Handicap markets are priced up by the majority of bookmakers and it's proving to be particularly popular in football matches where one team is heavily favoured over the other.
Why the Euro 2024 Handicap market is worth exploring
Having this market to make use of can enable bettors to squeeze more value out of any given game in comparison to the traditional win/draw/lose odds on offer. Given that, Euro 2024 will throw up its share of fixtures that seem like mismatches on paper, attacking the handicap market could prove a successful path to profit.
Which Euro 2024 games could be of interest here?
Germany vs Denmark
Germany’s quest to be crowned European champions on home soil continues when they take on Denmark at Signal Iduna Park on Saturday night.
Julian Nagelsmann’s side kicked-off the tournament in spectacular style with a 5-1 thrashing of Scotland.
While the Germans subsequently went on to secure top spot in Group A, they weren’t as free-flowing when huffing and puffing against Hungary before scrambling a late point to draw 1-1 with Switzerland.
Like Switzerland, Germany’s latest opponents Denmark have the potential to be awkward opponents.
Kasper Hjulmand’s side have lost just one of their last 15 matches, navigating their way to the knockstage of Euro 2024 without tasting defeat.
While toppling Germany in their own backyard will be a tall order, the Red and Whites’ major tournament pedigree makes them well placed to merit support in the handicap markets.
Spain vs Georgia
Spain have been one of the standout sides at Euro 2024 so far and their superior class should tell against shock troops Georgia on Sunday night.
Luis de la Fuente’s men made light work of what was deemed to be this year’s group of death, posting three wins from three, and recording three clean sheets for good measure.
Meanwhile, Georgia have exceeded all expectations by emerging from Group F, but this looks set to be the end of the fairy-tale for Willy Sagnol’s side.
The Crusaders were readily outclassed by Spain during Euro 2024 qualifying , losing 7-1 at home before going down 3-1 in the reverse fixture. That alone makes Spain worthy of consideration at 8/13 on Betfred to overcome a -1 handicap.
While Georgia should put up stiffer resistance against Spain this time around, La Roja should get the job done with some room to spare.
Portugal vs Slovenia
Portugal's 12-game winning streak in competitive action came grinding to a surprising halt against Georgia in midweek but Roberto Martinez’s men can rebound at the first time of asking against Slovenia on Monday night.
After winning their opening two Group F fixtures, Portugal boss Martinez made eight changes for the matchday three defeat to Georgia. However, the Selecao starting XI against Slovenia will have a more familiar look to it.
While the Slovenians have put up a valiant effort to get this far, they could feel the wrath of a Portugal side that will be desperate to silence their doubters.
The Selecao have covered a -1 handicap in eight of their last 12 victories in meaningful matches and they can continue in that vein by getting the show back on the road against Matjaz Kek’s side.
