James Mackie looks to the best Opta stats for Tuesday and Wednesday's semi-final matches at Euro 2024 and picks out two tips.


Netherlands v England Superboost

England are in the semi-final of Euro 2024, and Betfair are offering up another SuperBoost on Wednesday!

Liverpool and Netherlands defender Virgil Van Dijk can now be backed to commit 1 or more fouls vs England at 1/1 - up from 1/3!

Virgil Van Dijk has committed more fouls than any other player at Euro 2024 (12), at an average of 2.4 per 90.

Indeed, he has made a foul in each of the Netherlands' five games at the tournament so far, and committed 2 or more in four of those - 2 v Poland, 1 v France, 3 v Austria, 4 v Romania, 2 v Turkey.

England (73) are the most fouled team at Euro 2024, whilst both Harry Kane (10) and Jude Bellingham (11) sit in the top five most fouled players at the tournament.

Spain v France - 20:00 - Tuesday

Lamine Yamal the creative wizard for Spain

The Opta Stat:

"Lamine Yamal has created 14 chances for his Spain teammates at EURO 2024, the most by a Spaniard at a
major tournament since Xavi at EURO 2012 (25). He has three assists, with no Spanish player ever
registering more at a single European Championship tournament, while his 14 chances created is the most
by a teenager at a major tournament Opta has on record (since 1966 for World Cup, 1980 for EURO)."


Netherlands v England - 20:00 - Wednesday

Harry Kane to be England's big game player

The Opta Stat:

"Coming into the EURO 2024 semi-finals, no player has scored more knockout stage goals in the
competition's history than England's Harry Kane (5, level with Antoine Griezmann). Kane scored in the
semi-final of EURO 2020 against Denmark; only two players have ever scored at this stage of consecutive
UEFA European Championships - Viktor Ponedelnik and Valentin Ivanov, both for USSR in 1960/1964."
