UEFA Euro Cup 2020 Matches Worth Betting On June 18

Top Euro 2020 Matches of the Day

  • When: Friday, June 18

Slovakia (+340) vs Sweden (-131)

  • When: Friday, June 18

Heading into the UEFA European Championships, Slovakia had 3 draws and a victory. Most felt the Slovakians would fall against Robert Lewandowski and Poland. Not only did Slovakia not fall, but they beat Poland 2-1.

But even though Slovakia won their first Euro 2020 match, it’s difficult to side with them versus Sweden. In their first contest of the tournament, the Swedes played the perfect game against heavily favored Spain. 

The Spanish controlled possession 75% of the time. The Swedes knew that if they drew with Spain, they’d be in a good position to move to the second round. Friday is the time for Sweden to show up and try to score a few goals. The Swedes shouldn’t disappoint their fans. 

Soccer Pick: Sweden 

Czech Republic (+225) vs Croatia (+106)

  • When: Friday, June 18

For Croatia this match is huge. Croatia fell to England in their first match. Raheem Sterling scored a goal at the fifty-seventh minute. Luka Modric and Croatia couldn’t rally for the equalizer. 

Croatia beating the Czech Republic isn’t a done deal. The Czechs played great in their first Euro 2020 match. Behind two goals from Bayern Leverkusen player Patrik Schick, the Czech Republic beat Scotland 2-0.

On June 8, the Czech’s beat Albania 3-1 in an international friendly. Czechoslovakia doesn’t fear Croatia. It’s also apparent that this Croatian squad isn’t as talented as the one that fell in the 2018 World Cup Finals. The Czech Republic is worth backing.  

Soccer Pick: Czech Republic 

Scotland +1 ½ (-131) vs England -1 ½ (+100)

  • When: Friday, June 18

England is on a roll. But here’s the thing. Even though they’ve won 5 straight, they’ve only won by more than a goal once, on March 28 in a 2-0 victory against Albania, which is why Scotland offers lower odds at +1 ½ than England does at -1 ½.

But Scotland doesn’t look to have enough to challenge the English. England is often conservative. Versus Scotland, they may not be. The English want to show they can dominate when they wish.

If they decide to dominate on Friday, beating Scotland by more than 2 goals is more than probable. England on the handicap is the play. 

Soccer Pick: England
