Wednesday’s Best Euro 2024 Bets
Georgia vs. Portugal
This is one of the most lopsided matches of the Group Stage, and yet, the final result isn't going to show that. Why? Because Portugal has nothing to play for. They have already secured Group F, so there is no reason for them to do anything more than necessary on Wednesday. And all that is necessary for them is a draw.
This is a side that has already scored five goals in this tournament, but they should lack any sense of urgency in this game. Additionally, their defense is so good that we don't expect Georgia to have many opportunities. The Georgians have scored in both of their games, but the Portuguese just shut out Turkey, and they had one of the best defenses during qualifying. If this game was played earlier in this stage, we'd take the over. But in a game where Portugal has nothing to gain, getting this under for this price is a steal.
Bet: Under 2.5 Goals (+134)
Belgium vs. Ukraine
Both of these teams have struggled to score thus far, which is a problem that should persist on Wednesday. Each team had a disastrous first match, with both being shut out by far inferior opponents. They both rebounded nicely, but they still struggled on the offensive side. Belgium scored in the second minute of their second game, then didn't score again until the 80th.
The biggest concern in this game is Belgium attempting so many shots that some just find the back of the net. Though they only scored twice in their last game, they did attempt 20 shots, nine of which were on goal. But this Ukraine team is the best they will have faced thus far, and because of that, we expect less shooting in this game. And defensively, if Belgium keeps doing what they've done in their first two games, Ukraine is unlikely to get on the scoreboard.
Bet: Under 2.5 Goals (+100)
Slovakia vs. Romania
The tie is the heavily favored result in this match, which makes sense considering the two teams stepping on the pitch. Both have had an up-and-down start to their tournament, pulling off shocking wins in their first games and then falling back to earth in their second.
Slovakia have scored once in each of their games. Romania won 3-0 in their first match, then were shut out in their second. The inconsistency of Romania may worry some, but considering their first two opponents, it's impressive they have even one point, let alone three, heading into this match. These are two very evenly matched teams. With so much on the line, we expect them both to be fairly conservative until they have to ramp up the intensity. But neither team has the explosiveness to blow this one open late, so if they wait too long, a 0-0 tie may be in the future.
Bet: Draw (+100)
