The 2018 World Cup in Russia has been the best tournament in recent memory, and we still have a few games left to play before we decide who will be crowned champion. We are down to the final four now, with the semi-final games set to go on Tuesday and Wednesday. The final four is a bit of a surprise in that it features two teams who can certainly be considered dark horses. With the last 4 teams now set and in place, we know what the betting odds for each at MyBookie Sportsbook, which is what we are going to take a look at today.
They then disposed of Uruguay 2-0 in the quarter-finals, a great result when you consider that the South Americans had only given up 1 goal in their previous 4 World Cup games. France is in as the favorites now but have a tough semi-final match against Belgium ahead of them. v
They have won every game they have played to this point, although they did get a scare in the Round of 16, needing to come from 0-2 down to beat Japan 3-2 with the last kick of the ball. This is a team with a devastating counterattack, which they will try to employ against France.
They started out with a penalty shootout win over Colombia in the Round of 16 before beating Sweden 2-0 in the quarter-finals, thanks in large part to some goalkeeping heroics from Jordan Pickford.
While you can argue that they have had some luck to get through, the reality is that they are continually finding ways to win, so they should certainly not be discounted. It will be England that they see in the next round, with a trip to the final going to the victor.
