EURO 2024 Preview Futures & Picks

My book offer +0.75

ITALY V ALBANIA

So far its been a goal fest and a chalky one at that at these Euros. Italy won their last head to head game 3-1 in Albania. I already have Albania to finish last in the group and I don't trust the Italians to score plenty. Thinking a 1-0 or 2-0 win for the Azzuri.

4. Total goals UNDER 2.5 @ 1.80/-125 (1u) Pinnacle

LEAN

Italy win to nil @ 1.72/-139

Stay hot.

POLAND V NETHERLANDS

Poland will be without Lewandowski & Milik their two top strikers. The Netherlands have their injury concerns but not much so as to make a difference in this match. These sides have met 4 times head to head recently, with the Netherlands winning 3 and 1 game ending as draw. The Chalk fest continues at the Euros;

5. Netherlands -1 @ 2.05/+105 (1u) Pinnacle

LEAN

Total Goals UNDER 2.5 @ 1.91/-110

Good luck

SLOVENIA V DENMARK

These sides have played each other twice before just last year in the Nations league with Denmark winning 2-1 at home and a draw in Slovenia 1-1. three of the last 5 games for both have gone under 2.5. I'm thinking a 1-0 or 0-0 score line here.

6. Total Goals UNDER 2 @ 2.20/+120 (1u) Pinnacle

LEAN

1st half Correct Score 0-0 @ 2.50/+150

 Card fest, chalk fest, and over fest...does it continue?

 Duhh.

ENGLAND V SERBIA

England are my pick to win it all so lets hope the chalky group stage fest continues. I'm not big on Serbia and man for man they don't match up at all to the English. Daniele Orsato is the referee for this game and he likes to give out PK's, so I would not be surprised if England score one and their main penalty taker is Kane. You can take him at anytime goal scorer but I like the PK prop better.

7. England win to Nil @ 2.25/+125 (1u) Pinnacle

LEAN

England to score a PK @ 5.00/+400

DJ-just happy that I got the push on the under 2 there; Slovenia deserved the point fighting back but it could have been 3 to nil by 60 minutes...

UKRAINE V ROMANIA

I already have futures backing Ukraine and fading Romania so I'm keeping it simple here just backing the better team. Romania has failed to score a single goal at home in their past 2 matches versus the likes of Bulgaria and Liechtenstein. 

8. Ukraine ML @ 1.96/-104 (2u) Pinnacle

LEAN

TEAM to score Only Ukraine @ 3.00/+200

BOL @DiamondJack 

*i’m sure you’re well aware, but those were friendlies and today’s match obviously isn’t at home. point being, Romania wasn’t starting an optimal lineup against Lichtenstein/Bulgaria

BELGIUM V SLOVAKIA

Belgium have now gone 5 out of the last 6 games without conceding a goal. The only side to score versus Belgium in that timespan was England. We have yet to see the dreaded 0-0 score line at these Euros so just in case;

9. Belgium Clean Sheet YES @ 2.00/+100 (1u) Bet365

LEAN

Belgium win to nil @ 2.37/+137

We're playing with a fairly new and untested back 3 DJ, I got it at 2-1, 3-1 for Belgium....

@Ganda

 Lucky break for Slovakia

FRANCE V AUSTRIA

Both sides are in very good form however I just don't see France dropping points here. The last two head to head games France wins 2-0 at home and ties 1-1 in Austria in the Nations league. The referee in this match is Spaniard Jesus Gil Manzano and he calls a penalty in 29% of the games he officiates. 

10.  France -1  @ 2.10/+110 (1u) Pinnacle

LEAN

France to score a PK @ 5.50/+450

Who cares about euro anyway ? Group A is a joke ..

There was an announced FIFA referee initiative to essentially swallow the whistle in the penalty box for this tourney. That the foul has to be called initially and blatant. Just fyi.

One thing is clear ; Belgium are the golden " lost opportunity " generation...  

What a waste of an incredible generation of talent.  That backfield is atrocious of today ( and likely the rest of the tournament)...
