The final match-up was set earlier today after France destroyed Iceland 5-2, thereby ending Iceland's unlikely run in the tournament. This sets up a marquee match against Germany in the semi-finals.
According to the bookmakers, the Germany vs France match is very tough to call, as evidenced by these odds:
Germany, 9/5
Draw, 21/10
France, 7/4
The odds to qualify for the finals see France with the very slight edge:
To Qualify
Germany, 10/11
France, 4/5
In a neutral setting, Germany would likely be the favourites to win, though France will be playing in front of their home fans. In addition, Germany had to struggle to beat Italy in the quarter-finals, while France eased to a win against Iceland.

Here are the outright odds for the rest of the Euro 2016 tournament:
Germany, 7/4
France, 7/4
Portugal, 100/30
Wales, 8/1
For many, Germany vs France is the true final of the tournament, though both Wales and Portugal will give the winner of Germany vs France all that they can handle.
