Tactical matchup
France line up in a 4-4-2, Spain in a 4-4-2. With little between the sides, control of the central zones and second balls should decide territory. The midfield — Michael Olise and Adrien Rabiot against Fabián Ruiz and Dani Olmo — is where the game is likely won. In a knockout tie the first goal and set pieces carry outsized weight, with caution often trumping early ambition.
