Thursday’s Football Tips: No Euros? Nor Problem

We now know the line-up for the last 16 at the Euro 2020 after a dramatic night in both Budapest and Munich.

Germany came within 10 minutes of exiting the competition but a deflected equalizer against plucky Hungary set up one of the ties of the round against England at Wembley.

France eventually topped the so-called Group of Death thanks to a 2-2 with Portugal and they'll now face Switzerland while the Portuguese booked a mouth-watering clash with Belgium on Sunday.

Spain and Sweden also booked their place in the knock-out stages and the eight ties look like this;

Saturday 26th June

• Wales v Denmark 5:00pm
• Italy v Austria 8.00pm

Sunday 27th June

• Netherlands v Czech Republic 5.00pm
• Belgium v Portugal 8.00pm

Monday 28th June

• Croatia v Spain 5.00pm
• France v Switzerland 8.00pm

Tuesday 29th June

• England v Germany 5.00pm
• Sweden v Ukraine 8.00pm

Euro 2020 Outright Odds

France remain clear favourites to lift the trophy, now 7/2 at Bet365 despite being in the tougher half of the draw. Next in line are the Italians – arguably the most impressive in the group stages – at 6/1.

English pundits might be surprised to see Germany a shorter price (13/2) than England (7/1) to be outright winners and Belgium look a lively option at 8/1, although that tie against Portugal (10/1) will have pushed their odds out a point or two.

The Netherlands are available at 9/1 but the real outsiders begin with Denmark at 18/1 – it would be a real fairytale if they were to be champions on July 11th.

Wales are 80/1 shots to while rank outsiders are Austria and Ukraine at 150/1 with Bet365.

Thursday Matches

With no Euro 2020 matches until Saturday we need to content ourselves with football from across the globe. Tolu has us covered with match previews from MLS and Copa America below.

The Norwegian Eliteserien will be popular with punters on Thursday and it's a league that usually throws up goals. There's a few Skybet specials that look interesting; Over 1.5 goals in each game pays 9/4 while 18+ goals to be scored across the six fixtures should land at 10/11.

The title looks like it'll be between Bodø/Glimt and Molde once again and both sides meet in a top-of-the-table clash. Goals should be guaranteed and with few other options on a quiet day the 4/6 on BTTS & Over 2.5 at Bet365 might be as good as it gets on Thursday.
