Top picks for Wednesday's matches: Accumulator Tip for July 05

The semi-finals of the Euro U21 event are underway, and many top teams still have a chance to book their spot in the final, including England, Spain, and Ukraine. Al Ahly, who won the Africa Champions League last year, will play at home against El Ismaily. But below, I look at how the teams are expected to perform and make a prediction for each of these games. 

Israel U21 vs England U21

Due to the fact that Israel U21 are one of the weaker sides in this competition, England U21 should have little trouble winning this encounter. After playing each other in the group stage and the English team winning easily by a score of 2-0, the Israel U21 team does not appear to be a standout side, looking at how they made it out of the group stage and also being lucky on penalties against Georgia. Because of their impressive track record in defense and their formidable offensive capabilities, I will be rooting for the England U21 team to come out on top in both halves of this match. 

W2/W2

Al Ahly vs El Ismaily

In spite of the fact that they were held to a tie in their most recent match against Future FC, I believe that Al Ahly has a chance to get back to their winning ways in this match as they are continuing their pursuit of the Egyptian League. On the other hand, El Ismaily have been having a hard time as of late, and the fact that they haven't picked up a single win in their last four games will require them to perform better in this match. In the meantime, they also believe that they can at least hold Al Ahly to a draw because of how well they've played against Al Ahly in the past. However, I am not swayed by the events that have occurred in their past; rather, I believe that Al Ahly appeared to be in good shape, which ought to enable them to win this match. As a result, there is a strong possibility that Al Al Ahly will prevail in both halves of the match. 

W1/W1

Spain U21 vs Ukraine U21

It is anticipated that this encounter will be tough, similar to their previous meeting in the group stage, which ended in a 2-2 tie for both teams. Despite the fact that Spain U21 appear to be the superior side on paper and the fact that bettors give them the edge, the team did not really look spectacular enough in their match against Switzerland U21 in the quarterfinals. On the other hand, Ukraine U21 has been the team that has had the most surprising performance so far in this competition. Their performance against France U21, in which they came back from behind to win, is a testament to what we can anticipate from them in this match. In spite of this, I believe that we will see attacking play from both teams in this match because both squads have improved significantly in front of the net since the beginning of the group stage.
