.
