ITALY got their Euro 2020 campaign off to a flying start on Friday night with a terrific 3-0 win over a disappointing Turkey.
Roberto Mancini's side controlled the match from start to finish, barely allowing the Turks out of their own half for the 90 minutes to extend their unbeaten run to 28 games. The only real surprise was that the Italians managed to score three goals for the first time ever in a European Championships final match.
Group A rivals Wales and Switzerland kick-off Saturday's action in Baku in what is possibly the Dragons' best chance to pick up three points. The good news for Wales is that they play Italy last, by which point the Azzuri may well be home and hosed in Group A, but an opening match win would be very welcome indeed.
Robert Page's men are 3/1 to win against the Swiss but they've been tipped to struggle in this tournament and it should be noted that Switzerland are ranked 14th in the world at the moment. Mark Walker is happy to the 5/4 on Vladimir Petkovic's men to start with a win in his match preview.
Next up it's Finland‘s bow at the European Championships against fellow Scandanavians, Denmark in their own backyard of Copenhagen. The Finnish will look to Norwich City striker Teemu Pukki for goals but they could struggle to penetrate at this level.
The Danes will fancy their chance of getting out Group B, behind the much-fancied Belgians. They're generally solid at the back and the ever-impressive Kasper Schmeichel will be desperate to follow in his father's footsteps of 1992. This doesn't have the makings of a classic and it could take a single goal to separate the sides. Under 1.5 pays 2/1 but the safer shout would be under 2.5 goals at 4/6. Check out SlipsTips' match preview for this one.
Ranked number 1 in the world, it's time for this generation of Belgian footballers to deliver. Compared to some other fancied teams Belgium have a great chance to ease themselves into the tournament. A kind draw should see them navigate Group B comfortably, starting with an ‘away' win against Russia in St Petersburg.
That home advantage for the Russians appears to be a big factor in how this match has priced up. If the game was being played on neutral territory Roberto Martinez's men would be nowhere near as big as 5/6 so it definitely represents a bit of value.
Romelu Lukaku is plenty of people's idea of tournament top scorer and he'll be key if Belgium are to go deep into the tournament. He has a phenomenal scoring record for the Red Devils and can add to his tally on Saturday. He comes into the tournament off a brilliant season for Inter Milan and as a penalty taker, he'll be a solid bet to score in every game. He's 7/2 (Betway) to open the scoring and 27/20 (Marathonbet) to score any time.

Ffs chances my mind from balcutta game to joondalup game….double would have landed before half time. Never mind still plenty time….will never learn tho
The start of the Finals down under and first up is central coast mariners v MacArthur. The mariners have home advantage and won all 3 league meetings this season so despite having players missing due to international duty I can’t see them losing here. (Something to bear in mind as the final series matches are played- sides will have players missing thru either Asian World Cup qualifiers or being selected for the Olympics- Melbourne city will be hit hard) Using Paddy Powers betbuilder function ive put together a NAP I reckon stands a good chance based on what’s went on in previous h2h and over the course of these 2 seasons.
For my NB it’s 2 matches from euro 2020 and the games involving Denmark and belgium. The Danes are in excellent form, and have just 1 defeat and a draw in their last 11 matches, away to Belgium and Germany respectively. They also finished above England in the recent nations league qualifying and took 4 points off them without conceding a goal, and that’s a side many folk seem to think will go far, so there’s definitely quality in the danish ranks. Only twice in the 11 matches did they fail to score 2+ and that was away to Germany and England and that’s what I’m on for today, Finland have done really well to qualify but are winless in their last 6 conceding 2+ in 4 of those and they haven’t really played anyone of note. The next part of the bet sees me go for the straight win for Belgium. Yes it’s unlikely de bruyne and Eden hazard will start but for me there’s still enough in the Belgian ranks for them to be taking the 3 points. Despite it being a home game for the Russians 5/6 for the best team in the world looks a bit of a gift to me. These 2 met in the qualifying campaign and I watched the game in Russia and the Belgians absolutely destroyed them 4-1 and were miles better in every department. Different day different tournament but if lukaku and co turn up I reckon they’ll win.

Well we stole a point there didn’t we.
Reality is we most likely need a win against turkey to get 2nd.
What I see coming up
Turkey 1 Wales 1
Italy 2 Switzerland 1
Turkey 1 Switzerland 1
Italy 2 Wales 0
Italy 9 points
Switzerland 2 points gd -1
Wales 2 points gd -2
Turkey 2 points gd -3
This highlights the importance of getting 3 points as we would finish 3rd here but most likely won’t be enough to be a best 3rd place team.

Bet365 are just the worst, they refused to void any bets on the Denmark game, utter scum.
They have gone right downhill, poor bonuses getting worse.
I would advise anyone opening a new account to use Hills or Skybet
