JUNE 19th EURO 2016 PREDICTIONS

EURO 2016 PREDICTIONS

June 18th highlight has to be Belgium's come back after loosing to Italy. They scored three goals against Ireland, equaling the same number of goals the group leaders Italy have, but the difference is the two goals conceded as compared to Italy's non conceded. Today's fixtures are only two, pitching Switzerland vs France, Romania vs Albania, all Group A's last matches that will see two teams packing for home.

SWITZERLAND vs FRANCE

France have literally qualified to go to the next stage considering that no team has equaled their performance in their group because their closest rivals, Switzerland have 4 points, and next, Romania with one point. There is no chance at all that there will be anything doable that can possibly overturn the outcomes.

Switzerland have won 2/5, drawn 1/5 and lost 2/5 matches, collecting an imaginary 7/15 points, scoring 5 goals and conceding 6 goals. France on the other hand have won 5/5 matches, collecting all 15/15 available points, scoring 14 goals and conceding 5 goals. A head to head review has France winning 3/4 and drawing 1/4 matches. 2/4 of the matches ended up with OVER 2.5 goals and 2/4 UNDER 2.5 goals.

Verdict is that France are likely to win considering their form and history. The general feel is that there will be not much goals hence projecting an Under 2.5 goals.

Prediction is France win, or draw, 1 OR X
Prediction is UNDER 2.5   
Prediction is BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE, (YES)


ROMANIA vs ALBANIA 

Thus far, Albania have not collected a point. Being their last Group A match, they might want to earn a consolation point or three. Romania on the other hand will be hoping to score more goals than Switzerland and still hope that they will be beaten by France, so that they(Romania) qualify for the next stage on their (Switzerland) behalf.

The two teams have been displaying dismal results with Romania winning once, drawing and loosing twice, collecting 5/15 points, scoring 11 times and conceding 9 times. Albania on the other hand have won twice and lost thrice, collecting 6/15 points, scoring 6 times and conceding 7 times. A head to head review has Romania winning 3/5 meetings and 2/5 ending up as draws. 4/5 matches ended up having UNDER 2.5 goals and 1/5 producing an OVER 2.5 goals.

Verdict is that Romania might win this match but it will not be easy because Albania also want to prove a point by securing one or three points before back packing. Due to the fact that Romania have to score more goals than Switzerland's, this match might end up having more goals.

Prediction is Romania win or draw, 1 OR X
Prediction is OVER 2.5
Prediction is BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (YES)

JUNE 18th EURO 2016 PREDICTIONS

EURO 2016 PREDICTIONS 

7/9 correct predictions in yesterday's bets was fantastic. Those single bets must be multiplying well seeing the high odds made available by the EUROS. The highlight of the day must have been Italy's win against Sweden. The Azzuris are proving to be a hard nut to crush, having not conceded a goal thus far in the competition, and I must say that it will be hard for any team to score against them considering the solidity displayed by the back three. Today's matches see Belgium playing Ireland, Iceland playing Hungary and Portugal playing Austria.

BELGIUM vs IRELAND (GROUP E)

Belgium are highly ranked by FIFA in the world rankings and were seen as favorites who were expected to beat every team in it pool, but that was not to be! They are currently trailing the group, with a game in hand. Looking at their previous five matches, and considering their rank, Belgium have performed dismally, winning twice, drawing once and loosing once. They have scored 7 goals, conceded 8 goals and have an imaginary 7/15 points. Their opponents, Ireland have displayed average results, winning once, drawing thrice and loosing once. They have scored 6 times in five matches, conceded 6 times and have an imaginary 6/15 points. A head to head review of the two teams has Belgium winning twice and drawing 3 times. 2/5 times had more than 2.5 goals and 3/5 times had less than.

Verdict is that considering the form, the two teams are not having a good time even though Belgium are seen as the favorites to win. Despite being under dogs in this match, Ireland will be difficult to beat and this game will produce goals both sides.

