France vs Spain
They haven’t always been the warmest of neighbours, but in recent times these aristocrats of world football have clashed on the football pitch rather than the battlefield.
And this is a friendly game, so it should be all sweetness and light! But it is a game both will be keen to win. The hosts will be marginal favourites at the Stade de France, on most betting websites, sitting nicely on top of Group A after a 3-1 victory in Luxembourg. You can get odds with Asian Handicap betting at SBOBET of 2.36 for a home win or 3.00 for a draw.
Olivier Giroud was on target twice and Antoine Griezmann contributed a third to help Les Bleus jump a tricky hurdle on Sunday, so the Paris crowd will want to see a convincing display.
Spain had a relatively comfortable 4-1 win against Israel, with goals from Diego Costa and Isco to keep Julen Lopetegui’s team joint top of a tough Group G with Italy. If you fancy an away win on Wednesday, you’ll get odds of 3.10.
Both teams drew their last friendly matches, France a goalless stalemate at home to Ivory Coast while Spain scored two late goals to snatch a share of the spoils in England. And the last time these two European Giants met, in 2014, the French came out on top 1-0.
There is plenty of history for sure. France and Spain have been close neighbours since the end of the Franco Spain 24-year war in 1659. And the great Spanish artist, Pablo Picasso, lived in Paris throughout his life.
So this is a friendly maybe, but both teams have dominated the world stage for long periods over the last 20 years and there are big bragging rights at stake.
