France 11/10 (Total Bet) - Draw 2/1 (Extrabet
After last nights epic battle between Italy and Germany we now look forward to another all European tie between France and Portugal.
The French have arguably the toughest route to the semi-final stage after overcoming local rivals Spain and current World Champions Brazil. Portugal's progression has been in a shroud of controversy after their brutal win over Holland and an incident packed match against England.
The Portuguese have not had much luck against the French in their previous 21 meetings as they have only won five times compared to France's 15 victories.
French coach Raymond Domenech is expected to name an unchanged line up, the same team who beat Spain and Brazil. There are no injury scares or suspensions to worry about for the ex Lyon manager.
Portugal welcome back Deco and Costinha back into the team after serving their suspensions for the red cards they both received against the Dutch. Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Figo are slight doubts after training separately from the rest of the squad, but still should have some involvement this evening.
Going on past history, and performances in the last couple of games, you would have to say France are red hot favourites to make their second World Cup final in three tournaments. They have shaken off their early stutters in the group stages and look like the formidable force that they were between 1998 and 2000.
Portugal were very fortunate to progress to the final four and their luck should run out today. For a French 1-0 win the odds are 11/2 with Coral. A 2-0 win is at 8/1 with Bet 365 and 2-1 is 9/1 with Extrabet
Portugal will most likely keep the same tactics from their last couple of matches which is to frustrate and fluster their opponents with negative tactics. A 0-0 draw has odds of 11/2 with
My Prediction - France 2-0 winners at 8/1 with Bet 365.

PORTUGAL v FRANCE - ANOTHER CLASSIC NO-LOSE BET
For yesterday's Germany v Italy arbitrage preview, we guaranteed you a withdrawable cash profit, whatever the outcome of the match and it worked like a dream.
The maximum profit was realised with the draw at ninety minutes and the intention was to repeat the formula today, however, the bet was so good that one of the bookies got on our case and asked us to pull it or they would stop doing business with us.
We take a very dim view of that action and in no way will it stop us doing arbitrage as this site was set up to advise our readers how to profit from the bookies. If they don't like it, they are in the wrong business.
So here's our France v Portugal arbitrage preview and it's a little bit different as we only need to back two possible outcomes to guarantee a withdrawable cash profit, whatever the outcome of the match.
The whole system hinges on the bonuses that you get from our two chosen bookies so you can't do this if you already have an account at either firm. If that is the case, let us know and we'll try to find you an alternative bookie.
Here we go then. Follow these simple instructions for a guaranteed cash profit on France v Portugal.

You will then collect a bonus of either £100 or £12.50 making the very worst case scenario a £25.50 cash profit on the whole deal, if France make it to the final.
However, if Portugal prevail you will make a clear £101.75 profit.
There are no free bets involved in this bet. Everything that you make will be clear cash profit and is withdrawable as soon as it hits your account.

As with any offer, there are obviously terms and conditions attached, available on the relevant sites. There is nothing unusual about the t's & c's from our chosen three companies but you should have a read anyway.
If you already have one or more accounts with our chosen bookies, you won't be able to qualify for the bonuses, which is what this whole thing hinges on. But don't worry. Just drop us a quick email and we will try to find you an alternative bookie.
Finally, the odds can change and even though this is rare, you should check them before placing your bets.
Don't forget that if this doesn't work for you, we will refund any losses that you make, provided that you follow the instructions to the letter and are not already an existing account holder at either of the bookies that we have chosen.
Please feel free to mail us with any questions that you may have. We'll get back to you well before the match.
