Thursday’s Euro2004 semi-finals previewed
Betting Radio’s David Easson can see some value in the first legs
Wales v Finland
Starting with Wales’s semi-final with Finland and it’s been a very odd week for head coach Rob Page who has 4 keepers who’ve played precisely zero first team minutes this season and Aaron Ramsey, who his club Cardiff City didn’t even know was fit.
They face a Finland side more than capable of a goal away from home, having scored in 4 out of 5 away in the regular qualifiers and the last 2 nations league ties on the road.
Couple that with both teams to score landing in Wales’ last 3 at home and you can see where we’re going with this.
Finland finished third in Group H with six wins and four defeats, with away form pretty decent. They’re worth a look in the win market with Wales looking quite so ropey and Page feeling the heat.
Both Teams to score in this one at slightly better than Evens and is definitely going in.
Poland v Estonia
Poland should be safe against Estonia, it’s just how they go about their business.
The Poles have won 4 of their last 6 by either one or two goals to nil and with the Estonians without a competitive away goal in any of their last 6, the home side to win to-nil is there for the taking, but the price is slightly better and you get a bit of leeway with Poland -1 at 4/6
2-0 is there for you at 17/4
Bosnia And Herzegovina vs Ukraine
Ukraine go to Bosnia having won two of their last three away Euro 2024 qualifiers. They are a team constantly on the road of course
Bosnia-Herzegovina lost seven of their last nine qualifiers, with the only wins coming against Liechtenstein – they conceded two or more goals in six of their last nine qualifiers
Bosnia are here due to their Nations League B winning campaign of almost two years ago. It’s a very long time for some of these players who let’s face it, were old back then
Ukraine -1 is the pick here again, with the even money outright very much backable.
So it’s Ukraine -1 in Bosnia, Both teams to score in Wales-Finland and Poland minus a goal on the handicap against Estonia. You should get just over 13/1 for that treble.
Please gamble responsibly and good luck with your selections.
