The bookmakers are are finding it difficult to work out who will win the semi-final between France and Germany at Euro 2016.

Hosts France are 9-5 with BetVictor to come out on top at Stade Velodrome in 90 minutes, while the Germans have been chalked up at 19-10 and the draw is 2-1.

Joachim Low’s side are now the 13-8 tournament favourites, despite needing penalties to reach the last four. In contrast, the French spanked Iceland 5-2 yet are 7-4 in the outright market.

The Germans have looked solid at the back, conceding just one goal, and France’s main strength is in attack – no team at the tournament has scored more than their 11 goals.

A French win in 90 minutes and less than four goals being scored is 85-40 and a German victory without them conceding is 17-5.

Antoine Griezmann’s goal against Iceland made him the top scorer at the Euros with four and you can get 18-1 on him netting before the 15th minute. He is also 4-1 to score in a France win.

Another penalty shoot-out win for the Germans is 9-1 and BetVictor offer 85-40 on Thomas Muller scoring his first goal of the tournament during the game (90 minutes only).
