We have waited for the start of the play-offs for the European Championship. Soon we will find out all the participants of the Euros, and games will also be played in other continents in the qualifiers for the upcoming World Cup. The odds were valid at the time the ticket was compiled.
Georgia – Luxembourg – Georgia to Win (1) @ 1.85 at betBonanza
Only two victories separate Georgia or Luxembourg from their first qualification for a major competition. They are playing in the play-offs for the Euros in Germany thanks to good results in the Nations League. In this competition, Georgia triumphed in a group with Bulgaria, North Macedonia, and Gibraltar in Division C, while Luxembourg was second behind Turkey, but Turkey secured their qualification through the qualifiers, so it was enough that Luxembourg left behind the Faroe Islands and Lithuania. In the qualifiers, Luxembourg performed well, finishing third behind Portugal and Slovakia, and ahead of teams like Iceland and Bosnia and Herzegovina, who will also play in the play-offs. Georgia did not impress during the qualification cycle, finishing fourth in their group behind unreachable teams like Spain and Scotland, as well as Norway, leaving only Cyprus behind them. The winner of this match will play in the final against the better of the match between Greece and Kazakhstan. The match in Tbilisi will be uncertain; Luxembourg enters it in better form, but the home field could be decisive with the likes of Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, a player Luxembourg does not possess.
At the betBonanza bookmaker, the coefficient for a Home Win (1) is 1.85.
Greece – Kazakhstan – Greece will win and Total UNDER 3.5 @ 1.67 at betBonanza
Here’s the second match of this play-off group. The Greeks had their good moments in the qualifiers, even being close to direct qualification but were ultimately eliminated by a loss to the Netherlands at home. They ended up behind France and the Netherlands but ahead of the Republic of Ireland and Gibraltar. They have a second chance thanks to the Nations League, where they convincingly triumphed in Group C of Division ahead of Kosovo, Northern Ireland, and Cyprus. They are certainly the favorites, at least in this semifinal against Kazakhstan, not only because of the home ground advantage but also due to quality. The Kazakhstanis were quite solid in their qualifying group but ended up sharing only third place with Finland, while Denmark and Slovenia went on to the Euros. However, there’s the Nations League, and Kazakhstan was the best in a balanced group with Azerbaijan, Slovakia, and Belarus. Greece should not miss such a chance and fail to qualify for another major competition. Kazakhstan is in the role of the underdog and as such, could surprise. However, our suggestion is a home win with a low number of goals.
For Greece will win and Total UNDER 3.5 goals the odds are 1.67 at betBonanza.
Portugal – Sweden – Over 2.5 @ 1.62 at betBonanza
In the Portuguese city of Guimarães, a friendly duel is being played between Portugal and Sweden. The Portuguese are preparing for the Euros while the Swedes will be watching that tournament on TV. The Three Crowns selection failed to advance from a group where the first two spots were taken by Belgium and Austria, so their third place brought them nothing since they were very weak in the Nations League and dropped from Division B to C. Clearly, this Scandinavian team needs a serious restart after also missing the World Cup in Qatar. Such is not the case for Portugal, who are certainly among the favorites for a high finish in Germany and this could be Cristiano Ronaldo’s last Euros. Portugal easily passed their group in competition with Slovakia, Luxembourg, Iceland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Liechtenstein, winning all 10 matches. In Germany, they will play against the Czech Republic and Turkey, and they will get another opponent after the play-offs. In previous matches between these two rivals, there have been plenty of goals, and since this is a control match, we believe there will be goals now too.
Our suggestion is Over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.62 at the betBonanza bookmaker.
Saudi Arabia – Tajikistan – Saudi Arabia will win and Total UNDER 3.5 @ 1.87 at betBonanza
Qualifications for the World Cup in North America in the Asian conference continue. The cycle was interrupted for the Asian Cup held in January, where Qatar once again became the best team on the largest continent. Both Saudi Arabia and Tajikistan were part of the continental championship played in Qatar, with the Tajikistan team doing much better, being stopped only in the quarterfinals by Jordan. On the other hand, more was expected from Saudi Arabia, especially after their performance at the World Cup where they were the only team to beat the eventual world champions, Argentina. In the Asian Cup, Saudi Arabia was eliminated in the round of 16 by South Korea, although they had two wins and a draw in the group stage. Tajikistan advanced to the knockout phase with just one win but had an easier path afterward. In this group, two rounds have been played; the Saudis won their previous two matches against Pakistan and Jordan, while Tajikistan drew with Jordan and convincingly won in Pakistan. We expect a win for the Saudis but not a goal-fest in this match.
For the combination of Saudi Arabia will win and Total UNDER 3.5 goals, the odds are 1.87 at the betBonanza bookmaker.
