Today will be marked by a plethora of control and friendly matches around the world, but games will also be played in some lower European leagues. The suggested odds were valid at the time the ticket was compiled.
Romania – Northern Ireland – Romania to Win @ 1.76 at 22Bet
Romania is going to the European Championship, and this was very important for football in the country. A generation that played in the semi-finals of the European Championship for youth teams five years ago has emerged and much is expected of them in the coming period. In the qualifying group, they were the best, finishing the competition undefeated, and they will go to Germany together with Switzerland, leaving behind Israel, Belarus, Kosovo, and Andorra. At the EURO, they will play against Belgium and Slovakia, and during the next week, they will learn the name of the last, fourth, rival in the group. They play their first of four control matches before the first game at the EURO against Northern Ireland at the National Arena in Bucharest. The island team did not manage to go to the European Championship and is behind one of the weaker qualifications lately. They were only more successful than San Marino, with Kazakhstan, Finland, Denmark, and Slovenia ahead of them. However, in the last match of the cycle, they improved their impression with a victory over Denmark in Belfast. Here Romania has the advantage, not only because of the home field but also because the players will want to impress coach Jordanesku and secure a ticket to the EURO.
At the 22Bet bookmaker, the odds for Romania to Win (1) are 1.76.
Spain – Colombia – Both Teams to Score @ 1.96 at 22Bet
One of the most interesting matches of the day is being played in London at the Olympic Stadium, where Spain and Colombia will meet. Thus, these two teams will clash on neutral ground, but we are convinced that the stands will be full. The Spaniards will, of course, play in the EURO in Germany, although they started the qualifiers somewhat shakily, losing in Scotland. However, apart from that loss, they won all the other matches easily and, together with the Scots, secured their place at the European Championship. This somewhat restored the shaken confidence of La Furia after a very weak performance at the World Cup in Qatar and elimination in the round of 16 by Morocco. Luis Enrique was replaced by his namesake De la Fuente, but the squad hasn’t changed much. The Colombians have a new team, following their failure to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar, and at the start of the new cycle, this time for the World Cup to be organized in two years by three countries, the USA, Canada, and Mexico, they achieved three wins and three draws. There’s no doubt that we’ll see Colombia at the next World Cup, especially since due to the change in the competition system, as many as 6 teams will go directly from the South American zone, with one more in the play-offs. If they continue with such performances, there’s no doubt that they will be part of the next biggest global football event. They are also looking forward to the Copa America this summer, where they have high ambitions. It will be interesting in London; these two teams haven’t played against each other often, just two friendly matches, and the last one, seven years ago, ended in a 2:2 draw.
We expect at least one goal from each side, and for Both Teams to Score, the odds are 1.96 at the 22Bet bookmaker.
Egypt – New Zealand – Egypt to Win @ 1.50 at 22Bet
Regarding this match, the most important fact is that it is played in Cairo and the stands will be well filled. The Pharaohs did not make it to Qatar, which was a heavy blow for Salah and company, and now Egypt is expected to qualify for the World Cup in North America. The start of the qualifiers was predictably successful, with victories over Djibouti and Sierra Leone, but they underperformed in the African Cup of Nations, ending the competition in the round of 16 with a penalty shootout loss to Congo. Thus, the Pharaohs played four matches in Ivory Coast and drew in all four. In their group, they played 2:2 three times, against Mozambique, Ghana, and the Cape Verde Islands. New Zealand seldom has the chance to play in a significant competition, except when they go to the World Cup, which only happened twice in 1982 and 2010. They also play in the Confederations Cup, and that’s about it. Now, they are in a good position to qualify for the World Cup in North America since one team from this part of the world will go to the World Cup, and Australia plays in the Asian Confederation anyway. We expect Egypt to atone for their sins from the African Cup of Nations and defeat New Zealand.
At the 22Bet bookmaker, the odds for Egypt to Win win are 1.50.
Sochaux-Montbeliard – Chateauroux – Sochaux to Win @ 2.10 at 22Bet
Here’s a match from the French National League where a regular round is being played. The team Red Star is the leader in the third division, and the second-placed team will also move up to Ligue 2. There’s a much bigger congestion at the bottom, which is not surprising since as many as six teams will be leaving this tier. One of the endangered teams is Chateauroux, although currently above the relegation line. However, this team has the same number of points as Villefranche, which is in the relegation zone, and that with a game in hand. All this is despite the excellent form of Chateauroux, which has taken ten points in the last four matches. That’s more than a third of the total points they’ve earned so far. Visiting Sochaux is not easy; the team from the city known for its automobile industry unexpectedly dropped to the third division, only because it did not secure financial guarantees, more precisely, this was not done by the club’s Chinese owner. Sochaux hasn’t found it easy in the third tier but still has some chances of reaching the second place. However, we doubt they can make up for the double-digit lag, but they are certainly closer to a win against Chateauroux.
At the 22Bet bookmaker, the odds for Sochaux to Win are 2.10.
