On July 14, Spain and France meet at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, for a World Cup semifinal. Spain has conceded just one goal through the entire tournament. France is appearing in its third consecutive World Cup semifinal.

Spain’s expected lineup and why it matters

The predicted Spanish starting eleven centers on goalkeeper Unai Simon behind a back four of Pedro Porro, Pau Cubarsi, Aymeric Laporte, and Marc Cucurella. Rodri is expected to anchor the midfield alongside Pedri or Fabian Ruiz.

Up front, Lamine Yamal lines up alongside either Dani Olmo or Alex Baena, with Mikel Oyarzabal leading the attack.
