Hi Friend,


As per my e-mail last night, yesterday I felt very off - today much better, so it must have been a 24 hour thing!

The "REVIEW" e-mail should be in your inbox at the same time as this one arrives so look out for it.

The football yesterday didn't go as planned in terms of all the results. Not a single BTTS which was irritating.

Finland scored in seconds against Russia and I thought this was going to get the day off to the perfect start until the goal was ruled out!

Italy put in yet another dominant display and Wales were the big surprise winning AGAIN moving to 4 points.



BETTING FOR THURSDAY EVENING AND NIGHT

14:00 - Ukraine v North Macedonia

Bet 1: Ukraine win (1.74 on the Exchange)
Stake: £15


17:00 - Denmark v Belgium

Bet 2: Both Teams to score - Yes (2.12 on the exchange)
Stake: £7

Bet 3: Belgium win (2.00 on the exchange)
Stake: £7



20:00 - Netherlands v Austria

Bet 4: Netherlands win & both teams to score (yes) (3.35 on the Exchange or 3.20 on the sportsbook)
Stake: £13

Remember, this market may be listed as "MATCH ODDS AND BTTS" or "HOME AND BTTS". What we are basically betting on is a win for the Netherlands and both to score in the game.

Bet 5: Both teams to score - yes (1.79 on the exchange and 1.75 on the sportsbook)
Stake: £10



ANALYSIS - UKRAINE v NORTH MACEDONIA

In the first round, Macedonia were probably a little disappointing from what I expected. They were good in qualifying and they did nicely (lucky) to get a goal back against Austria but still leaked a further 2 goals. The Ukraine narrowly lost to Netherlands but only 3-2. It shows me that they can score goals - it also shows me that they can concede, but the attack of Macedonia isn't quite the attack of The Netherlands. I have gone for a home win here and I'm staking £15 because this should win comfortably.

This does actually feel like I should be lumping on a little bit more as I think Macedonia are going to find this physically tougher and they will get given less than they were against Austria!


ANALYSIS - DENMARK v BELGIUM

I've gone for two different bets here. The first bet is a BTTS (both teams to score) and the second bet is a Belgium win.

Now, I am not saying we will win these both but the one is a hedge against the other and I'll explain why.

In the first game, Denmark v Finland, tragedy struck in terms of the Christian Eriksen situation. Denmark were unhappy that they had to continue that match and ultimately fell to a defeat even though they were 100% against carrying one but apparently UEFA threatened them with a 0-3 loss if they did not take to the field  - this after one of their players suffered cardiac arrest.

Belgium were superb first game.

Either we are going to get a reaction from Denmark or Belgium are going to walk over them. The hedge of the Belgium win covers us if Denmark don't perform at all.


ANALYSIS - NETHERLANDS v AUSTRIA

The Netherlands defence should be of concern for them and it won't be any different tonight. I do expect them to concede goals especially without De Ligt and Van Dijk. Their first choice pairing. I do expect Austria to score at least a goal here. They showed signs that they're quite an open side against Macedonia and scored 3 in that game. Confidence will be more than high in terms of goal scoring.

It did feel like that defensively, they were not safe and the Netherlands carry so much more threat compared to Macedonia. We have two bets on this one. A BTTS and a HOME WIN AND BTTS. Very similar bets but I'm quietly confident in winning these both!


Enjoy the football

Thank you
