Euro Round 1 Predictions
—
Germany vs Scotland
Germany ($1.30)
Scotland ($6.00)
Draw ($12.00)
The opening game of Euro 2024 pits hosts Germany against Scotland, in what should be an intriguing encounter. Recent major tournament disappointments have not harboured German ambition, but they know they will be in for a tough game here against Scotland. The Tartan Army will be looking to be the party poopers, but Germany should come out on top here.
Betting tip: Germany to win the match ($1.30)
Germany to win 3-1
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Hungary vs Switzerland
Hungary ($3.45)
Switzerland ($2.33)
Draw ($3.30)
Two sides that came through tough qualifying groups face off here and the carrot for both Hungary and Switzerland is to keep pace with Germany and Scotland in the group. It has been a superb resurgence in form for Hungary over the past few seasons whilst the Swiss have steadily become one of the best sides in Europe. This should be tight, with a draw potentially on the cards.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.30)
1-1 Draw
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Spain vs Croatia
Spain ($1.95)
Croatia ($4.33)
Draw ($3.65)
Another pair of sides hoping to go all the way at Euro 2024 meet here, as Spain take on Croatia. 2012 winners Spain have been ticking along nicely for the past 12 months or so and they are being backed in a few quarters to go deep at Euro 2024. Croatia meanwhile are always plucky in major tournaments and writing them off in any capacity feels very foolish. This will be a good one and both sides may end up settling for the draw in game 1.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.65)
1-1 Draw
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Italy vs Albania
Italy ($1.42)
Albania ($9.00)
Draw ($5.2)
Debutants Albania have a tall order in their first game of Euro 2024, as they take on holders Italy. It has hardly been plain sailing for the Italians in recent times, but they are always a threat in tournament football. Albania will be bang up for this and could upset the apple cart a little but this should result in a solid opening win for the Azzurri.
Betting tip: Italy to win the match ($1.42)
Italy to win 3-1
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Poland vs Netherlands
Poland ($6.75)
Netherlands ($1.58)
Draw ($4.50)
The Netherlands will be looking to kick off their Euro 2024 campaign in style, as they take on Poland. It has been a strange couple of years for Poland, who are set to be without talisman Robert Lewandowski for this one but they are never easy to beat. That said, the Netherlands have plenty of attacking talents and they should have enough about them to prevail here.
Betting tip: Netherlands to win the match ($1.58)
Netherlands to win 3-1
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Slovenia vs Denmark
Slovenia ($5.50)
Denmark ($1.75)
Draw ($3.80)
Slovenia find themselves back in major tournament big-time following a 14-year hiatus and they take on Denmark in their first game. The Slovenes did very well to qualify for Euro 2024, progressing from the same group as Denmark and they won’t fear the Danes here. With that in mind, this could be tight, and a draw could well be the outcome.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($5.50)
1-1 Draw
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Serbia vs England
Serbia ($8.00)
England ($1.48)
Draw ($4.80)
England finished as runners up at Euro 2020, something they will be looking to build upon here at Euro 2024. Serbia is their first challenge, a side that are very solid in major tournament football and who won’t give Gareth Southgate’s side an inch. This will be very tight, but England’s key men should have enough about them to get them over the line.
Betting tip: England to win the match ($1.48)
England to win 1-0
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Romania vs Ukraine
Romania ($4.20)
Ukraine ($2.10)
Draw ($3.55)
Two sides that could spring a surprise or two at Euro 2024 meet here, as Romania take on Ukraine. For Romania, reaching the latter stages of a major tournament would be a huge step in the right direction and they have a very exciting squad. Meanwhile Ukraine are becoming much more consistent at this level, and they too will feel like they can get a result here. This should be a good one, with Ukraine potentially nicking it.
Betting tip: Ukraine to win the match ($2.10)
Ukraine to win 2-1
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Belgium vs Slovakia
Belgium ($1.50)
Slovakia ($7.00)
Draw ($4.90)
Perennial underachievers Belgium will be looking to have another shot at Euro 2024 glory, as they begin against Slovakia. Whilst the golden generation has been and gone, Belgium remain a strong threat in any competition – particularly a European one. Slovakia meanwhile huffed and puffed to reach Euro 2024 but could find this a little too much against a strong Belgian outfit.
Betting tip: Belgium to win the match ($1.50)
Belgium to win 3-0
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Austria vs France
Austria ($6.50)
France ($1.51)
Draw ($4.90)
2022 World Cup runners up France will be out to finally clinch European Championship glory, as they take on Austria. France remarkably have not won the Euros since 2000 but their squad of players remains hugely impressive once again. Austria will be backed to the hilt in this one and could shock a couple of sides but France shouldn’t be one of them.
Betting tip: France to win the match ($1.51)
France to win 2-0
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Turkey vs Georgia
Turkey ($1.81)
Georgia ($5.10)
Draw ($3.60)
In one of the more open groups, Turkey and Georgia face off, with both sides chasing fast starts. Turkey came up well short at Euro 2020 but they have rebuilt since and will be a side to keep an eye on. Georgia meanwhile are competing in the finals for the first time and should be relishing the experience. This should be a good game, with Turkey perhaps most likely to prevail.
Betting tip: Turkey to win the match ($1.81)
Turkey to win 2-1
Use Code: 'GOBET500'Portugal vs Czechia
Portugal ($1.54)
Czechia ($6.50)
Draw ($4.50)
2016 winners Portugal will be hoping for a repeat here in 2024, as they open up against Czechia. Plenty of big-name stars are in action here for Portugal and they always tend to turn up when it matters most. For the Czech Republic, this will be a tall order to start but if they could pinch a result, who knows how far they could go. This should be a good game, with Portugal strong favourites to prevail.
Betting tip: Portugal to win the match ($1.54)
Portugal to win 2-0
