Euro Cup Weekend Must Bet Matches
Switzerland +255 vs Italy +141
Saturday, June 29th, 2024
Why bet Switzerland versus Italy
The odds make the Swiss a massive overlay.
Switzerland had the luxury of coasting after destroying Hungary 3-1 in their first match.
Even though they could have sat back and relaxed, the Swiss played Scotland and Germany to 1-1 draws.
Sure, the Germans rested their starters. But the Swiss still managed to give up a single goal to Germany.
In fact, no team has scored more than 1 goal versus Switzerland during the tournament.
Not only that, but Italy has struggled to find goals at Euro 2024.
Why bet Italy against Switzerland
The Azzurri not only beat Albania 2-1 but also hung with Spain in a 1-0 loss.
The Spanish are the best team so far at the 2024 Euros.
So the fact the Italians lost by a single goal tells us Italy is the better team in a matchup versus Switzerland.
Final Analysis: Italy gets it done
The Swiss won’t make it easy, but Italy is a smart squad. El Rojo dominated the Azzurri.
Still, Italy managed to give up a single goal, and it was an own goal, against the Spanish.
What it tells us is that Italy will play the right strategy.
The right strategy should include a regulation goal that sends the Italians to the quarterfinals.
Euro 2024 Pick: Italy
Germany -1.0 +105 vs Denmark +1.0 -133
Saturday, June 29th, 2024
Why bet Germany versus Denmark
No team has impressed as much during the tournament as the home side Germans.
Maybe, the Spanish, but Spain doesn’t have a dominant 4-goal victory over an opponent the way Germany does.
The Germans dusted Scotland 5-1 in their first match, which is why Deutschland could rest their starters versus Switzerland.
Niklas Fullkrug, Ilkay Gudogan, and Jamal Musiala are playing as well as they have in any international competition in the past four seasons.
Why bet Denmark against Germany
Germany will want to run and play aggressive soccer, which means they could play into Denmark’s hands.
The Danes are one of the best technically proficient teams at the Euros.
Denmark is all about defense. The Danes won’t take chances. Since Germany will, counter opportunities will be available.
Finaly Analysis: Germany wins by a goal
Germany should win the match, but Denmark is the play against the spread line.
The Danes’ defense won’t allow more than a single goal. So a 1-0 victory is the likeliest outcome.
If Germany presses too much, Cristian Eriksen and Denmark will make Germany pay.
So don’t blindly bet Germany on the moneyline.
Euro 2024 Pick: Denmark +1.0
England -233 vs Slovakia +740
Why bet Slovakia versus England
Most of the favorites offer -1.25 to -1.5 to beat their overmatched teams. But the spread line in England versus Slovakia is a half a goal.
That tells us that oddsmakers and soccer handicappers have soured on the boring English.
What’s wrong with England? Everything. The English aren’t playing with pace.
Slovakia could take advantage.
Why bet England against Slovakia
Eventually, Gareth Southgate’s team is going to get it going.
When they do, England will breakout with a huge 2 to 3 goals victory.
There’s no better chance to breakout of the goal scoring slump than against Slovakia, a team that on paper has no chance against England.
Final Analysis: England wins another boring match
The match will be boring, like all of England’s matches at the 2024 Euro Cup. But the English will prevail.
They’re much better than Slovakia. Also, Jude Bellingham is due to dominate.
So expect England to walk off the pitch a 1-0 victory in a snorer.
Euro 2024 Pick: England
Spain -1.75 -114 vs Georgia +1.75 -110
Why bet Spain versus Georgia
No team at EURO 2024 has played as well as the Spanish. El Rojo started their Euro Cup quest by pummeling Croatia 3-0.
Then in their second match, Spain dominated Italy.
At full strength, Spain is proving to be the best team at Euro 2024.
Why bet Georgia against Spain
Georgia may not beat the Spanish straight up, in fact, the chances of that happening are almost zero. But the Georgians offer a healthy -110 payout for +1.75 goals.
Backing Georgia means grabbing the +1.75 and getting paid $100 for every $110 we risk should Spain only beat Georgia 1-0.
Those odds are definitely worth considering.
Final Analysis: Spain beats Georgia 3-0
The Spanish are too deep for Georgia to have any success.
This match should be over by halftime if El Rojo decides to push the attack.
There’s a good chance Spain scores a 3-0 victory before the seventieth minute because Georgia was lucky to make it this far and the individual matchups are absolutely in favor of the Spanish.
Euro 2024 Pick: Spain -1.75
France -110 vs Belgium +340
Monday, July 1st, 2024
Why bet Belgium versus France
Kevin De Bruyne and his mates started their 2024 Euro Cup quest off on a bad note.
Belgium controlled 60.4% possession. Also, 3 Romelu Lukaku goals got called back. After the loss, Belgium regained their footing with a 2-0 victory over fellow Round of 16 squad Romania. Belgium only required a draw, which they got, in the game versus the Ukraine.
Why bet France against Belgium
France has yet to play their best. The French played well against Austria, but the 1-0 game wasn’t up to France’s level.
The two subsequent draws against the Netherlands and Poland were definitely below Fance’s usual level of play.
Kylian Mbappe has had trouble with the mask that’s protecting his broken nose.
Mbappe played against Poland with the mask and has been training with it on his face.
So by Monday, Kylian should be comfortable enough to be his usual dominating self.
Final Analysis: Belgium knocks out favored France
The Belgians have moved into a decent stride while France has yet to get going.
The issue France has is that they may never get going at Euro 2024.
Mbappe has lost time due to the broken nose while both the attack and defense has struggled.
The two draws were enough for France to make it to the knockout stage.
A draw won’t be enough to get by a motivated Belgian side that has begun to put forth their best foot. Belgium wins.
Euro 2024 Pick: Belgium
