England U21 v Israel U21

England saw off Israel 2-0 in the group stage and Lee Carsley's Young Lions can back up that result in a low-scoring semi-final against an Israeli side who have failed to score in four of their last seven internationals.

Spain U21 v Ukraine U21

Ukraine impressively defeated France 3-1 in the quarter-finals and, with Mykhailo Mudryk looking more like the player Chelsea stumped up for in January, they can give Spain a scare. These two played out a 2-2 draw in the group stage and both teams to score bets have landed in Spain's last two matches.

New York City FC v Charlotte FC

New York City FC and Charlotte FC are just outside the MLS playoff places with a run of one win in 12 games really hindering New York's post-season ambitions. Charlotte have lost three of their last ten but have a good record against New York City and are taken to avoid defeat in the Big Apple.

Racing Club v San Lorenzo

San Lorenzo sit third in Argentina's top flight but don't travel particularly well and are worth opposing when they hit the road to face an in-form Racing team who have won three of their last four matches in all competitions.
