I do think Spain is the best team in Europe right now and not because of the players ...but simply because of their style that cannot be matched even after 10 years since they won the last Euro. Also , Portugal had a bit of luck yesterday and they should be happy with that 1-1 so my eyes at World Cup and on this Nations Legue are on Spain for sure.

Croatia have been playing badly for a long time now and are not the strong team they were 5 or 10 years ago... Although there are a lot of experienced players in the team who play for top clubs... True, Austria have never beaten Croatia in their history of head-to-head encounters... I think it would be logical to bet on both teams to score...

As promised,,, here is the almost 50x bet I made. It is slightly below 50x but I made it with 3.5 USDT (Which is over 0.1 mbtc right now) so it is effective as 0.1mbtc bet at 50x Smiley

If I win, I will pay it as bonus pool prize for not making a fee.

My sorry in advance for picking games that I do not even know, I went with "pretty" odds on the featured games Sportsbet showed  Grin

Be careful with Croatia today guys, we are missing a lot of defenders and some very important players in other positions like Perišić and Brozović. Modrić also played CL final a couple of days ago and he is far from certain. My betting advice is skip or both to score for this one.

No matter how many defenders Croatia misses tonight and other important players like the one you mention,I am pretty sure and confident that even the bench of Croatia is much better than Austria if we compare both teams quality,yes even we compare the bench of Croatia with the first 11 of Austria.I placed a bet on Croatia to win to nil and that is what I think it will happen,I don't think that Austria is capable of surprising Croatia tonight,of course if both teams play at full power because some teams may not take this event as seriously as the Euro or the World Cup for example.
There is more. For instance our mentality, I am not sure how serius we will be against opponent that isn't really Tier 1 in competition that is not that important. Austria will play on 100 % for sure and will try to take us down, don't think we will do the same.

Then our manager Dalic lost his father and left camp to take care of everything and mourn properly. So we have bad preparation, lots of absences and questionable motive. Lots of question marks and game best to be skipped when betting for serious money.

Bahaha Spain-Portugal gave the first draw, so that scuppered me quick. Just hope it doesn't do that for my actual draw picks. The other thing I did NOT see coming were the 8 cards, not quite a friendly game I keep making it out to be?

Meanwhile Georgia kicked off their League C campaign with a win (duh) but I followed them when they won League D wonder if this could give them a chance to promote into League B (where they will of course relegate again heh).

Well done luckyguy, but I'll stop letting you win so easy this day's games =D

What a rush of luck and exact scores has made luckyguy (never best say that nickname hahaha)

For my part im the oposite one , but Yesterday Poland Wales was so close to end 1-1 and today Spain have the 2-1 to win but they cant make it. So im in the bottom alone.

It looks like I'm having a very lucky day again.  Grin  After predicting the exact score of the Poland - Wales game, I managed to do the same for both of the games today also. I'm still very surprised to have a this much strong start to the pool in fact.  Cheesy  I don't have any idea how far I can go like this but I'm just enjoying the nine points I have collected so far.  Grin

The result of the Spain - Portugal game wasn't surprising to me because I believed that the game was a close one to end in a draw. There was no big strength difference between these two teams. However, I wasn't very confident about my prediction for the Czech Republic - Switzerland game. I was worried about how much the away team would be capable of in this game. Thankfully, I have left this behind successfully too.  Smiley

In just two days you are far ahead of the second place and big congrats for getting all three out of three games correct,that is something new in a pool as far as happenings go here.Personally I had both games as draws,Spain 0-0 and Switzerland 1-1 and I never thought Switzerland to lose the game,maximum they would get a draw.On this personal level I climbed two places from yesterday so I get this day as a positive overall.The fact that Switzerland lost though it shows that most teams do not take this tournament seriously so it will be difficult in terms of predictions as it looks here,beside you everybody else is almost in near equal results.

I expected a win from Spain to be honest and seeing Ronaldo on the bench was also a reason to back Spain to win, and they were ahead for most of the game only to give it up with less than 10 minutes to play.

I checked the H2H between Switzerland and Czech before the game and I saw that Czech have actually won the last 3 game against Switzerland, but I decided to in validate those result simply because of how long ago the games were, the latest being as far back as 2008, these are completely different teams and era, I said to myself and opted for the 1-0 Win for the Swiss team.

Spain itself has a pretty nice team at the moment. A completely different team than the past World Cups. We also had to make room for the youth. And now they all play at strong clubs. This team also won 5-0 against Germany a while ago, you don't do that just like that. I don't think Spain has a chance at the title, but if they have a good draw they can go far. A draw is of course very important in a tournament. It is already June, the World Cup is now starting to come into view.

Luis Enrique is a top coach, in addition Spain have a young promising team now...
Enrique has done a good job with this Spain side, they move the ball around well and can dominate play, but in terms of converting opportunities to goals, spain still has some job to do, they are not very efficient in front. Portugal on the other hand in today's game could barely keep the ball and looked more alive when Ronaldo was substituted in. They are lucky to have been able to get behind and the Spanish defense to get an equaliser. Both teams still have a lot of job to do before the world cup.

Have no idea why Ronaldo did not start, I guess fatigue. He came on later and played without problems.
The coach may be trying to get them used to playing without Ronaldo, likewise giving other younger talents a chance to get confident.

Well i didnt expect Cristiano Ronaldo outside of the eleven starting. Its because some injury? or only to prove some other players into the rotation?

Lets see how i end in this first leg of predictions.

I forgot to say, quite a good amount of prices for the winners.

I must admit I am really happy with the size of our pool. We have a couple of extra players added to the usual mix of us who play all the pools  Grin

Grin Although the previous 2 friendlies have ended in 0-0 draws, I think Spain will win today... According to the statistics, there could be a lot of goals after goalless matches today...

looking at starting line-ups, both teams are taking this match pretty seriously
Ronaldo is on the bench, but he is on the bench after all, I thought he will be on his yacht tonight, TBH

and Spain is also playing in a pretty strong team, so expecting harsh duel, far from glamorous friendly match, as KDB put it, when asked is he looking forward to Nations league - no, I don't

I think that the game between Spain and Portugal is a beautiful game to watch no matter which result is the final one.The odds are just an assumption of the bookies in such events where both teams are equally strong in terms of quality and performance in their team.In such events I do not suggest to look at the odds or what the bookies say but to choose whatever personal feelings we have for this game.The odd may be 2 for Spain and 4 for Portugal but if I believe Portugal will win I place a bet on them not caring much what the bookies say.This is true only in events when two strong teams play against each other.
Portugal are very fond of defensive football, and Spain can also play cautiously against such an opponent, because if Portugal manages to score an early goal, they can close on the defensive and hold the score. Based on this, I believe that the match will be cautious with a small amount of goals, one goal can decide the outcome of the match. It's hard to say who will be the winner here, I think the chances are equal.
It is true that Portugal has good defense lineup but it is not solid also. Spain is favorite if we compare between Spain and Portugal. Spain has good front line who can destroy the defense line of Portugal. But this match will be very competitive.

Not long now till kick off. Spain are missing some  notable players with the likes of de gea and Laporte missing. Thiago is expected to play and would probably make the key difference as he can easily outclass Fernandes. In turns off attack I feel this is where Spain will come up short, even with recent performances I wonder if they can score if the game becomes fast pace. I expect Portugal to win, dominating the second half. Looking forward to it.
