UEFA Euro Cup 2020 Matches to Must Bet On July 2nd

UEFA EURO 2020 Quarter Finals Games

When: Friday, July 2

Spain (-161) vs Switzerland (+398)

When: Friday, July 2

Let’s start with Spain. Few teams, if ever, can score 5 goals in a match in a tournament of this caliber. Spain has done it in back-to-back matches. In their final group stage game versus Slovakia, the Spanish trounced their opponents 5-0.

Then in Spain’s Round of 16 match, the Spanish beat Croatia 5-3. The victory against Croatia is particularly impressive because the Spanish had to deal with Real Madrid star Luka Modric and Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovasic.

But as impressive as the victory was, Inter Milano forward Ivan Perisic didn’t step onto the pitch. Without Perisic, Croatia didn’t appear to play at their highest possible level.

Also, Spain scored 2-of-5 goals late and in extra time, which means Croatia scored 3 goals against the Spanish. Finally, Spain could bounce big time. It’s difficult to score 2 goals versus top international competition, much less 5 in back-to-back matches.

No doubt, Switzerland is an underdog in this match. But there are some things to like about the team that knocked off favored France. Switzerland plays a style that should frustrate Spain.

The Swiss take their time and don’t mind playing to draws or even penalty kicks. The Swiss beat France via penalties. Switzerland requires some luck, Spain must regress from their current form, but the odds don’t justify a play on the Spanish. The odds do justify a play on the Swiss.

Soccer Pick: Switzerland

Italy (+126) vs Belgium (+216)

When: Friday, July 2

If you don’t read too much into Spain scoring 5 goals in two straight matches, or England’s 2-0 win against Germany, Italy by far has impressed the most. The Italians handled an Austrian side with 21 European club league players 2-1 in their Round of 16 match.

The game was the first where Italy allowed a goal. No doubt, the Italians will play hard. Italy would be the pick in this even if the Belgium’s were at one-hundred percent, which they most likely won’t be.

Although no official word has landed, Roberto Martinez, Belgium’s head coach, hinted that neither Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne nor Belgian captain Eden Hazard would play on Friday.

Many consider De Bruyne the best player in the world. Hazard played awesome in Belgium’s 1-0 victory over Ronaldo and Portugal. Again, we’d side with the Italians with or without Belgium’s injuries.

But the fact that De Bruyne and Hazard won’t play, or at least won’t be one-hundred percent, means Italy, at the current odds, is an overlay.

Soccer Pick: Italy

UEFA Euro Cup 2020 Matches to Must Bet On July 3rd

EURO 2020 Quarter Finals Matches

When: Saturday, July 3

Denmark -101 vs Czech Republic +269

When: Saturday, July 3

Denmark is the fifth choice to win EURO 2020. England enters the quarter finals the chalk, Spain is second choice, Italy is third choice, and Belgium is the fourth choice. Only +300 separates Belgium from Denmark.

Why are the Danes suddenly a wise guy choice to take the UEFA European title? On June 12, after Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch in Denmark’s 0-1 loss to Finland, the Danes had every right to pack up their gear and head home.

But Denmark didn’t do that. Instead, the Danes fought against Belgium in a valiant 1-2 loss before ending the group stage with a brilliant 4-1 victory against Russia. Denmark blasted the Welsh 4-0 in their Round of 16 match.

The Danes are on fire. No wonder they’ll enter their battle with the Czech Republic a big -101 chalk.

Although Denmark should win, the Czech Republic is no joke. Yes, the Czechs didn’t score the 2 goals versus the Netherlands in their knockout stage upset victory until the referee handed Matthijs de Ligt a red card.

Still, the Czech Republic played lights out the rest of the way to send the Netherlands packing. Denmark should win this, but the Czechs will frustrate the Danes. If Denmark takes a backward step, most teams would after scoring 8 total goals in 2 matches, the Czech Republic can grab the victory.

Soccer Pick: Czech Republic

England -1 ½ (+121) vs Ukraine +1 ½ (-169)

When: Saturday, July 3

England’s 2-0 win against Germany shows the English are tired of being called soft. England stopped one of the strongest squads in the world from scoring a single goal. That’s actually more impressive than beating the Germans by 2.

The victory, though, was England’s most impressive of the EURO 2020 tournament. The Ukraine knocked off Sweden as a big underdog. The Ukraine finally played a decent match.

The likelihood of England beating the Ukraine by more than a goal isn’t promising. So if you want to play the handicap, back the Ukraine. But why worry about the handicap? England could struggle to score, like they did during group play, which means this could end in regulation at 0-0.

Soccer Pick: Draw
