Pulsating Semifinals See Portugal and Spain Progress
Portugal came from behind against Germany to seal their place in the final with goals from Francisco Conceicao and the evergreen Cristiano Ronaldo. Spain, inspired by Lamine Yamal, were 5-1 up against France on 67 minutes. The French then threatened to take the match to extra time with a stirring comeback which saw a final score of 5-4.
We predict an exciting final with a number of betting opportunities. Here are the bets we selected with bet365 from the early pre-match odds.

Bet 1: Spain to Lift the Trophy (Odds 4/9)
Spain are the current favourites for the 2026 World Cup, and they threatened to blow away the current second favourites, France, in the semi-final. La Roja are full of quality and the match should have been over once they went 4-0 up.
Spain though, are a young team and they let the French back into it in the closing stages. Portugal is a good side and we expect them to push Spain all of the way. And with Cristiano Ronaldo still capable of chipping in with crucial goals they cannot be written off.
While we are not 100% confident that the Spanish will settle the match inside 90 minutes, we believe that they will have too much for Portugal and find a way to win. Even if it takes extra-time or penalties.
Bet 2: BTTS: Yes (Odds 4/7)
Spain plays on the front foot and are full of goals. Lamine Yamal is in unstoppable form and is, rightly, taking many of the plaudits. But this Spain team is not a one-man-band. They have a midfield capable of creating chances, with the likes of Pedri and Fabian Ruiz available, and options such as Nico Williams and Dani Olmo in attack. They play with attacking full-backs and are very much set up to attack and score goals. Though the France game proved that they will still give the opposition a chance at the other end.
This is something you can ill-afford to do against Portugal. Ronaldo is still a massive threat and if the in-form Conceicao is selected then he will cause the Spanish rearguard problems.
Both teams have scored in five out of Spain’s last six matches and with Portugal this has happened in four of the last six. We think there is a strong chance of goals at both ends.
Bet 3: Over 3.0 Goals (Odds 13/8)
We see this coming home for similar reasons as our second bet and we think that the bookies are slightly out on this one. Out of Portugal’s last six matches two of them have featured more than three goals, with one producing exactly three. It has though been feast and famine with two goal fests in the home matches against Denmark and Poland.
Spain’s last six games have seen four produce over three goals and two exactly three. We think that three goals will be topped inside 90 minutes on Sunday.
