Nearly half of the teams will be eliminated after the final round of matches in the group stage of the European Championship, currently held in Germany.

Here are our free soccer betting tips and predictions for Matchday 3 of EURO 2024 which kicks off on Sunday, June 23

Switzerland vs Germany

Sunday, June 23 – 9pm CEST – Commerzbank Arena

Germany secured their place in the last 16 following Wednesday’s win over Hungary, while Switzerland have a good chance of advancing, with four points collected from a possible six.

Although Julian Nagelsmann might rest several key names, still expect a German victory against the Swiss, who have not defeated the tournament hosts in their last seven meetings.

Scotland vs Hungary

Sunday, June 23 – 9pm CEST – MHP Arena

Scotland, third in Group A with one point, could force their way into the knockout stages by beating Hungary, who are bottom of the group.
Victorious against Hungary in their last competitive meeting, anticipate the Tartan Army to win and increase their chances of qualifying as one of the highest-ranked third-placed teams.

Albania vs Spain

Monday, June 24 – 9pm CEST – ESPRIT Arena

Despite securing passage into the knockout stages with two wins from two games, three-time champions Spain look to extend their impressive run with a win against Albania, who have lost all six previous meetings with La Furia Roja.

Croatia vs Italy

Monday, June 24 – 9pm CEST – Red Bull Arena

Bottom of Group B with just a single point from two games, Croatia have a decisive match against Italy, who could potentially finish top of the group.

An action-packed fixture awaits as witnessed in all six previous meetings, anticipate both sides not to hold anything back.

France vs Poland

Tuesday, June 25 – 6pm CEST – Signal Iduna Park

Defeated in their first two games, Poland became the first team to be eliminated from EURO 2024.

Meanwhile, a goalless draw with the Netherlands was all it took for France to secure their place in the last 16.

Victorious in their last meeting with Poland, expect Les Bleus to dominate against a side with nothing to lose.

Netherlands vs Austria

Tuesday, June 25 – 6pm CEST – Olympiastadion

This should be an entertaining match, as both sides fight for a place in the knockout stages.

Although the Netherlands will be wary of Austria, the Dutch who have won all six previous meetings against their opponents, should grind out a win against a resilient Austrian side.

Denmark vs Serbia

Tuesday, June 25 – 9pm CEST – Allianz Arena

Bottom of Group C after earning one point from their first two games, Serbia will fancy their chances against Denmark, who are second in the group with two points.

However, given the competitive nature of the group, anticipate Denmark to win, as they have in all three previous meetings against Serbia.

England vs Slovenia

Tuesday, June 25 – 9pm CEST – RheinEnergieStadion

Despite two unconvincing performances against Serbia and Denmark, England—who are top of group C with four points—need just a single point to advance into the last 16.

Slovenia, third on the table after drawing their first two games, have never defeated the Three Lions in all six previous meetings.

On target during England’s 1-1 draw with Denmark, online bookmakers are offering great value for England skipper Harry Kane in the anytime goalscorer market.

Slovakia vs Romania

Wednesday, June 26 – 6pm CEST – Commerzbank Arena

Slovakia and Romania find themselves in one of the most competitive groups of the tournament, where all four teams have amassed three points.

Nevertheless, expect only one team to get on the scoresheet, as has been the trend in several Group E encounters.

Ukraine vs Belgium

Wednesday, June 26 – 6pm CEST – MHP Arena

Although the unpredictable nature of Group E makes this match an entertaining prospect, Belgium stand a better chance of winning the encounter and securing their passage into the last 16, due to the quality and experience of their side.

Czech Republic vs Turkey

Wednesday, June 26 – 9pm CEST – Imtech Arena

Second in Group F after collecting three points from their first two games, Turkey have a great chance of advancing into the last 16 with victory over Czech Republic, whom they have beaten in their last three meetings.

Georgia vs Portugal

Wednesday, June 26 – 9pm CEST – Veltins Arena

Already into the knockout stages of the European Championship, having topped Group F, Portugal’s head coach, Roberto Martínez, is expected to rest several key players against Georgia.

Nevertheless, Cristiano Ronaldo, who certainly won’t be rested for the bout, has a great chance of opening his goal-scoring account for the tournament.
