We take a look at 4 of the Euro 2024 qualifiers taking place on Monday night and suggest a bet in each game.
NORTH MACEDONIA v ENGLAND – Click here to bet
North Macedonia are currently 4th in Group C, 12 points behind leaders, England. Their last game was a 5-2 defeat away at Italy. Their last home game was back in September when they drew 1-1 with Italy.
England have dropped just 2 points in their opening 7 matches. They beat Malta 2-0 at home last time out and their last away game was a 1-1 draw with the Ukraine.
England hosted North Macedonia back in June of this year winning 7-0 with Saka picking up a hat trick.
North Macedonia are rank outsiders for this game at 16/1 and although I don’t see an upset here North Macedonia have scored in all 3 of their home games and I am going to back both teams to find the back of the net.
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 14/10

UKRAINE v ITALY – Click here to bet
Ukraine and Italy are locked on 13 points after 7 matches, 6 points behind leaders, England in Group C. At this stage Italy are placed 2nd on goal difference so this is a very important encounter when it comes to qualification for Euro 2024.
Ukraine’s last action was away at Malta where they won 3-1 and their last home game was a 2-0 win over North Macedonia. The only points they dropped at home this campaign was a 1-1 draw with England.
The Italians beat North Macedonia 5-2 at home last time out and their last away game was a 3-1 defeat at England and prior to that they drew 1-1 at North Macedonia.
Italy hosted the Ukraine in early September winning 2-1.
Italy are the 17/20 favourites here, but given Ukraine’s strong home record and Italy’s struggles on the road I am backing the home team to take something out of this game.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Ukraine +0.5 goals at 1/1
NORTHERN IRELAND v DENMARK – Click here to bet
Northern Ireland are 5th on the log on 6 points from their 9 matches. They face top of the table, Denmark who have taken 22 points from a possible 27.
The Irish lost 4-0 away at Finland last time out and their last home game was a 1-0 defeat to Slovenia. At home they have lost 3 and won only 1 game, 3-0 at home to San Marino.
Denmark beat Slovenia 2-1 at home last time out and their last away game was a 2-1 victory at San Marino who were massive underdogs at 80/1. Their only defeat of the campaign came away at Kazakhstan where they lost 3-2.
These sides played in Denmark back in June of 2023 with Denmark winning 1-0.
Denmark are the 11/20 favourites here and looking at their record in recent times they seem to do just enough to get the job done and I am going to back them to win by exactly 1 goal.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Denmark -1 the draw at 5/2
SAN MARINO v FINLAND – Click here to bet
The hosts are currently bottom of Group H without a point from 9 matches. They play Finland who currently sit 4th with 5 wins and 4 losses in their 9 games.
San Marino were beaten 3-1 on the road by Kazakhstan last time out, prior to that they lost 2-1 at home to Denmark, a big improvement on their other home games in the qualification stages.
Finland beat Northern Ireland 4-0 at home in their last start and they have won 2 and lost 2 of their matches on the road.
Finland won the reverse fixture 6-0 at home.
San Marino are 60/1 underdogs for this match, but it is hard to see them causing an upset, but they have shown some improvement of late and I am going to back the correct score here San Marino 0, Finland 2
Suggested Bet: Correct Score, 0-2 at 5/1
