easyBet Predictions semi-finals
France vs Spain (Tuesday 14th July – 8pm)
Backing under 2.5 goals in France vs Spain offers incredible value at 50%, where a £10 stake returns £20.
France and Spain meet in Tuesday’s World Cup semi-final boasting two of the tournament’s meanest defences. France have kept four clean sheets in five matches and conceded just twice all tournament, while Spain went five consecutive games without conceding before Belgium finally breached them in the quarters. Historically these two play tight – under 2.5 goals has landed in seven of the last 10 head-to-head meetings, including Spain’s 2-1 win at Euro 2024. With a World Cup final place at stake, expect both managers to prioritise defensive solidity over risk-taking, making a cagey, low-scoring battle the most likely outcome.
50% PLACE BETEngland vs Argentina (Wednesday 15th July – 8pm)
England to beat Argentina stands out as a great value option at 38%, where a £10 stake returns £26.32.
Argentina’s defence has looked there for the taking all tournament. Lisandro Martinez has been error-prone, and full-backs Molina and Tagliafico were consistently exposed in wide areas against Switzerland – exactly where England’s Gordon and Madueke will attack. The holders have needed extra time in three of their four knockout games and were 2-0 down against Egypt before scraping through, suggesting fatigue and fragility behind the Messi brilliance. England, meanwhile, have Jude Bellingham in generational form – six non-penalty goals including braces in consecutive knockout rounds, a feat not matched since Maradona in 1986. Tuchel’s side keep finding a way and look primed for a breakthrough.
