But only one looks like it’s clicking on all cylinders, which is why France is favored at -150 in the World Cup odds to advance to the final.My France vs. Spain predictions and World Cup picks explain why I’m backing Les Bleus to find multiple goals as they win in regulation on July 14.PickPriceWho will win pick: France in regulation+129Over/Under pick: Over 2.5-116Bonus pick: France team total Over 1.5+114When I look at how these teams operate at their best, France are best set up to win.Spain wants to keep possession, push their fullbacks up in the attack, overload the flanks, and pressure relentlessly with a high line when they lose possession.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe biggest problem for Spain is that they are struggling to score goals from individual moments. Goals aren’t coming easily, and both their goals against Belgium came from rebounds off saved shots.They’ve looked to Lamine Yamal to be that creator.

Unai Simon is very fortunate his net didn’t ripple multiple times, as Spain were caught multiple times by simple Route 1 balls down the channel.Simon was also caught off his line on more than one occasion, with a defender’s block late saving him serious blushes.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementFrance thrives on direct attacks, and their ability to capitalize on them is far better than Belgium’s. While I expect Bradley Barcola or Desire Doue to sit back to help against Yamal, Mbappe and Dembele’s pace will terrorize Spain’s slow centerback partnership.I do expect Spain to find a goal at some point. It might come when Nico Williams is int
