Spain vs. France Picks

Two former winners of the UEFA Nations League will likely play out an interesting clash in the semi-finals on Thursday. Spain will have fond memories of Germany after winning the EUROs last summer.

France still appear to be in a period of transition, and their weak defensive options could leave them vulnerable against the expansive Spanish in Stuttgart this week.
