Honestly, it feels like every time Spain and France play, the predictions are super safe and always say it'll either be close or favor Spain because of their recent track record. But this year, I’ve seen a lot of people roast those predictions online since Spain’s missing Rodri (their main midfielder), and France gets Mbappe back just in time. I remember last year, no one thought Spain would hold France off as well as they did, and now with all these lineup changes, it’s wild how the same prediction keeps popping up like nothing has changed.

Personally, I think the old prediction might flop. France could run circles with Mbappe this time while Spain struggles for control in the middle field, especially if their defense gets pressured. I wouldn't just trust the normal odds or expert takes—this game's got way more chaos potential than people admit.

So, if you’re betting or just hyped to watch, I’d say don’t be shocked if the so-called expert predictions look pretty dumb after the game! Never underestimate what missing one key player or one star returning can do in matches like this.
