We saw a lot of goals when these two came on the field and this match might not be different. Belgium beat Panama 3-0, Tunisia 5-2, Japan 3-2 and Brazil 2-1 en route to the last four, and the number of talented forwards that coach Roberto Martinez has at his disposal is a frightening prospect for any opposition manager. try to find a way to stop them.

The boss of France Didier Deschamps, meanwhile, has like Paul Pogba, Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann, and this tie could be a real cracker. The French seemed the most menacing in their second-round match against Argentina, where a brace from Mbappe helped them to win 4-3.

In short, there should be goals in this one and a lot of them. You can more than double your money by falling more than 2.5 goals in it at 2.15, while less than 2.5 goals come in at the lowest price of 1.66, according to Oddsshark.

And you can get even more precision on goals scored. Less than two in the game arrives at 3:00, two or three goals are at 1.95, while more than three goals are further at 3.75.

You can also double, go for the number of goals and the result of the clash. More than 2.5 goals and a win for France are priced at 4.50, with Belgium at a slightly higher price of 5.50 to go into a game with more than 2.5 goals.

And although it is a close encounter, it is the French who are the favorites to progress towards the final. France is 2.55 to conclude the victory in 90 minutes, while you can more than triple your money by supporting Belgium to do the same, at 3.10.

You can also make a bet based simply on who will progress, no matter if it's inside 90 minutes, after extra time or after penalties. And again, it is France that arrives at the shortest price to make the final at 1.72, with Belgium at 2.10 for Sunday's final.

If Belgium is to win, however, they will turn to their talisman, Romelu Lukaku, to find the goals to send Belgium ahead. The 24-year-old has already scored four goals in the competition – more than any other Belgian has ever scored at a World Cup – and retains a chance to win the Golden Boot Award from this year.

Lukaku is the favorite to get the score sheet in this one, with Manchester United striker at just 2.50 to score anytime and 5.50 to get out of the stalemate. The French teenager Kylian Mbppe, for comparison, is at 3.10 to score at the tie, and at 7.00 to score the first or last goal of the match.

The two are still in the game to finish at the top scorer of the World Cup, but they still have some way to go to catch Harry Kane. The leader of Tottenham already has six goals and he is at 1.14 to win the individual trophy, while Lukaku, four times, is at 11:00 to double and Mbappe and Griezmann, on three goals, are at 26:00.

And it is impossible to reach a semifinal and not to start dreaming a bit of lift this trophy. France remains the absolute favorite at only 3:00 to win its second World Cup crown, while Belgium is currently at the same level as England with 3.75. Croatia, which faces England in the other semifinal, is at 5.00 to win its first World Cup crown.
