EURO 2024 schedule for today, July 9th
Latest EURO 2024 schedule update today, July 9th: When will the semi-final match between Spain and France take place?
The first semi-final match of EURO 2024 will take place on July 9th. The clash between Spain and France promises to be very exciting.
Among the semi-finalists, Spain made the biggest impression. The Spanish team navigated the tough group stage with three consecutive wins. In the knockout round, they thrashed Georgia. Against Germany, Spain played flexibly, defeating the host nation in extra time.
However, La Roja suffered a setback when Pedri had to leave the tournament early due to injury. Mikel Merino is likely to be used as his replacement. In defense, Dani Carvajal and Le Normand are suspended. The two players who have a chance to play are Jesus Navas and Nacho Fernandez.
Spain will face a major challenge against France. Les Bleus' defense has been playing steadily since the start of the tournament, having conceded only one goal.

France's problem lies in their attack. No French player has scored from open play. France's goals have come from set pieces or own goals by opponents.
France lacks a skilled playmaker in this tournament. Their midfield is mainly composed of players who rely on physical strength. Antoine Griezmann is no longer at his best and therefore contributes little to the attack.
Opta's supercomputer predicts Spain's chances of winning at 38.2%, while France's are at 31.8%.
