We take a look at three of the Euro 2024 matches taking place on Thursday and suggest a bet in each game.
Let’s start with a look at the Outright Betting where France are 4/1 favourites ahead of England at 9/2, Germany are 13/2 and you can get 8/1 Spain, 9/1 Portugal and 13/1 and better the balance.

SPAIN v SCOTLAND – Click here to bet
Spain are currently 2nd in Group A, 6 points behind leaders Scotland. Spain have played 1 match less and they have won 3 of their 4 games including hammering Cyprus 6-0 last time out. Their other home game was a 3-0 victory over Norway in Match 1 and their only loss came on the road against Scotland where they went down 2-0.
Scotland have won all 5 of their games including a 3-0 win at Cyprus last time out. Their other away game was a 2-1 win at Norway, a game where they started 7-2 underdogs.
Scotland have scored 12 goals in their 5 matches conceding only 1 while Spain have scored 16 in 4 games but conceded 3 goals.
Spain are short priced favourites here at 2/7 with Scotland on offer at 11/1 and while I do expect Spain to win, the way that Scotland have been playing I think they can get a goal.
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 27/20

CYPRUS v NORWAY – Click here to bet
Cyprus are bottom of Group A without a point in their opening 5 games. At home they have lost 3-0 to Scotland and 2-1 to Georgia and have only scored 2 goals while conceding 17.
Norway are 3rd on the table on 7 points and after a slow start, with just 1 point from their opening 9, they have had back-to-back wins at home to Georgia and Cyprus. On the road they drew 1-1 at Georgia and lost 3-0 against Spain.
Cyprus are 14/1 to cause an upset with the draw 11/2 and Norway 2/9 and I am going to back Cyprus to score a goal here something they have managed in 2 of their 5 games to date including against Norway on the road in a 3-1 defeat.
Suggested Bet: Cyprus over 0.5 goals at 5/4
CROATIA v TURKEY – Click here to bet
Croatia are currently top of Group D with 10 points from their opening 4 games. They have won their last 3 matches in succession including beating Armenia 1-0 on the road last time out. At home they have beaten Latvia 5-0 and drawn 1-1 with Wales.
Turkey are 2nd in Group D level on points with Croatia, but behind on goal difference and also having played a game more. They drew 1-1 at home to Armenia last time out, a game where they started 4/10 favourites. On the road this season they have beaten Latvia 3-2 and Armenia 2-1. Turkey lost 2-0 at home to Croatia when the sides met earlier in the Group stages.
The 8/11 on a Croatia win is just a bit short for me to back, but I actually fancy them to win this quite easy and I am going to back them on the handicap to win by more than a goal.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Croatia -1.5 at 39/20
