For the first semi, na Germany go face Portugal for the Allianz Arena. You sabi say Germany don collect win from Portugal five times for 19 years? Na wah! Last time wey dem play, Germany carry the day with 4-2 for Euro 2020. E no go shock if dem score plenty goals again this time.
According to betting people, make you shine your eye on the Over 2.5 goals market. Na for head-to-head data dem talk am, because e don dey show say four goals dey enter net for four of dia last five meetings. Plus, Germany no fit keep clean sheet for dia last three competitive games. E mean say both sides dey score anytime wey dem meet.
Omo, make we no forget say fatigue go dey waka with defenders abeg. After all the busy season for 2024/25, e go make sense to bet on the Overs and Both Teams to Score (Yes) odds.
Meanwhile, for Stuttgart, the second semi-final go dey hot as Spain go face France. Na dem two current favorites for Ballon d’Or dey on ground – Lamine Yamal from Spain and Ousmane Dembele from France. Yamal don score once in two games for La Roja, while Dembele also don see net once in two matches for Les Bleus. Na serious competition be this.
We also dey expect to see Kylian Mbappe from France on the pitch, but e don dey struggle, only two goals in last 13 games for him country. Based on the way dem dey score before, betting on Unders fit still dey valid, as six out of the last eight times wey France and Spain meet, na less than two goals don enter net.
But no be now we fit rule out goals completely! Spain don score first for dia last seven games, and France don do am for seven out of nine matches. Both teams sabi start strong, so make you ready for show.
Betting markets dey wonder how come Over 2.5 goals don dey priced against dem, considering say Spain score 10 goals for dia last two-legged quarter-final, and France don nab four. E mean say dem dey undervalue the possibility by at least 10%! Expect plenty goals for semi-finals, but e fit no be so for di final, as past matches don show say final dey dey cagey.
Of the three finals wey don happen, two finish with under two goals. Portugal only manage to score one goal to beat Netherlands for 2019 final, and we see say last year final end without any goal at all before Spain win on penalties against Croatia. Only 2021 final wey see three goals, and dem all land after 64 minutes. Na so every Nations League Final sabi dey bend gree!
