TheUEFA European Championship 2020Semi-Finals rollon, to be played fromTuesday, July 6,to Wednesday, July 7. These clashespit four soccer teams with very different histories against each other. In the first one,Italy will come against Spain,while in the other one,England will practically hostsurprise entry Denmark. Both matchupswill be played at the Wembley Stadium in London.

The Azzurribeat Austria in the Round of 16, and Belgium andin the Euro 2020 Quarter-Finals, both with a result of 2-1. Spain managed to be the better side in the Croatia duel 5-3, and then against Switzerland 2-1.On the other hand,England clashed with Germany (2-0) in the last 16, and emerged victorious against Ukraine 4-0. Probably the warmest surprise here, Denmark cruised past Wales 4-0 and triumphed 2-1 over the Czech Republic in the previous phase.

This matchdayprovides an opportunity for the bettor to play around with parlays, picks in the over/under, or goalscorers.Here are some bettingpredictions to consider when placing a bet on these Euro 2020 Semi-Finals fixtures.

Italy vs Spain betting picks (Tuesday, July 6)

Spainare +200underdogs, and while they have not lost once in their last five games in the tournament, the oddsmakersdon’t favor La Roja. The Spanish team have two draws in the Group Stage, and another two in the Knockout Stagesthat eventually resulted intwo victories after extra time/penaltiessession. Italy are also yet to record their first loss, having grabbed four triumphs, and one draw-turned-win after extra time.An interesting fact is that Italy have fewer wins than Spain in their history of clashes.

However, in spite of that, FanDuel believe that Roberto Mancini’s sidewill finally reach their first UEFA Euro final since 2012,as they are at +140. In fact, if they do that, they will take revenge onSpain for the Euro 2012 Final defeat, and also deny themthe chance of possibly grabbing theirrecord fourth European Championship.Considering the fact that Italy have been unbeaten since August 10, 2018,betting that the game ends in a 3-1win for the Italians could be a riskybet, at +2300, but could later prove rewarding.

A$100 bet could earn the bettor $2,300. If you got to pick anyone to put the ball in the back of the net in this game look no further than Ciro Immobile or Alvaro Morata, as the Lazio star is at +500to bethe first one to score, while the odds of the Juventus striker opening the score of the game are set at +600.

FanDuel see England as the heavyfavorites in this match, considering are by the better sidein head-to-head games,having celebrated a victory on12 occasionsso far; Denmarkhave grabbed a triumphfour timesto this day, and the remainingfive gameshave ended in a draw. Gareth Southgate’s players failed to impress with their playing style and skills during the Group Stage despite coming out as the best side from Group D. The Three Lionsnetted only two goals, one in the win over Croatia, and the other one in the victory over the Czech Republic. They also disappointingly drew 0-0 with Scotland. However, when they got put to the test, the Three Lions certainly made sure to deliver.

Thanks to the 2-0 triumph over the 2014 World Cup champions Germany, the English players have kept the dream of “bringing it home”alive. Prior to holding out on hopes, they will have to overcome the incredibly motivated Denmark squad. After the two initial losses and the shock of ChristianEriksen’s reported heart attack episode, Denmarkhave rehabilitated and in the wings of all those events, flying right into the Semis.
