Betting suggestion:

This semi-final match of the 2018 World Cup puts face-to-face teams of great technical and tactical quality, however, it is anticipated that France will dominate part of the game and create more danger in comparison to the opponent.

Having said this and taking into account also the defensive failures of the two teams, betting on the market "both teams to score - yes" is a good option.
