EURO 2024 Betting On Quarterfinals: Portugal vs. France, England vs. Switzerland, and Netherlands vs. Turkey | Soccer Odds
Portugal +240 vs France +135
When: Friday, July 5, 3:00 pm ET
Euro Cup Picks: Draw +190, O/U 2.5
France, led by captain Kylian Mbappe, have notched 48 goals in 82 appearances.
In their last match, a 1-1 draw with Poland, Mbappe recorded 6 shots with 5 on target. Adrien Rabiot received his second yellow card of EURO 2024 in a 1-0 victory over Belgium.
France has only scored three goals in play in four games – two own goals and a penalty.
They may change formation to 4-2-3-1 and could include Ousmane Dembele, moving Antoine Griezmann to #10 position with Aurelien Tchouameni and N’Golo Kante in midfield.
Portugal’s Bernardo Silva has been in great form recently, scoring goals in wins over Turkey and Slovenia.
He has scored 12 goals in 92 appearances for the national team since 2015 and also plays for Manchester City in the English Premier League.Goalkeeper Diego Costa made key saves in the shootout win over Slovenia.
With Rafael Leao returning from a ban, Portugal is likely to field the same starting XI in the next match.
EURO 2024 Betting Pick: Portugal will advance on penalties.
^England +120 vs Switzerland +280
When: Saturday, July 6, 12:00 pm ET
Euro Cup Picks: Draw +200, O/U 1.5
In their last 24 matchups with Switzerland, England has dominated with 18 wins, five draws, and just one loss dating back to 1981.
Meanwhile, Switzerland has remained undefeated in 2024, including a draw against Germany and a win over Italy in EURO 2024.
Their last defeat was in November 2024 against Romania. Jude Bellingham’s bicycle kick saved England from a shocking loss to Slovakia in the round of 16, securing a 1-1 draw.
Marc Guehi will miss the quarterfinal match against Switzerland due to a yellow-card suspension, with Ezri Konsa expected to replace him.
Luke Shaw’s status at left-back is uncertain, with Bukayo Saka filling in against Slovenia.
Silvan Widmer returns for Switzerland at right wing-back, while Dan Ndoye moves forward into an attacking role.
The Swiss team appears more cohesive, and I predict England’s luck could finally be coming to an end against them.
EURO 2024 Betting Pick: Switzerland to win and advance.
^Netherlands -170 vs Turkey +475
When: Saturday, July 6, 3:00 pm ET
Euro Cup Picks: Draw +310, O/U 2.5
The Dutch defeated Romania 3-0 in the last-16 match, with Gakpo and Malen scoring the goals.
Malen, with two goals in the tournament, may start in place of Bergwijn on the right.
The Netherlands dominated possession against Romania and could do the same against Turkey, who prefer to counter-attack.
Simons set up Gakpo’s goal in the match with Romania. The Dutch are cautious due to having four players on yellow cards.
They have not reached the quarterfinals since EURO 2008 but have bounced back from a loss to Austria in the group stage. Their offense has been in form since then.
Turkey defeated Austria 2-1 in a stunning victory, with Demiral scoring his fourth goal in 48 international matches.
However, Demiral’s two-game suspension poses a challenge for the team, as he joins Calhanoglu, Akaydin, Yuksek, and Kokcu on the suspended list.
Despite using a 4-2-3-1 formation in group play, Turkey switched to a three-man back line against Austria and may do so again.
The young player Arda Guler has been a key player in counter-attacks, assisting in the team’s second goal.
With a large Turkish population in Germany, the stadium atmosphere is expected to be lively, especially following the controversy surrounding Demiral’s suspension.
EURO 2024 Betting Pick: Netherlands to advance.