Prediction is Belgium win or draw, 1 OR X
Prediction is OVER 2.5
Prediction is BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (YES)

ICELAND vs HUNGARY (GROUP F)

Hungary are leading group F and are looking to extending their chances of advancing past the group stages. The winner between the two will be the leader in the group. That said, Iceland are second with only a point to boast of. They, in their last five matches, have won twice, lost twice and won once, scoring 11 times and conceding 8 goals with an imaginary 7/15 points. Hungary, are not that better still, winning twice, drawing twice and loosing once, scoring 5 goals, conceding 4 goals. They have an imaginary 8/15 points. Their previous five head to head meetings has Hungary winning 2/5 and Iceland winning 3/5. In 3/5 matches, there was more than 2.5 goals and 2/5 below 2.5 goals.

Verdict is that this will be a hard match and Hungary are tipped to win it but Iceland are equally good. There will be a winner but with a very small margin.

Prediction is Hungary win or draw, 1 OR X
Prediction is OVER 2.5
Prediction is BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE(YES)

PORTUGAL vs AUSTRIA (GROUP F)

With only Hungary winning in this group, Iceland and Portugal have a point each with Austria beaten. Question is, are they going to be beaten again? Portugal are a good side and have won in 3/5 previous matches, loosing once and drawing once. They have scored 13 times, conceded 3 times and boast of 10/15 points. Their counterparts, Austria have been having a bad time on the pitch, winning twice and loosing thrice. They have scored 5 times and conceded 8 goals. They have 6/15 points from their last five matches.A head to head review of their meetings has Portugal winning in 2/5, Austria winning 1/5 and two were draws. 2/5 of their head to head matches ended up producing over 2.5 goals and the rest under.

Verdict is that Portugal might win this match considering the generosity displayed by the Austrian defense.

Prediction is Portugal win or draw, 1 OR X
Prediction is UNDER 2.5
Prediction is BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (NO)

ITALY vs SWEDEN (GROUP E)

Today's early kick off pitching Italy and Sweden is a much awaited upon match, seeing that people want to know how much Antonio Conte with his not so much qualitied squad, if there is any word like that is.

Lucky for them, 6 goals scored were in one game, playing against Malta. Croatia on the other hand have won 4/5 matches and drawn 1, collecting an imaginary 13/15 points, scoring 15 goals, one game plaid against San Marino producing ten goals. The only head to head review between the two matches shows that Spain won the match 4-2.

Turkey have won 3/5 times and lost twice, collecting 9/15 points, scoring 5 times and conceding 4 goals. A head to head review sees Spain winning 3/5 matches, and drawing 2/5 previous meetings.

Today, we have a group B early kick off pitching England vs Wales, the United Kingdom rivals and Group C's Ukraine vs N.Ireland and Germany vs Poland. As usual, lets analyze the three EURO 2016 matches for today.

ENGLAND vs WALES (GROUP B)

Group B leaders, Wales are today playing their bitter rivals, England who are in pursuit of the group's leadership by winning the International derby. A win will have them secure 4 points, which will be a point more than Wales'.

In their last five matches, England have won three, drawn one and lost one, accumulating 10/15 points. They have scored 7 goals and conceded 5 goals in all. On the other hand, Wales have only won once, loosing thrice and drawing once, collecting 4/15 points, scoring 5 goals and conceding 9 goals. A head to head review has England winning 4/5 meetings and one was a draw. One clear thing that has been is a frequent below 2.5 goals, but according to the statistics, it is clear that England are averaging almost 1.4 goals per match and Wales just 1.0 goals per match.

Verdict is that England might win this game, but Wales, having beaten a good Slovakia side, might fight for a draw or even surprise England with a win. One clear thing though is that the match will produce at least three goals.

Prediction is England win or Draw, 1 OR X.
Prediction is OVER 2.5

UKRAINE vs N.IRELAND (GROUP C)

These two teams lost their first Euro 2016 matches and have no points to boast of. They are all looking to win and maximize their chances of going past the group stages, so one must win.

