It was England and Spain who progressed to the last 8 of Euro 2024 last time out, with Spain prevailing in emphatic fashion over Georgia and England requiring plenty of luck to overcome Slovakia. Next up to the plate are 4 sides with very differing agendas at this tournament. France, Portugal and to a lesser extent Belgium, are seen as sides that could go all the way in this tournament and who are packed with world class talents within their squad. Slovenia meanwhile are punching above their weight here at Euro 2024 and they have become a side that could spring a surprise or two with many punters and Euro 2024 betting apps.
France vs Belgium – France to win
Evens at Jeffbet
A classic European heavyweight tie between France and Belgium is on the agenda here, with neither side having hit their straps in the tournament so far. France muscled their way through a group containing the Netherlands and Austria but clearly have a few issues in camp that need ironing out. Belgium have been hugely inconsistent in the tournament so far and are also searching for their best form currently. This could be a cagey one, with neither side firing on all cylinders but France do have the wood over Belgium, making them justified favourites here with many punters and the major Euro 2024 betting sites.
Portugal vs Slovenia – Portugal to win
4/11 at Betzone
Very little was expected of Slovenia heading into Euro 2024, but they find themselves dining at the top table of European international football. Next up is a clash with Portugal, a side they beat in a friendly in Ljubljana back in March and they are a team that they won’t necessarily fear. However, Portugal will be reeling from losing to Georgia last time out and they will pump the big names back into the team. Slovenia will provide a tern test for Roberto Martinez’s side, but Portugal should come out on top here.
Portugal v Slovenia – Under 2.5 goals in the game
8/11 at Betgoodwin
For all the superlatives thrown at Slovenia in this tournament, they have only managed to score 2 goals in 3 games, and they could really struggle to carry a goal threat against a well organised and hostile Portuguese defence. Going forwards, Portugal remain as potent as ever, but they will want to ensure progress to the last 8 and won’t leave themselves open at the back, meaning goals could be hard to come by in this one for punters and Euro 2024 betting sites.
