Spain
Spain suffered quite a few blows in their game against Germany and will be without three players for this fixture. Pedri has been ruled out of the tournament, Robin Le Normand has been suspended after picking up another yellow, and Dani Carvajal is also unavailable after being sent off at the very end of the round of 16 clash.
Luis de la Fuente will stick to the 4-3-3 formation, where Unai Simon will continue in goal. Jesus Navas is expected to replace Carvajal as the right-back, while Nacho Fernandez will come into the heart of the defence to partner Aymeric Laporte. Marc Cucurella will continue as the left-back.
Rodri will be the defensive midfielder, and he will have the support of Fabian Ruiz and Dani Olmo, who is expected to replace Pedri after having had an impressive performance against Germany last time out.
Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams will feature on the flanks for Spain as usual. The young duo will provide width to their attacks and will look to create chances for skipper Alvaro Morata, who will lead the line for Spain against France.
France
Les Bleus have no suspensions or any fresh injury concerns heading into this final-four fixture. Adrien Rabiot is back in the mix after having missed out on their previous encounter following a suspension.
Didier Deschamps will look to continue with the 4-3-1-2 formation, where Mike Maignan will be in goal. The French shot-stopper has been exceptional so far and is expected to continue in a similar fashion.
Jules Kounde and Theo Hernandez will be the full-backs while Dayot Upcamencano and the highly sought-after William Saliba will be in the heart of the defence. The back four have been in sensational form, and they will look to keep a clean sheet against Spain.
In the centre of the park, Rabiot will make a return to the XI, and he will feature alongside Aurelien Tchouameni and N’Golo Kante. The trio will not only cover their backline but will also look to create opportunities to hit La Roja on the break. Antoine Griezmann will feature in a number 10 role just behind the attacking partnership of Kylian Mbappe and Randal Kolo Muani.
Spain possible starting lineup:
Simon: Navas, Nacho, Laporte, Cucurella; Olmo, Rodri, Ruiz: Yamal, Morata, Williams
France possible starting lineup:
Maignan; Kounde, Saliba, Upamecano, Hernandez; Kante, Tchouameni, Rabiot; Griezmann; Kolo Muani, Mbappe
Prediction: Spain 1-0 France (after extra time)
In the sixth meeting between Spain and France at a major tournament, it is surely the turn of an inspired La Roja side to taste success again. Excluding penalty shoot-outs, Les Bleus have lost just one of their last 16 European Championship matches, in addition to conceding only one goal in their last seven internationals - but they may meet their match on Tuesday. Spanish speed and flair might initially be stunted by a stubborn blue wall, but they will ultimately find a way through Europe's toughest defence and claim a deserved place in the final.
