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

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

In the sixth game of the Round of 16, favorite France takes on Switzerland Monday. The game will kick off at 3 p.m. ET at Arena Națională in Bucharest, Romania. Below, we preview the France vs. Switzerland odds and lines and make our best Euro 2020 bets, picks and predictions.

After winning the World Cup in Russia in 2018, France is looking for another win on the international stage. Previous Euro winner, Portugal, was knocked out of Euro 2020 Sunday.

France is the second-best national team, according to the FIFA World Rankings. However, this will be no cakewalk with 13th-ranked Switzerland on the other side. The Swiss finished third in Group A after tying Wales 1-1, beating Turkey 3-1 and losing 3-0 to Italy in the group stage.

Prediction

France 2, Switzerland 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to FRANCE (-175) as Switzerland hasn’t looked as good as expected.

France MFs Paul Pogba an Kante will hold down the middle while the favorite hopes to get Fs Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe going. The firepower is just not matched.

The Swiss will really need a good game from winger Xherdan Shaqiri to have any hope at taking this to overtime. Switzerland has the pace, and France hasn’t looked overly dominant.

At the end of the day, the French are the better side. The value isn’t great, but it’s good enough to put half a unit on them to win in regulation.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (+115) as the French defense hasn’t been as dominant as anticipated.

France allowed 3 goals and scored 4 of its own in the group stage. In a tough group, those are relatively timid numbers. Switzerland scored 4 and gave up 5 through its first three games.

Neither team has shown much so far, and that should be expected to change as both are top-15 teams in the world. France has two of the world’s best attackers, and Switzerland is coming off a three-goal performance.

The only time Switzerland didn’t score was against a dominant Italian defense. Expect Switzerland to get one and France to still win. It’s a gamble, but the value is in the Over.

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

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

Four teams are through the knockout stage, and Monday at noon ET, Croatia takes on Spain at Telia Parken in Copenhagen, Denmark. The victor will take on the winner of France and Switzerland, set to be played Monday at 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Croatia vs. Spain odds and lines and make our best Euro 2020 bets, picks and predictions.

Croatia comes in with arguably the tournament’s best midfield. MFs Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic should own the middle, but so far, that hasn’t been enough as Croatia finished second behind England in Group D. Croatia is 14th in the FIFA World Rankings.

Spain is sixth in the world rankings and finished second in Group E despite not losing in the Group stage. It drew with Sweden and Poland before clobbering Slovakia 5-0.

Prediction

Spain 1, Croatia 0

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line as Croatia should lose but has the better value. I wouldn’t bet on Spain at -175 despite its prowess.

While experience should help propel Spain to the next round it had just one goal through two matches before the outburst against Slovakia, who ranks 36th in the world.

D Jordi Alba and MF Sergio Busquets will captain the roster with F Alvaro Morata solidifying an impressive roster from back to front. While Spain should get the job done, there isn’t a money line bet to be made at these prices.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

BET the UNDER 2.5 (-140) as neither team has shown much offensively.

Spain destroyed Slovakia, but aside from that game scored 1 goal in 180 minutes. Morata hasn’t been great, and Alba locks down the back with Busquets playing as more of a defensive-minded midfielder.

Croatia scored 3 goals against Scotland but had just 1 goal against both England and the Czech Republic, a team that moved on to the Round of 8. Croatia gave up just 3 goals in the group stage.

The Under is relatively pricey, but it should be the best bet of the match.

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

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

In arguably the most notable game of the Round of 16 at Euro 2020, Portugal and Belgium take the pitch Sunday at 3 p.m. ET. The match will be held at Estadio Olimpico de la Cartuja in Seville, Spain, making Portugal more of the home side. Below, we preview the Belgium vs. Portugal odds and lines and make our best Euro 2020 bets, picks and predictions.

One of the favorites to win Euro 2020 and the most dominant sides in the group stage, Belgium, the No. 1 team in FIFA World Rankings, will look to continue its quest to the throne of Europe. It’ll need to get past the previous Euro winner in Portugal.

