Specifically, the support rate for a French victory is 51%, corresponding to a baseline probability of 4%, with a deviation of +7%; the support rate for a draw is 31%, corresponding to a match probability of 28%, with a deviation of +3%; and the support rate for a Spanish victory (or away loss) is 18%, corresponding to a probability of 28%, with a deviation of -10%.
All three results in this match were within the normal range in terms of psychological error. Fan voting was concentrated on France winning, while a draw diverted some attention. Spain's upset victory was almost not favored by fans.
The match will be held on July 15th, Beijing time. As the runner-up of the last World Cup, France has the advantage of strong lineup and experience in major tournaments. The star players in the team have a huge influence and are favored by the vast majority of fans. Although Spain's young lineup has smooth skills, their ability to withstand pressure in the final stage of a major tournament is questionable. Their approval rating in the fan voting is relatively low, which will ultimately result in the home team's popularity overwhelming the away team's voting pattern.
Summarize
The France vs. Spain match is heavily favored, with over half of the fans predicting a French victory. A draw splits the vote by 30%, while Spain's chances of winning are less than 20%. In terms of odds, France has the lowest payout, making their odds significantly higher than Spain's. However, the excessive focus on France suggests a premium in the betting market, making an upset possible.
