An incredible match awaits us between Mbappé’s team and the Belgians, but the favorite is obvious. Portugal will not have big problems with the Slovenians.
Two pairs of Euro 2024 quarter-finalists are already known. An incredible match between Germany and Spain awaits us, as well as a meeting between England and Switzerland. Today two more teams will be determined that will make it to the round of 16. We present to your attention an express bet with a 3.86 odds.
Prediction for the match France – Belgium
The French team had problems in the group stage of Euro 2024 due to Kylian Mbappé’s injury. The captain of the national team suffered a broken nose in the 1st round match against Austria (1-0). The next match against Holland was lost (0-0). But even with an injury and an uncomfortable mask, Mbappé scored a penalty in the match against Poland (1-1).
The situation in Belgium is much more alarming. They qualified confidently, but in the group stage of Euro 2024 most of the developments of former Spartak Moscow coach Domenico Tedesco did not work out. His players sensationally lost to Slovakia (0-1), defeated Romania (2-0) and drew with Ukraine (0-0).
The Red Devils found themselves in a relatively comfortable group, but showed no readiness for a big challenge. Romelu Lukaku, who scored 14 goals in eight qualifying matches for the tournament, became one of the main losers of the group stage. Three goals he scored were immediately disallowed.
At this stage, the French national team’s level is beyond Belgium’s reach. In the group stage of the European Championship, they showed that they can sometimes be vulnerable. If the “Red Devils” have big problems against the Slovaks and Ukrainians, what can they count on in a match against the “Tricolor”, who have much greater resources? Let’s bet on the French winning by 1.95.
Prediction for the match Portugal – Slovenia
Portugal finished the group stage of Euro 2024 in first place in the tournament standings. The Chosen Ones scored six points by defeating the Czech Republic (2-1) and Turkey (3-0), and in the final match they unexpectedly lost to Georgia (0-2). The unsuccessful result can be partly attributed to the roster rotation made by coach Roberto Martinez.
Slovenia finished all three of their Euro 2024 matches in a draw, with Denmark (1-1), Serbia (1-1) and England (0-0). These results helped Matjaz Kek’s team reach the playoffs. The coach’s credo helped us achieve success: a rigid scheme and strict implementation of requirements. The Slovenians are well prepared physically, they press skillfully and defend reliably. The main strength of the team is Jan Oblak, who helps out in difficult situations.
Slovenia is playing well at Euro 2024. In the absence of stars, the head coach emphasized tight defense and strict discipline. Portugal is the favorite. The Slovenians are inferior in individual ability, but they can count on a reliable defense. Our bet is that Portugal wins and that the total is less than 3.5 goals for 1.98.
