Spain and France will play memorable football and Argentina has a worthy replacement for Messi.
The time has come for the semi-final matches of the Copa America and Euro 2024. Both tournaments cannot be ignored. We present an express bet with odds of 13.75.
Prediction for the match Spain – France
The Spaniards defeated Germany 2-1 (1-0 dc) in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024. The hosts of the tournament made mistakes in the first half, but the rest of the time they had the initiative more often and attacked more dangerously. Luis de la Fuente deserves a lot of credit. His reading of the game was once again decisive in the result. Both goals were scored by substitutes Dani Olmo and Mikel Merino. The number 10 of the national team not only distinguished himself, but also provided a great assist.
The French defeated Portugal 0-0 (5-3 on penalties) in the quarter-finals. The Tricolores had much less possession of the ball than the national team. However, they have a better proportion of dangerous attacks and more shots. There would still be some benefit from this. Les Bleus have some kind of problem with execution. Both in the group stage and in the playoffs they shoot a lot, but the ball is not going to hit the goal at all.
The Spanish national team is a great team for its beautiful game and its presence of decisive qualities. The only bad thing is that the “Red Fury” is weakened by serious personnel losses. In the second half of the match against Germany, it clearly sank. France is more stable and better equipped than the Bundestim. But I can’t believe that everything will be decided in regular time or extra time. Most likely we will have close football, a draw and a penalty shootout. You can bet on a series of 11-meter shots for 5.50.
Prediction for the Argentina – Canada match
As expected, Argentina had serious difficulties in the quarter-finals of the Copa America against a strong Ecuador. One of the worst performances was given by Lionel Messi. He did not create any dangerous moments, allowed many ball losses and did not convert the penalty after the match, hitting the crossbar with a clearance. A muscle injury hampered Messi’s performance. It is important that the team supports its leader not only with words, but also with actions.
The Argentines have lost only two of their last 60 matches, including friendlies. The Canadian team’s successes are much more modest. It is surprising that they even managed to reach the semi-finals of the Copa America. The Reds were lucky on several occasions.
In the group stage, the Canadians, of course, lost to Argentina (0:2), defeated Peru (1:0) and drew with Chile (0:0). The changes did them a great service. The Peruvians played in a minority from the 59th minute, and the Chileans played in a minority from the 27th minute. If it were not for the numerical advantage, the Reds would hardly have made it to the playoffs. In the quarter-finals, Jesse Marsh’s team defeated Venezuela 1:1 (4:3 on penalties). But the reason is the poor play of the Venezuelans.
Lautaro Martinez has become a real star in Argentina. He scored in each of the four Copa America matches and scored a brace in one of them. To be more precise, he scored five of the team’s six field goals. We propose to bet on his individual total of over 0.5 goals at 2.50.
