The 2024 European Championship continues this week in Germany, with the second round of the group stage kicking off on Wednesday, June 19. Below are our free soccer betting tips and predictions for Matchday 2 of EURO 2024.
Croatia vs Albania
Wednesday, June 19 – 3pm CEST – Imtech Arena
Both defeated in their opening matches, Croatia and Albania must bounce back to avoid an early exit. Although both teams will be pushing for maximum points, it’s hard to envision anything less than a Croatian victory, given the quality and experience on the side.
Croatia to win to nil
Germany vs Hungary
Wednesday, June 19 – 6pm CEST – MHP Arena
Fresh off a 5-1 victory over Scotland, hosts Germany look all but assured of booking their place in the last 16 with victory over Hungary, who lost to Switzerland in their EURO opener. Although the Germans lost their last meeting with Hungary, expect Julian Nagelsmann’s side to dominate the encounter in front of their home crowd.
Germany to win both halves
Scotland vs Switzerland
Wednesday, June 19 – 9pm CEST – RheinEnergieStadion
Bottom of Group A after suffering the heaviest defeat of Matchday 1, Scotland have a mountain to climb against Switzerland. Unfortunately for them, the Swiss — who beat Hungary 3-1 in their opener — look destined to book their place in the knockout stages with a second consecutive victory.
Switzerland to win
Slovenia vs Serbia
Thursday, June 20 – 3pm CEST – Allianz Arena
Serbia sit bottom of Group C having lost their opener to England, while Slovenia are third after salvaging a draw against Denmark. Anticipate this to be a low-scoring affair, as witnessed in three of their last five meetings.
Under 2.5 goals
Denmark vs England
Thursday, June 20 – 6pm CEST – Commerzbank Arena
Although their win against Serbia was far from convincing, England sit top of Group C thanks to Denmark’s 1-1 draw with Slovenia. A rematch of the EURO 2020 semifinals, where England won, expect the Three Lions to grind out a win against the Danes.
England to win
Spain vs Italy
Thursday, June 20 – 9pm CEST – Veltins Arena
Both victorious in their EURO 2024 openers, the race to lead Group B is well and truly on as Spain face Italy in the biggest clash of the first stage. Expect plenty of goalmouth action, as both teams have scored in four of their last five meetings.
Both teams to score
Slovakia vs Ukraine
Friday, June 21 – 3pm CEST – ESPRIT Arena
Second in Group E after their unexpected 1-0 win over Belgium, Slovakia line up against a Ukraine side that shockingly lost 3-0 to Romania. Desperate not to make an early exit with a second consecutive loss, Ukraine will look to La Liga Golden Boot winner Artem Dovbyk to get them a much-needed win.
Artem Dovbyk anytime goalscorer
Poland vs Austria
Friday, June 21 – 6pm CEST – Olympiastadion
Winless in their openers, both Poland and Austria have the unwelcome assignment of competing with France and the Netherlands for places in the last 16. These teams last met in 2019 and managed just one goal between them across two matches, so it would be no surprise if this was another low-scoring affair.
Under 2.5 goals
Netherlands vs France
Friday, June 21 – 9pm CEST – Red Bull Arena
With three points secured in their opening matches, tournament favourites France lock horns with the Netherlands as the race to lead Group D intensifies. Although this should be an explosive encounter, Les Bleus — who have won six of their last seven meetings with the Dutch — should carry the day.
France to win
Georgia vs Czech Republic
Saturday, June 22 – 3pm CEST – Imtech Arena
Both defeated in their opening matches, Georgia and Czech Republic face the threat of imminent elimination from Group F. Although these sides have never met in a major tournament, the experienced Czechs should be good enough to secure maximum points against the newcomers.
Czech Republic to win
Turkey vs Portugal
Saturday, June 22 – 6pm CEST – Signal Iduna Park
Leading Group F following their 3-1 win over Georgia, Turkey face a formidable challenge against Portugal, who needed a last-gasp winner against Czech Republic. Despite losing their four previous meetings, expect Turkey to give the 2016 champions a run for their money.
Both teams to score
Belgium vs Romania
Saturday, June 22 – 9pm CEST – RheinEnergieStadion
Stunned by their 1-0 defeat to Slovakia, Belgium will aim to return to winning ways against Romania, who shockingly thrashed Ukraine 3-0. After he was denied two goals by VAR against Slovakia, online bookmakers are offering great value for Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku in the anytime goalscorer market.
