The weekend games concludes a host of games to continue the first round of qualifiers for the Euros. The teams featuring today have some history facing each other and we expect some drama.
We have carefully curated the best options from the fixtures this week and we are certain of a near hit after today’s predictions
Straight Wins.
In their first game since losing in the quarterfinals of the Qatar World Cup, England defeated Italy 2-1 in their initial Euro 2024 qualifying match. They may now advance by defeating Ukraine. Declan Rice’s first-half goal and Harry Kane’s historic penalty, which became him the nation’s leading scorer all-time, helped England storm out of the gate in Naples. Ukraine played poorly in last years competition. They easily defeated underdog Armenia 3-0 and 5-0, but only earned one point from two games against Scotland and four points from two games against Ireland.
Having lost their playoff match against Wales, they were also eliminated from the World Cup in Qatar. and they are unlikely to cause England too many problems in the capital, having lost 4-0 when these sides last met in the quarter-finals of the last European Championship. Bet9ja have 1.27 odds, Paripesa have 1.27 odds and 1xBet have 1.27 odds.
Portugal can continue their unblemished start to the Euro 2024 qualifying process by earning three more points on Sunday in Luxembourg. At Trnava, Luxembourg’s qualification campaign got off to a respectable 0-0 draw against a strong Slovakian team. The game did not feature many clear-cut opportunities. The Portuguese team has so much depth that Martinez can change up his starting lineup without seeing a decline in performance, which might be the difference in a game where Portugal will try to get out to a quick lead and dominate their opponents. Bet9ja have 1.14 odds, Paripesa have 1.17 odds and 1xBet have 1.17 odds.
Slovakia’s EURO 2024 qualification campaign got off to a poor start when they drew at home with Luxembourg. They now have to play a squad who impressively won their first game. At least based on the way bookies set up the odds, the home team isn’t the favorite in my Slovakia vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina prediction. The team’s performance in its first official game under new manager Faruk Hadzibegic was, to put it mildly, impressive, which cannot be said of Slovakia. Three times in their history, these teams have faced off, with the most recent game occurring in the 2013 World Cup qualifiers. It’s interesting to note that Slovakia also won their away game, while Bosnia and Herzegovina won both times when the game was played there. Bet9ja have 2.70 odds, Paripesa have 2.81 odds and 1xBet have 2.81 odds.
The second round of the Euro 2024 Qualifications has begun, and one of the first games is the encounter between Kazakhstan and Denmark. As was to be expected, Denmark opened the Qualifiers with a victory against Finland, while Kazakhstan suffered a home loss to Slovenia. But this is by no means the only factor supporting Denmark’s position as the match’s favorite. Denmark is a better side than Kazkhstan. We anticipate them to demonstrate this. As a result, our first Kazakhstan vs. Denmark prediction is that the visitors will win the game after taking a lead at the interval. Bet9ja have 1.25 odds, Paripesa have 1.27 odds and 1xBet have 1.27 odds.
Over 2.5
Midweek, Sheffield Wednesday suffered a 4-2 loss in the South Yorkshire Derby, losing the league’s top status to the Owls. When they visit the bottom-placed team in the division. Forest Green, on Sunday, Darren Moore’s team will have a fantastic chance to get back on track.
With only nine games remaining, Forest Green, who are playing in their inaugural season of third-division English football, are anchored to the bottom of the table and 13 points from safety. Sheffield should feel confident scoring more than two goals on this field. Since they would take this game by the horn from the outset. Bet9ja have 1.90 odds, Paripesa have 2.01 odds and 1xBet have 2.01 odds.
Although Kazakhstan hasn’t yet participated in a major competition, their improvement over the past few years is clear, and they are making progress. Of course, it’s still quite doubtful that they will qualify for the Europeans, especially given their defeat to Slovenia at home in the first round of the Qualifiers. Our second Kazakhstan vs. Denmark prediction is that the game will end with three or more goals. The last four head-to-head meetings between Kazakhstan and Denmark have all ended with over 2.5 total goals. Nevertheless, both Kazakhstan and Denmark scored more than 2.5 goals combined in their opening Euro 2024 Qualifiers games, so we wouldn’t be shocked if this encounter had a similar outcome. Bet9ja have 1.68 odds, Paripesa have 1.74 odds and 1xBet have 1.74 odds.
With 5 victories, 2 draws, and just 1 loss in their previous 8 meetings. England has a strong record against Ukraine. England defeated Ukraine 4-0 when the two teams met at Euro 2020. The hosts had won four of their previous six games overall. Only one of Ukraine’s last six games has ended in a loss. That defeat came to them at Scotland by a score of 3-0. In five of England’s last six games and three of Ukraine’s last six contests, there were over 2.5 goals scored. Yet the game won’t be easy for the hosts because the guests want to win after being eliminated from the World Cup. Yet, we believe Southgate’s team will score at least three goals. Bet9ja have 1.68 odds, Paripesa have 1.73 odds and 1xBet have 1.73 odds.
The Portuguese are among the best teams in the world, and in addition to their exceptional talent. They also have a chip on their shoulder right now. It is no secret that they are already preparing for the 2026 World Cup. They also have an outstanding head-to-head record versus Luxembourg. In the most recent match, the 2016 Euro champions scored five goals. In fact, they scored 54 goals in the previous 16 games, which is astounding. It seems like this weekend will be full with goals. Bet9ja have 1.48 odds, Paripesa have 1.49 odds and 1xBet have 1.49 odds.
Anytime Goal scorers
Harry Kane
England’s captain was on target in midweek in a 2-1 victory over Italy. Kane has scored 54-goals in 81 matches for his country and that goal against Italy makes him England’s highest goalscorer ahead of Wayne Rooney. We’re backing Kane to find the back of the net again. In what should be a fairly routine victory for the English. Bet9ja have 1.80 odds while Paripesa have 1.75 odds.
Retegui
Italy’s Argentina-born striker scored on his international debut in midweek against England, and a well-taken goal it was. We’re backing Retegui, who scored 22 league goals for Tigre last season and has 6-goals in 8-games this season. To find the back of the net against Malta this weekend. Retegui is out to impress and earn himself a big-money move to Europe this summer. There is no better way of doing that than making a name for yourself on the international stage. Bet9ja have 1.90 odds while Paripesa have 2.00 odds.
Ronaldo
Ronaldo will be inserted into Roberto Martinez’s starting XI again. This comes after a very impressive performance in Portugal’s 4-0 home win over Liechtenstein on Thursday. The forward scored a brace of goals in his last game against Liechtenstein. Cristiano Ronaldo, celebrated becoming the most-capped male international player of all time with a brace against Liechtenstein. He also scored a hat-trick in his last meeting with Luxembourg and should add to his international tally on Sunday. Bet9ja have 1.70 odds while Paripesa have 1.87 odds.
Rasmus Hojlund
Given that we anticipate Denmark to prevail in this match, Rasmus Hojlund, a forward for Atalanta in Serie A. He is the player to keep an eye on for after his performance in the opening match of the Qualifiers. The youthful attacker only played three times for Denmark, but the third time proved to be his lucky charm. He not only managed to score his first goal for the national team against Finland. He also capitalized on the opportunity by tallying a hat-trick. Thus, Kazakhstan should pay particular attention to this child. Bet9ja have 2.00 odds while Paripesa have 2.10 odds.
Football Lover. All-round junkie of the beautiful game. Could be found watching football most of the time. If not he’s writing about them or making some punditry you don’t agree with. A certain bias for Arsenal and Santos FC.