Ukraine, despite loosing to Germany, displayed a good game and had been performing well prior to the loss. They have won 4/5 games collecting 12/15 points and lost one. They have scored 9 goals and conceded 6 goals. On the other hand, N.Ireland have won 2, drawn 2 and lost once, collecting 8/15 points, scoring 5 goals and conceding 2 goals. A head to head review has Ukraine winning 2/4 and the other two have been draws. It's only in 1/4 of the head to head matches that there were more than 2.5 goals, the rest were below 2.5.

Verdict is that considering their form, Ukraine look better on paper and might go for a win straight up, BUT N.Ireland on the other hand are not generous in giving away goals, having conceded 2 goals in five matches. Averaging 1.8 goals per match are Ukraine while N.Ireland average 1.0 goals. This will be a tough match.

Prediction is Ukraine win or draw, 1 OR X
Prediction is UNDER 2.5 

GERMANY vs POLAND (GROUP C)

Arguably today's big game, with the two teams having secured three points each, and all having players who can make an impact in any match.

Germany have won 3/5 matches, securing 9/15 points, scoring 11 goals and conceding 7 goals. They have lost 2/5 matches played.

JUNE 15th EURO 2016 PREDICTIONS

EURO 2016 PREDICTIONS

Yesterday was good for those who went for the double chance. The overs and unders were not as predicted. The good thing is that in betting, there is no doping, its either a win or loose. Today we go back to group A and B's Russia vs Slovakia early kick off. The hosts, France are leading by goal difference, followed by Switzerland even though they all boast of maximum points so far. Lets analyze and predict the three EURO 2016 games for today.

RUSSIA vs SLOVAKIA (GROUP B)

In their first game, Russia managed to secure a last minute draw playing England. It reflects a dismal result as displayed by the Russians, winning only one of their last five matches, drawing two and loosing two.

Their opponents, have displayed an above average performance in their last five matches, winning twice, drawing twice and loosing once only. An imaginary points tally puts them at 8/15 points, scoring 9 goals and conceding 6 goals. A head to head review of the two teams has Russia winning in their last three and loosing once to Slovakia. All 1 - 0 victories.

Verdict is that any team will win this match and very few goals will be scored, even though Slovakia look more powerful.

Prediction is Any team to win, 1 OR 2
Prediction is UNDER 2.5

ROMANIA vs SWITZERLAND (GROUP A)

Romania gave France a hard time in the first match, loosing closely to Les Blues. In their last five matches, they have not been performing well, winning once, loosing and drawing twice. An imaginary points tally has them collecting 5/15 points, scoring 10 goals and conceding 8 goals. Switzerland on the other hand have been performing averagely in their last five despite loosing thrice. They have collected 6/15 points, scoring 4 goals and conceding 6 goals.

Verdict is that Any team will win this match with very few goals scored, but Romania look more likely to win than Switzerland.

Prediction is Any team to win, 1 OR 2
Prediction is UNDER 2.5

FRANCE vs ALBANIA

The group A leaders are looking to increase their chances of going past the groups by beating Albania, which will have them securing all 6/6 points. They have been on top form having won all their last five matches and securing an imaginary maximum 15/15 points, scoring 15 goals and conceding 7 goals. Albania on the other hand have only won twice and lost thrice, collecting 6/15 points, scoring 7 goals and conceding 7 goals. Their last five head to head matches against France have had France winning thrice and Albania once. They drew once only. In three out of the five meetings, three matches had more than two goals, and the two and one.

Verdict is that considering the form displayed by France, I tip them to win this match and there will be more than two goals, The worst could be a draw,

Prediction is France win or draw, 1 OR X
Prediction is OVER 2.5

EURO 2016 PREDICTIONS

The Euro started, and sorry for the delayed match analysis due to unavoidable circumstances, but so far so good. The past is behind us but whoever thought Italy would beat Belgium albeit its dangerous attack but porous defense was right.

Watch out their fixtures after the group stages.
