Group E of Euro 2024 is certainly poised for an exciting conclusion with all teams on equal points. As the final matches approach, each team will be aiming for victory to secure their place in the knockout stages. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:
Wednesday 26 June
Ukraine 42/10 | Draw 29/10 | Belgium 6/10
Belgium and Ukraine are currently second and fourth in Group E with three points each, the final matches will be critical in determining their advancement to the Round of 16.
Belgium stars Kevin De Bruyne and Youri Tielemans will be expected again to inspire the Red Devils to another victory after being on the scoresheet in a 2-0 win against Romania, their first of Euro 2024.
Despite being at the bottom of the group, Ukraine have shown resilience. Their recent 2-1 victory over Slovakia indicates their capability to challenge strong teams.
Ukraine can be dangerous, especially if Belgium’s key players don’t perform at their best. Ukraine’s determination to avoid elimination will make them formidable opponents. Backing both teams to score is a safe bet at 9/10.
Slovakia 39/20 | Draw 11/10 | Romania 29/10
This is another crucial and exciting fixture in Group E which will be full of surprises, Slovakia currently occupies the third position in the standings while Romania is at the top of the table.
The last time these teams faced each other was in 2013 in a friendly match that ended with a 1-1 draw. Looking at the recent performances for either side this will be a mixed-motion game.
Slovakia’s last group stage match saw Ukraine beat them for the first time in the competition 2-1 on June 21. Ivan Schranz was the sole player on the scoresheet in the loss. In six games this year, they have three wins, one draw, and two losses.
Romania’s last group stage game saw them beaten for the first time in the competition this year 2-0 by Belgium on June 22 at Cologne Stadium. In 2024, they won one, drew three, and lost two.
Tipping a double chance for either side to win at 6/10 is a bet to place.
Czechia 17/10 | Draw 29/10 | Turkey 33/20
Turkey will be looking to secure a place in the round of 16 when they face the Czech Republic who can also qualify for the knockout stage if they beat Turkey.
Turkey has been a better side in their last three meetings against Czechia winning all the games. Back Turkey to win here.
Georgia 13/2 | Draw 37/10 | Portugal 7/20
Portugal has already advanced to the next phase of the tournament and probably will rest most of their key players for the round of 16.
Coach Roberto Martinez will give the players who didn’t get enough minutes in this competition a chance to prove themselves and Portugal has won four and lost one game in their last five outings.
While Georgia has won three, drew one, and lost one match in their last five games.
This game will produce over 1,5 goals at 2/9.
