Monday's Euro Double
Under 2.5 Goals (FRA v BEL)
Slovenia to score
All my Euros bets are with bet365 so you will need an account to follow them.
Reasoning
France have cruised through unbeaten but are a bit like England and have failed to really be a big threat going forward. All of the 6 games these two teams have played have gone under 2.5 goals.

With Slovenia scoring in two games so far and Portugal conceding in 2 games so far Slovenia to score looks a solid bet especially with Slovenia beating Portugal 2-0 in March.

The Euros Monday Tips: Analysing and Picking Winners for July 1, 2024

 
Monday’s fixtures in the UEFA Euro 2024 knockout stages feature key matchups including Portugal vs. Slovenia and France vs. Belgium. Here’s a detailed analysis of these games, along with tips on how to pick winners for various bet types.
 

Match Analysis

 
We begin with a thorough examination of each match, focusing on key factors:
 
1. Form and Performance: Evaluating recent form is essential. Portugal has shown strong performances throughout the tournament, demonstrating both offensive and defensive strengths. France, as one of the favorites, has also been impressive, leveraging their star-studded lineup. Belgium, although slightly inconsistent, has the potential to surprise with their attacking prowess. Slovenia, while the underdog, has shown resilience and tactical discipline.
 
2. Head-to-Head Records: Historical encounters provide valuable context. Portugal has a strong record against teams like Slovenia, which can influence betting decisions. France and Belgium have had competitive matches in the past, often closely contested, adding an interesting dynamic to this fixture.
 
3. Injuries and Suspensions: The availability of key players significantly impacts outcomes. Portugal and France are likely to field their strongest squads, giving them an edge. Any key absences in the Slovenian or Belgian squads could be detrimental.
 
4. Tactics and Strategy: Understanding team strategies is crucial. Portugal’s attacking style, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, contrasts with Slovenia’s more defensive approach. France’s fluid and versatile play will challenge Belgium’s defensive setup, which relies heavily on counterattacks.
 

Bet Types and Strategies

 
We provide tips for various bet types to cater to different betting preferences:
 
1. Match Result (1X2): Predicting the outcome is straightforward. Portugal is favored to win against Slovenia, given their superior form and tactical strength. France is similarly favored against Belgium, leveraging their star power and recent form.
 
2. Both Teams to Score (BTTS): This bet requires both teams to score at least one goal. For France vs. Belgium, BTTS is lesser consideration given both teams’ defensive capabilities. Portugal vs. Slovenia might be more likely for BTTS, based on the games so far.
 
3. Over/Under Goals: This involves betting on whether the total number of goals scored will be over or under a specified number. For France vs. Belgium, imder 2.5 goals is reasonable given their form. Portugal vs. Slovenia might be safer for over 2.5 goals, reflecting Portugal’s control.
 
4. Correct Score: Predicting the exact score is challenging but offers high rewards. A 3-1 win for Portugal against Slovenia is a realistic prediction. France vs. Belgium could end in a 1-0 win for France.
 
5. Player-Specific Bets: Bets like “First Goal Scorer” or “Anytime Goal Scorer” rely on individual player analysis. For Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo is a strong candidate for the first goal scorer. In the France vs. Belgium match, Kylian Mbappé is a likely pick for anytime goal scorer.
