Euro 2020: England vs. Denmark odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Wednesday’s England vs. Denmark odds and lines, with UEFA EURO 2020 picks, tips, predictions and best bets.

In the second semifinal match of Euro 2020, home-side England takes on Denmark. The match is set for Wednesday at 3 p.m. ET at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Below, we preview the England vs. Denmark odds and lines and make our best Euro 2020 bets, picks and predictions.

England is coming off an easy victory over Ukraine in the quarterfinals. While it was challenged against Germany to kick off the knockout stage, England has looked comfortable and remains the favorite to win Euro 2020.

England has been absolutely dominant this tournament, winning four games and drawing one. It has yet to concede a goal and has scored 8, including 6 in the two knockout-round games. England is fourth in the FIFA World Rankings and takes on 10th-ranked Denmark in the semifinals.

After rallying from a loss to Finland in the tournament opener in which star MF Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch, Denmark is still on its surprising run. It scored 10 goals over the last three matches and has lost only to Belgium since that tough first Group Stage match.

Prediction

England 3, Denmark 1

Money line (ML)

BET on ENGLAND (-145) as the home side has been dominant.

Being at home has a huge advantage, and Hungary proved it early on in the tournament. Managing draws against Germany and France, it played above its typical standard in front of a home crowd.

Now to finish the tournament, England will be at home, and I’m not betting against it. Winger Raheem Sterling and F Harry Kane looked terrific against Ukraine with Kane scoring in the 4th and 50th minutes.

While Denmark has been able to break through and score at a great pace, England has yet to give up a goal and scored six in the last two games.

Expect England to get the job done behind a strong crowd at Wembley Stadium.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET the OVER 2.5 (+120) as both sides have looked great in the final third.

Denmark will be the team to watch here. If it can force its way through Manchester United D Harry Maguire and then past Everton GK Jordan Pickford, it’ll have a chance.

Denmark has scored the second-most goals in the tournament with F Kasper Dolberg leading the way with 3 goals. If it can get one early and push the pace, this match could end with a high amount of goals.

It’s certainly a risk with how England’s defense has played, but I don’t think Denmark’s attacking success is a fluke. With both teams coming in hot on the offensive end, expect goals to rain in.

Euro 2020: Belgium vs. Italy odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Friday’s Belgium vs. Italy odds and lines, with UEFA EURO 2020 picks, tips, predictions and best bets.

In the second quarterfinal match of Euro 2020, Belgium will take on Italy Friday afternoon. Kickoff is slated for 3 p.m ET at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. Below, we preview the Belgium vs. Italy odds and lines and make our best Euro 2020 bets, picks and predictions.

Despite being more of the home side in this upcoming match, Belgium, who narrowly escaped Portugal in the Round of 16, will probably be without MF Kevin De Bruyne and winger Eden Hazard in the quarterfinals. The decision on whether they play is expected to be at the “last minute,” according to manager Roberto Martinez.

That will drastically change both the game plan for Belgium, which sits atop the FIFA World Rankings, and Italy, which ranks seventh.

Italy is coming off a hard-fought victory over Austria in the Round of 16, after winning its Group Stage games by a combined score of 7-0. With Turkey, Switzerland, Wales, and Austria as their first four opponents, this will be a massive test for the Italians, even if Belgium is forced to sit its two best talents.

Prediction

Belgium 1, Italy 1 (Belgium wins in extra time)

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to BELGIUM TO ADVANCE (+110) but do it with hesitancy because of the injuries to the stars. If De Bruyne and Hazard are ruled out, MF Dries Mertens would have to step up.

The difference in skill is enough to pass on this money line in general. Given the odds for Belgium, I’d bet on it to advance, assuming it may get at least some time on the pitch from Hazard and De Bruyne.

For Italy, it failed to get anything going in 90 minutes against Austria and had just 6 shots on goal in 120 minutes. Both goals came in extra time. While the defense looked flawless in the Group Stage and has been a formidable side for years, Austria had 16 shots and got one in the back of the net late in extra time.

Belgium is a different animal, one with the attacking prowess of F Romelu Lukaku.

Expect Belgium to get something going against Italy. I think this game ends in extra time or penalty kicks with Belgium coming out on top.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 1.5 GOALS IN THE SECOND HALF (+145) because both sides like to do their work late.

Belgium has scored 8 goals in this tournament and 5 of them have come in the second half. Seven of Italy’s 9 goals have come in the second half or extra time.

While this bet is only for the second half, I think it gives better value than Over 2.5 (+130) for the full match. All it takes is for 1 goal early in the second half for this game to loosen up.

With substitutes and tired legs and goalies, the second half has produced big-time efforts. The teams don’t give up, and I’d bet that these two combine for a pair of goals in the second half.

They’ve done most of their work in the final 45 minutes, and that’s the bet I’d take for the Over. However, as with any total in soccer, only the most risk inclined should be looking into this one.

Euro 2020: Switzerland vs. Spain odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Friday’s Switzerland vs. Spain odds and lines, with UEFA EURO 2020 picks, tips, predictions and best bets.

In the first quarterfinals match of Euro 2020, Spain takes on Switzerland Friday in St. Petersburg, Russia. Kickoff will be at noon ET. Below, we preview the Switzerland vs. Spain odds and lines and make our best Euro 2020 bets, picks and predictions.

With Germany out, Spain is the most experienced team still remaining.

After going up 3-1 on Croatia in the Round of 16 and maintaining that lead until the 85th minute, Spain looked well-positioned to coast into the quarterfinals. After giving up 2 goals in the final 10 minutes of regulation, Spain scored twice in extra time to advance.

Spain’s Group Stage matches didn’t show much as it drew two and crushed Slovakia 5-0.

The Swiss were 1-1-1 in their Group Stage and knocked off an uncharacteristically sluggish French side on penalties in the Round of 16. Despite that, Switzerland still enters as a heavy underdog.

Prediction

Spain 2, Switzerland 1

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line as Spain is just far too pricey.

Look at what Switzerland did to France, despite being the underdog. While I think Spain will manage to get through, the value is on Switzerland (+475). It’s 13th in the FIFA world rankings.

If the Swiss are going to do anything it must be Liverpool’s attacking midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri getting the job done. They were more than doubled up in shots in the Round of 16, and if you replay Swiss-France, the result is probably different.

While the draw or Switzerland win seemingly offer good odds, they’re even a bit risky. The best bet in this area is for SWITZERLAND TO ADVANCE (+250).

While Spain is the more talented side and should be predicted to win, the underdog won three of the eight games in the Round of 16.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET the OVER 2.5 (-110) as the best value in this match. Both teams absolutely crushed the total in their Round of 16 matches and the offensive firepower is there.

The real reason to bet the Over is that Spain is clearly hitting its stride offensively with 10 goals in the last two games.

It’s not just one superstar either. In both games, five different players scored for Spain.

That said, Switzerland put up 3 goals on a solid French defense and also averaged over a goal per game in the Group Stage.

I expect at least 1 in the back of the net for Switzerland and at least 2 from Spain. This is the best bet of the match.
