International football is back as the road to Euro 2024 continues this week. We’ve cast an eye over the upcoming fixtures and picked out three games with good value in the latest football odds.
Whether you choose to bet with Bet777.be, or any other online sportsbook, you can enjoy a huge range of Euro 2024 betting markets, both for the qualifiers and main competition.
Ukraine vs England
We’re kicking things off in Poland where Ukraine take on England. Ukraine are currently in a strong position having beaten both North Macedonia and Malta, with a 2-0 defeat against England in their opening game the only points they’ve dropped. Although they have shown glimpses of competing with some big European teams, the best they can hope for is probably a point this weekend.
England have utterly dominated the group since the Euro 2024 qualifiers began, winning all four games with 15 goals scored and only one conceded. The reverse fixture between these nations saw Gareth Southgate’s side run away comfortable 2-0 winners, and in all honesty, it probably should have been more. The Three Lions have kept three consecutive clean sheets, with a win to nil landing in five of their last seven outings in all competitions.
England win to nil – 2.20
Kosovo vs Switzerland
Next up we’re jumping over to Group I where Kosovo look to pick up their first win of the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign. They opened things up with three successive draws, before eventually losing 2-1 to Belarus. Defeat this weekend will almost certainly seal their fate – they are already five points adrift of the top two with qualification to Germany looking a distant dream.
Switzerland on the other hand are in pole position. They have won three of their four games, drawing their last outing against Romania. The Swiss squad is very well-rounded, but 22-year-old Zeki Amdouni has been the star thus far. Amdouni has netted five in four games, getting on the scoresheet if each and every qualifier. He could be the difference once more against a sturdy, yet unspectacular Kosovo side.
Switzerland win – 1.63
North Macedonia vs Italy
It ended in heartbreak for Gli Azzurri when these two last met, as North Macedonia scored a 92nd minute winner to end Italy’s hopes of qualifying for the 2022 World Cup. They may have shocked the world then, but we can’t see it happening again in Skopje this Saturday. They have lost back-to-back matches against Ukraine and England, and they failed to register a single shot in their 7-0 drubbing at the hands of the latter. We expect them to cause Italy more problems than they did England, but it won’t be enough to earn them any points.
Italy’s spot in Group C is starting to look a little sketchy. They are only three points off Ukraine in second so they won’t be worrying yet, but failure to win this weekend could see panic start to set in. The Italians have undergone somewhat of a rebuild since their Euro 2021 triumph, with young talents like Giacomo Raspadori and Wilfried Gnonto taking over from their ageing predecessors. They should have enough to get all three points, but it certainly won’t be easy.
Italy win and both teams to score – 3.15
