Over the years, World Cup semifinals always have been cagey, nervy affairs. But it’s impossible to see the clash between neighbors France and Belgium being anything like that, given both managers’ all-out-attack philosophy.
The play: Twelve of Belgium’s last 15 international matches have seen more than 2¹/₂ goals. And with both sides having their main strengths in attack and their main weakness on defense, the Over would be the best bet in this one at +110.
This has the potential to be a World Cup classic, and I have no confidence in either side to win in 90 minutes. In addition, at +1400, I’ll have a very small bet on a 2-2 draw exact score.
