Netherlands v England Betting Tips: Euro 2024 Semi Finals | 10/07/2024

Will Luke Shaw start at left back? Does that round peg in a round hole sort out the whole balance of the team? Will Foden and Bellingham relent with their arm waving when they don’t get the ball passed to them at every opportunity?

Let’s not worry about those things for the next five minutes, the rest of the country has been debating them since Trent’s penalty hit the back of the net on Saturday night. Instead, let’s look towards the semi-final against the Dutch in terms of finding a value bet.

The Dutch have a better 90-minute record than the Three Lions

The game will be played at the famous Westfalenstadion, Dortmund but there will be no Yellow Wall come Wednesday night. There will, however, be die-hard support from both sets of fans though and there won’t be an empty seat in the house.

In terms of the main match markets, the bookmakers look to have things about right. If forced, I would say the Dutch probably offer a little more value than the English. They have shown the ability to score multiple times in 90 minutes at the tournament (4 from 5), something Gareth Southgate’s men haven’t managed once over the same number of games.

Extend Euro 2024 player bets beyond 90 min with Bet365

Bookmakers compete so hard for business during these major events, which can often benefit us as punters. The time-consuming part is taking the time to know what offers are in place, study stats and compare the odds. On player-related markets, Bet365 are offering you the chance to still receive a payout if your bet is losing at full time, but goes on to win in extra time.

Here’s how it works:

If your bet wins during extra time, your returns will be paid as bet credits. If it wins during the 90 minutes, you’ll win a cash payout as normal - easy.

This applies to all player markets, including Player Shots, Player Shots on Target, Player Fouls, Player Passes and so on. With these bets in general, and particularly with this promotion, you should be targeting a player who is likely to play the full 120 minutes if the game is tied at full-time.

Why this is an ideal promotion in a tournament of draws

Given the likelihood of draws when it comes to international tournament knock-out stages, especially in Euro 2024, this promotion caught my attention. Since we’ve entered the knock-out stages of Euro 2024, five of 12 games have gone to extra time.

So provided your selected player(s) remain on the pitch, you get an extra 30 minutes to get your bets up with this Bet365 promotion.

Out top tip: Bellingham to have over 1.5 shots at 6/4 with Bet365

We’ve identified a bet here with a player who will likely remain on the pitch for the duration of regular time and extra time. The bet would have landed in their last 16 and quarter-final matches. We are putting our faith in the best player of La Liga last season.

We put our faith in Jude

Bellingham to have over 1.5 shots in the match at odds of 6/4 with Bet365.

Given England’s last two matches have resulted in extra time, and given Jude’s last-gasp heroics against Slovakia, we’re backing the Real Madrid superstar to come up with the goods again. Even if he, and England, might leave it a little bit too late for comfort.