With F Cristiano Ronaldo the star of the Portuguese team, it’s only in this position after being placed in the Group of Death with Germany, France and home-sided Hungary. Portugal finished third in the group but is fifth in the world rankings.

Prediction

Belgium 3, Portugal 2

Money line (ML)

BET on BELGIUM (+145) because it has looked terrific so far. After getting MF Kevin De Bruyne back, Belgium has looked unstoppable.

It defeated Denmark 2-1 in the group stage. Denmark just handed Wales a 4-0 defeat in the Round of 16 Saturday, as an illustration of its talent. Having played a couple of difficult games, Belgium has been able to get F Romelu Lukaku going without expending too much energy.

Portugal had to give its all just to get here. Ronaldo has been terrific with a tournament-leading 5 goals. No other player had 4 in the group stage.

Can Portugal D Pepe and GK Rui Patricio keep the dangerous Belgian attack at bay? Can MF Bruno Fernandes be a star alongside the aging Ronaldo?

If those things can happen, Portugal has a chance, but from front to back, I still think Belgium will take care of business. A plus-money bet for them to win in regulation is solid value.

Belgium at -145 to just advance also offers good value.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (+105) because at the value it’s easily the better bet.

While one may look at Belgium having conceded just 1 goal and be opposed to this, Portugal’s three games totaled 13 goals. Ronaldo, on the world’s biggest stage, gets the job done.

While I don’t envision his team coming out on top, it’d be shocking not to see him put one in the net. Given the brilliance of De Bruyne and the aggression of Lukaku, this is likely to be a high-scoring affair.

Belgium held both Russia and Finland, neither a top-35 team in the world, scoreless. Ronaldo will pose a different threat Belgium hasn’t seen so far this tournament.

You can also get Over 3.5 goals for +250 as a secondary play; however, these bets are for regular-time goals, so overtime wouldn’t add to the count.

Euro 2020: Netherlands vs. Czech Republic odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s Netherlands vs. Czech Republic odds and lines, with UEFA EURO 2020 picks, tips, predictions and best bets.

The Netherlands take on the Czech Republic in Sunday’s Euro 2020 Round of 16 action. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET at Puskás Arena in Budapest, Hungary. Below, we preview the Netherlands vs. Czech Republic odds and lines and make our best Euro 2020 bets, picks and predictions.

Coming into this game Netherlands, the first-place finisher in Group C, is looking like a dark horse to win the entire tournament. F Memphis Depay and MF Georginio Wijnaldum have 2 and 3 goals, respectively.

Netherlands was the only top-20 team from the FIFA World Rankings in its group. It took care of business but hasn’t shown to be that next-level team quite yet.

The Czech Republic is coming into this match with a win, loss and draw in the group stage. It allowed just 2 goals across the matches, having taken on elite sides in Croatia and England. Czech Republic tied Croatia in an impressive performance.

This will be an uphill battle as the Netherlands’ aggressive attack will meet a more defensive-minded side. The winner of this game will go on to face Denmark, who made quick work of Wales in the first game of the Round of 16.

Prediction

Netherlands 3, Czech Republic 1

Money line (ML)

BET on NETHERLANDS (-155) despite the value not being the best. Sure, there’s a chance of a draw at the end of 90 minutes, but with the Netherlands -350 to advance, the regulation win odds are the better play.

That said, Netherlands has been a scoring machine with 8 goals in the group stage.

Only Italy, at plus-7, has a better goal differential. Wijnaldum and Depay have gotten the job done so far, and they’ve had both the finesse and athleticism to blow out opponents.

With the Czech not being much of an improvement over the teams the Netherlands already crushed, expect a solid victory for the favorite.

You can get the Netherlands to win and Over 2.5 goals for +145 which could be the best betting value.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (-120) as the Netherlands topped the projected total on its own in two of the three group stage matches.

With only 5 goals scored in the Czech Republic’s three games, I expect the Netherlands to be in full control and set the pace. F Patrik Schick has all 3 Czech goals, and it hasn’t scored a non-penalty goal against a competent side.

Despite Czech potentially being shut out, the Over could still hit and has good value with how the Netherlands is playing. It has enough attacking prowess to make the Over a good play.
