Welcome to the World Cup semifinals. Despite a few surprises, the four best-ranked teams made it here, and one of them will add another title to their pedigree on July 19.
The betting favorite, France, hopes to keep its unstoppable World Cup run going against its toughest rival over the past two years: Spain. The match will take place at 3:00 p.m. ET in Dallas.
Let's get into our World Cup prop picks for this semifinal match on Tuesday, July 14.
World Cup Semifinal Prop Picks
France vs Spain Prop Picks
France have scored 16 times in this World Cup, only behind Argentina's 17 goals. Spain have allowed the fewest goals in the tournament, with only one, and have scored 11 so far.
Their recent history suggests this should not be a cagey match by any means, but rather a blow-by-blow affair.
This will be their third straight semifinal match in all competitions, with Spain as the winner in the two previous ones, with both final scores going over this line: 2-1 (Euro 2024) and 5-4 (Nations League 2025).
If you wonder why the joint top goalscorer of this World Cup has great odds like this, you would have to look at Spain's spotless record in their first five matches. The first time they allowed a goal was against Belgium in their quarterfinal match.
Now, do you think France will be held scoreless here? I don't think so either. And who would you have as the guy to make it happen, via penalty, counterattack or an amazing mid-range shot? That's right.
Kylian Mbappe has scored 20 goals in 20 WC matches in his career. He has a goal or more in France's past three contests and has only failed to score in the group stage against an alternate Norway lineup with their Round of 32 spot already secured. When the heat is on, he's usually money.
If you parlay these picks, you can get a +290 payout at bet365.
