Spain has a slight advantage
The Furia Roja has played here recently which gives them a very slight advantage in terms of knowing the venue, the pitch, and take out some few minutes of adjusting. Meanwhile, France will have to see how the pitch responds.
Now, it is a minimum advantage given the talent and speed of France. However, it could give Spain all the signs to go and try to hit France fast and early in the game.
