Early Round of 16 Best Bets for Euro 2024
- France vs Belgium: under 2.5 (-138) at bet365
Neither of these teams impressed offensively during the group stage, mustering just two goals each. But both defenses were on point. Belgium has kept two straight clean sheets after a 1-0 upset at the hands of Slovakia in their opener. France started the tournament with two clean sheets against Austria (1-0) and the Netherlands (0-0) before a 1-1 draw with Poland that saw Robert Lewandowski finally beat Mike Maignan with (a retake) of a penalty.
- Switzerland vs Italy: SWI to advance (+105)
Switzerland was impressive in its runner-up performance in Group A. They were seconds away from winning the quarter before Germany scored a late equalizer in third and final group-stage game to earn a 1-1 draw. The Swiss outplayed both Hungary (2-1 win) and Scotland (1-1 draw) even though they only took four of six points from the pair of matches.
Italy, on the other hand, fell behind Albania during a 2-1 win, were badly outplayed by Spain in a 1-0 loss, and needed a miracle last-minute equalizer to draw Croatia and claim second-place in Group B. Defensive anchor Riccardo Calafiori isn’t playing due to suspension, and that’s a big problem for an offensively challenged Italian side that will need to be perfect at the back end.
