The EURO 2024 are starting to take shape following the conclusion of the first round of matches. Germany will be looking to remain at the helm of Group A when they take on Hungary while Switzerland who are breathing down their neck will be aiming to add to the woes of Scotland and Group B’s Croatia will have a chance to redeem themselves at the expense of Albania.
Here’s a look at today’s round of fixtures.
4/10 Croatia | Draw 33/10 | Albania 6/1
Croatia will have a shot at redemption when they take on Albania following a terrible start to their campaign which saw them receiving a 3-0 hammering at the hands of Spain. They are currently at the bottom of the group and would need to get back to winning ways to stand a chance of qualifying for the next round.
Boasting an experienced squad including players like Luka Modric, Marcelo Brozovic and Mateo Kovacic to name a few, the 2022 World Cup bronze medallists are capable of turning the tide and shocking the Albanians.
Albania on the other hand was the dark horse of the group, they failed to protect their lead when they went down 2-1 to Italy in their opening match. Their lack of experience in big competitions saw them being outmatched in all aspects of the match, we look to see if they can turn things around with this game.
Despite age not being on the side of the Croatian players, their experience and deep knowledge of the game make them the clear favourites to win this match. The odds are stacked against the Albanians and it is hard to see them being victorious in this clash. Betting on Croatia and over 1.5 goals at 15/20 is money well spent.
1/4 Germany | Draw 48/10 | Hungary 9/1
The hosts demolished ten men Scotland 5-1 in their opening match and are expected to continue their dominance when they take on Hungary who received a 3-1 thrashing at the hands of Switzerland.
This is expected to be an easy win for Julian Nagelsmann’s side. Betting on Germany to win first half with over 1.5 goals at 2/1 is easy money.
34/10 Scotland | Draw 5/2 | Switzerland 8/10
Switzerland will be aiming to move to the top of Group A when they take on wounded Scotland who will be aiming to recover from a 5-1 defeat. The Swiss were impressive in their 3-1 victory against Hungary, however, Scotland is a much stronger side that will be motivated to avoid another loss.
Steve Clarke’s side is expected to fight tooth and nail in this bout as another loss may diminish their chances of making It out of the group stages.
This is expected to be a highly contested match filled with goals. Switzerland scored nine goals in their past four matches while the Scottish side netted five goals in their last three matches. Betting on Scotland/Switzerland & over 2.5 at 27/20 is worth spending your money on.
