Who will you be backing?
France vs Spain
France and Spain will compete in the first of the semi-finals on Tuesday night, and a highly-entertaining match is anticipated between two teams that have vastly contrasting styles of play.
Spain will look to dictate play and control possession, aiming to patiently craft out chances against a France team that, despite conceding only two chances, have shown signs of vulnerability in defence – although they have now kept three consecutive clean sheets.
Furthermore, Spain have lacked a clinical edge for much of their last two knockout matches, relying on late goals from substitute hero Mikel Merino, and they may not be able to afford as many missed opportunities against a France team certainly capable of punishing them.
France will look to defend deep and rely on transitions, with the speed and brilliance of Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, Michael Olise and others all already lighting up the tournament thus far, and with that talent in mind, we are backing Didier Deschamps’ side to secure the win inside 90 minutes.
However, Spain certainly have the attacking quality to cause France problems unlike they have faced in the tournament thus far, and with both teams showing signs of vulnerability despite impressive defensive records, we are expecting plenty of goals in this match, with over 1.5 goals predicted.
France & over 1.5 goals, 2.88 – 5KH7759
England vs Argentina
Old rivals England and Argentina will battle for the final spot in the final on Wednesday night, with a fiery match anticipated between the two nations.
Neither team have looked at their best consistently throughout the tournament, with both relying on their superstar quality – such as Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane and Lionel Messi – to get them through matches.
However, England have shown their combative ability throughout the tournament, particularly in the midfield department, where the powerful Elliot Anderson, Declan Rice and Bellingham have been able to outrun opponents.
Combined with a defence that has shown the ability to shut up shop when needed, including defending narrow leads against both Mexico and Norway in their last two games, the Three Lions will fancy their chances of defeating Argentina.
The midfield and defence will have to step up another level if they are to defend the incredible Messi, who is enjoying yet another sensational tournament, but with the veteran’s supporting cast often struggling to control against fast transitions, England should be able to get plenty of joy going forward.
Given England’s ability to spring quick transitions and defend deep against teams in possession, we are backing the Three Lions to go one step further and book their place in the final of the World Cup.
