With one half of Sunday’s Euro 2024 final already decided, it is time for the Netherlands and England to step up as they continue their respective bids to make history.
For England, the pre-tournament favourites, they are chasing a first major tournament win since 1966 while the Netherlands won Euro 88 but have not been to a final since, though they did play in the 2010 World Cup final when they lost to Spain.

Daily Euro 2024 Acca
We take in the best of the action on Wednesday evening with our 19/1 Acca.
Under 1.5 Goals in Netherlands vs England
The stakes are extremely high in the Euro 2024 semi-final, and I expect both teams to start the match cautiously. The Three Lions have seen under 2.5 goals in every match in the tournament so far (excluding the 2-1 win in extra time against Slovakia), while the Netherlands have kept two clean sheets in their last four appearances. There is a small chance this clash ends in a goalless draw, making under 1.5 goals the best bet.
Dinamo Minsk to Beat Pyunik
Dinamo Minsk are in competitive form as it’s the middle of the season in Belarus, where they currently sit in first place, having won seven games across competitions. Pyunik struggle in their European games on the road, so I see great value in backing Dinamo here.
Draw in Uruguay vs Colombia
Both sides are having an impressive tournament so far. Uruguay won all three matches in the group stages and then eliminated Brazil on penalties. After collecting seven points in the group, Colombia demolished Panama 5-0 in the quarterfinal, extending their unbeaten run to 27 games across competitions. Nothing separates these two teams at the moment, so I am expecting extra time in Charlotte.

Both Teams to Score - Yes
It has not been a tournament full of goals by any stretch. England have seen just seven goals (in 90 minutes) across five matches while games involving the Netherlands have been a little more lively with 14 goals in the same amount of time. Both sides have been involved in three games in which both teams have scored and I think that will continue in this game, which I think will go the distance.
Under 3.5 Goals
The way the numbers stack up, this is a pretty obvious one I think. The Dutch have scored nine goals and played some decent attacking football, while England are happy to contain and stay solid at the back while waiting on moments of magic from their attackers. There won’t be much between the two sides at all and I’d be surprised if it is decided in 90 minutes, but even if it is not it is hard to see more than a goal between the two sides.
Cody Gakpo Over 2 Shots on Target
Gakpo has been one of the standout players of the tournament, and a popular feature for us on our daily bet builders. He has favoured a position out on the left for the Netherlands and that enables him to cut in and shoot on his stronger foot, as he showed against Romania.
Turkey kept him relatively quiet with one shot on target and one shot off target, but so far through the tournament he is averaging 1.66 shots on target per 90 minutes. He might find it a little harder against a stingy England defence, but with Bukayo Saka likely to start at right wing-back and Kyle Walker not at his best, Gakpo could have some joy down that flank.
