At this stage of the competition, the round of 16 is almost complete as more teams have booked their slots while some others have bowed out early from the competition. Following this round of games, the competition will begin to heat up properly as we could start to see ‘big’ sides take on each other and perhaps predict who could go on to win the competition.
Before we get carried away, a lot of betting opportunities are still on the cards and we’ll be here to provide the best betting tips and predictions to go with from all of today’s action.
Slovakia vs Spain Betting Predictions
Spain to win
As we approach the final stages of the group stage in this competition, some teams are in danger of finding themselves out of the competition. One of such teams is Spain but the silver lining is that they have their destiny in their hands. They very well know that nothing but victory over Slovakia will guarantee their progress to the next stage. If there’s ever a time for Spanish players to turn up and attain victory, it will be now. Bet9ja has 1.21 odds, Bet365 has 1.18, and 1xBet has 1.23.
Over 2.5 Goals
Four of the last six meetings between these two countries have produced over 2.5 goals and we’re expecting more of the same on Wednesday. Spain must go all out for the win against Slovakia and we know they can score goals as three of their last six matches have produced at least three goals and Spain have won on each of those occasions. Three of Slovakia’s last six fixtures have also produced over 2.5 goals, so you can see why we’re confident that at least three goals will be scored in this game. Bet9ja and Bet365 have 1.66 and 1xBet has 1.68.
Both teams to score – Yes
Both teams have scored in five of the last six head-to-heads between Slovakia and Spain, and we have backed both teams to find the back of the next in their latest encounter as well. Four of Slovakia’s last six outings have seen both teams score while three of Spain’s last six matches have ended the same way, which is why we’re predicting goals in this game for both countries. Bet9ja has 2.60, Bet365 has 2.59, and 1xBet has 2.65.
Sweden vs Poland Betting Predictions
Sweden to win
All hands point towards Sweden to get a victory in this match against Poland. Using their past five encounters as a guide, Sweden boast a clean bill record over Poland, winning five of their last five matches. Going by their last five matches with other teams, Sweden tops again as they have won four out of their last five games, drawing just one match which translates into an unbeaten streak for them. Poland on the other hand, have failed to win a single match in their last five matches against other teams. Bet9ja has 2.80 odds, Bet365 has 2.90, and 1xBet has 2.86.
Both teams to score – Yes
Despite Poland not winning any of their last five games, they have managed to grab at least a goal in all of those outings. Likewise in all of those matches, they have conceded at least a goal. Sweden similarly have scored at least a goal in their last five matches except for one that ended in a goalless draw. As long as any of the scores, the other is bound to score too. Bet9ja has 1.90 odds, Bet365 has 1.83 and 1xBet has 2.00.
Over 2.5 Goals
We already established the fact that there’s a high tendency that both clubs are going to register at least a goal each in this fixture. It’s also important to remember that both countries will be going all out to get a victory in this game to stand a chance of attaining qualification to the next stage in this competition. To do that, there have to be goals and both Poland and Sweden have quality players who can produce goals. Bet9ja has 2.22, Bet365 has 2.20, and 1xBet has 2.28.
Germany vs Hungary Betting Predictions
Germany to win
Germany found themselves in the deadliest group in this competition and indeed, it has had a toll on them. As it stands, the possibility of them qualifying to the next round is still uncertain. However, they have the advantage over Hungary as they have won four out of their last five encounters against them, losing only one. They are in a position where getting one point from a draw might not be enough to get them through. They will need all three points against Hungary. Bet9ja has 1.19, Bet365 has 1.16, and 1xBet has 1.22.
Over 2.5 Goals
In their last three out of five encounters together, they have both managed to produce three or more goals. Germany are also known to be a high-scoring side, having scored 11 goals in their last three matches against other teams. They will need all the goals they can get in this fixture in case qualification boils down to goal difference. Bet9ja has 1.40, Bet365 has 1.38, and 1xBet has 1.43.
Portugal vs France Betting Predictions
France wins or Draw
As stated earlier, Group F which features both Portugal and France is indeed the toughest group in the competition and as such, no team is guaranteed qualification yet. Portugal would have proven to be a tough opponent for France but their performance in the last match against Germany have left them exposed and France will look to capitalize on this to win or at least get a point from this match as that will be just enough to take them to the next stage. Bet9ja has 1.24, Bet365 has 1.25, and 1xBet has 1.28.
Both teams to score- Yes
Past matches have made us realize that even if you beat Portugal, you can hardly stop them from scoring. We are certain that no matter the outcome of this fixture, both teams should at least grab a goal each. Bet9ja has 1.90, Bet365 has 1.83, and 1xBet has 2.01.
Over 2.5 Goals
In Portugal’s last five matches, there have been three or more goals at full time, and in all of those matches the total number of goals that were score sums up to 17. France’s past results haven’t produced as many goals as that of Portugal but even theirs sums up to the total of 10 goals. Both teams love to score and we are hoping to witness a goal rush in this fixture. Bet9ja has 2.32, Bet365 has 2.30, and 1xBet has 2.38.
Anytime Goal-scorer
Alvaro Morata
Although Spain have had a below-par performance so far in the competition, Alvaro Morata has at least got off the mark as he found himself on the score-sheet in their last match. We are expecting that he will another one or even more in their final group stage fixture as he would be looking to fire them into the knockout stages. Bet9ja has 2.20 and Bet365 has 1.80.
Alexander Isak
Real Sociedad striker Alexander Isak has yet to really catch fire for the Swedes, but he’s on 19 goals for the season and will want to add to that in Russia against a side who will give him opportunities. He’s a top shout to score his first goal of the Finals. Bet9ja has 3.30 and Bet365 has 3.40.
Robert Lewandowski
Robert Lewandowski did bag his first goal at Euro 2020 against the Spanish and the Bayern Munich goal machine understandably favorites to score again in St Petersburg. Back the in-form and ever-green forward to continue to do what he know how to do best. Bet9ja has 2.40 and Bet365 has 2.20.
Serge Gnabry
Gnabry has been quiet so far in this competition. Even as his team demolished the Portuguese 4-2 in their last match, he was unable to get a goal to his name until he was subbed off in the 87th minute for Leroy Sane. He should be looking to turn all of these around by getting into scoring ways in this next match. Bet9ja has 2.00 and Bet365 has 1.83.
Antoine Griezmann
France suffered an unexpected hiccup in their campaign as they were held to a draw by Hungary. However, Griezmann as expected got himself on the score-sheet. We are hopeful he will try again in this fixture as his efforts in the last game went to a partial waste. Bet9ja has 3.25 and Bet365 has 3.10.
Cristiano Ronaldo
So far, he has proven to be indeed a sensational player as he has scored three goals in the competition, making him one of the three highest goal scorers in this competition. Knowing Ronaldo, we are certain he will look to shove off the other two players in the goal-scoring log by scoring more goals. His team also needs him to fire them into the knockout stages of the competition and will be looking forward to him getting those goals. Bet9ja has 3.00 and Bet365 has 2.75.
