Three of the four World Cup semi-finalists will be known when Argentina and Switzerland lock horns at the Arrowhead Stadium in the early hours of Sunday and, if the drama of England’s quarter-final wasn’t enough for you, I have been delving into all the player markets to put together this 18/1 Bet Builder for the tie in Kansas City.
This is alongside our in-depth match preview of the game, and new Paddy Power customers can claim up to £50 in free Bet Builders to use on the World Cup by signing up below.
With Lionel Messi topping the charts in a wide range of attacking metrics, I have also focused on the main man himself to build a 5/1 Messi special for Saturday night’s game.
