OK, what am I missing here?:
The biggest underdog in today's round is Romania. Betting on them to win with Belgium, you get odds of even x6.75, for Belgium, it's x1.49.
Romania won their first game against Ukraine quite comfortably, 3:0, while Belgium lost to Slovakia 0:1.
Now, Ukraine has defeated Slovakia, so it's hard to say that the Romanians had an easier opponent than Belgium.
So why on earth is Belgium a favourite here? I'd expect the odds to be the other way around.
Am I the only one seeing this as a great betting opportunity and possibly an oddsmakers' mistake?
The thing about this is, a single game win doesn’t make a weaker team to be competitive, that’s football. The almost x7 given to Romanian to win in this match when compared to the x1.5 given to Belgium is just logical. Romanian remains the under dog in this tie no matter how we would put it, Belgium having a weaker start means they need a win to be in contention to qualify here and that’s why they have the least odd
Although the way Romania played against Ukraine I will say the match is a worthy risk. I will use a strategy I once read in this forum. That is Play Romania to win and then if they take the lead I will play Belgium to win or draw. Because Romania taking the league means Belgium odds will definitely increase.
I had bet that France wouldn't win, and I was right, but I didn't really enjoy the game, I was hoping for at least a few goals
I prefer the Netherlands team yesterday than France without Mbapeé
If France face Germany or Spain without Mbapeé I predict they will have serious problems. With the player, the team changes a lot and becomes much stronger
Seriously the game between Netherlands and France was off what I had actually predicted because, the Dutch In this competition looks stronger than we have seen them In the past years. Although a Mbappe in that pitch would have made a difference but I perfectly understand that it was better not to risk him at this stage now. Also Deschamp to me definitely needs to get bold with some of his selections, a pairing of Kante and Rabiot isn’t going on so well to me. Rabiot as carrier of the ball isn’t good at it, I will prefer Camavinga who to me holds the ball, travels more with the ball and also confident more when taking the ball from his defense to through the midfield and Camavinga is better at that. Also a priority center forward needs to be introduced other than Marcus Thuram, some like Kolo Muani or even Oliver Giroud
