England comes into this semifinal with momentum, having found a way to piece things together after a shaky start to the tournament. Jude Bellingham has become a standout player, now tied with Harry Kane for the lead on the team with six goals. Both are still in the conversation for the Golden Boot.
Argentina’s goal is to get the ball to Lionel Messi, one of the best players ever, and position him to score as much as possible. He has eight goals in the World Cup so far and is a key player to watch in this semifinal.
Betting Angle
Lionel Messi is at plus money to score, making this a compelling betting angle. England has allowed a goal in all but two of its World Cup games, so it’s not an untouchable team. The over 2.5 is also a good look, as both teams have capable scorers and sets.
