Ahead of the quarter-finals at Euro 2024, let's explore the best matches to place correct score bets on, using key trends and recent results to beat the bookies.
Why the Euro 2024 correct score betting is worth exploring
The correct score betting market is one that should always be looked at when gambling on football matches.
The odds for predicting the correct score of a football match are often relatively long, and considering certain teams frequently produce the same scorelines, it's a market which can be taken advantage of with a bit of research.
With the group stages now over, it is a case of do or die for every team left in the competition which should mean a reduction in goals due to fear of elimination. However, the minnows have performed well at the tournament so far and their gung-ho approach could catch a few big teams off guard in the knockout stages.
This is a market that should most commonly be selected pre-match but is also worth an in-play look under certain circumstances.
For example, if the favourites of a match go 1-0 down early on, then placing a bet on them to win 2-1 or 3-1 can often be advantageous. See England vs Slovakia as the perfect example.
Which Euro 2024 games could be of interest here?
Spain vs Germany (Spain 2-2 Germany)
Spain vs Germany promises to be the best match of Euro 2024 and given how both teams have played at the tournament, there is an argument that it should be the final.
Spain are the only team left in the tournament that have won every match but we think this one will be heading to extra time. Spain have scored nine goals at Euro 2024, which is an average of 2.25 goals per game while Germany have scored 10 goals – an average of 2.5 goals per game.
Interestingly, Spain have struggled more against teams that have sat deep against them (Italy and Albania) and this is something Germany won't do, which sets us up for an open, attacking football match. It wouldn't be a shock to see this one go all the way to a penalty shootout.
Portugal vs France (Portugal 0-1 France)
From one potential classic to one potential borefest. France have been one of the least entertaining teams to watch at Euro 2024 with only Italy and England rivalling them for that prize. They've scored just three goals at the tournament so far – two own goals and a penalty.
Portugal, meanwhile, showed promise in the group stages but struggled to break down Slovenia in the round of 16. Given Deschamps' France are playing defensive football like Slovenia, it's difficult to see Ronaldo and co finding a way past a strong defence that features the likes of Saliba, Kounde and Upemecano.
Three of the last five matches between France and Portugal have finished 1-0 either way so it's a scoreline that is almost synonymous with this fixture.
England vs Switzerland (England 1-1 Switzerland)
England were 30 seconds away from being eliminated from Euro 2024 before Jude Bellingham produced a stunning overhead kick to keep them alive. Their reward for turning things around against Slovakia is a quarter-final with Switzerland, who have been very impressive throughout the tournament.
England are yet to score more than one goal in a match at Euro 2024 and we've now reached the point where we have to accept that is unlikely to change. On the flip side, they have also not conceded more than one goal in any match they've played.
Switzerland have been more impressive than the Three Lions but they have conceded one goal in three of their four Euro 2024 matches which should give England hope.
