Editorial Prediction
France have claimed victory in 20 of their last 21 head-to-head clashes with Spain and come into this match in noticeably better form. However, the average total in their previous five encounters stands at just 34.2 points, highlighting the typically low-scoring nature of this rivalry. Given both the recent head-to-head stats and the current shape of the teams, the most reasonable bet for this matchup is under 40.5 total points.
