Both teams have already exceeded expectations by reaching this stage, so they'll play without extra pressure and with maximum commitment. Given the emotional intensity and high stakes, the match promises to be thrilling, despite the cost of mistakes. Moreover, head-to-head encounters between these teams have traditionally been high-scoring affairs: at least two goals have been scored in their last seven meetings in a row. Therefore, betting on over 1.5 goals seems the most reasonable choice.
