In a friendly match with Ireland, Portugal won 3 - 0 with two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, a first goal is from Joao Felix. In his two goals, the first goal is magnificent and shows Ronaldo's great skills. I believe no goalkeeper can make a save against that shot and with two goals in a last friendly match before Euro 2024, Cristiano shown that he is good enough to appear in Portuguese main squad in this Euro.

He will have to play alternatively with young players and will not play all minutes in all matches for Portugal at this age. This match and his general performances in this season with Al Nassr in Saudi Professional League show that he is still useful for his team but the coach must use him cleverly.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been outstanding for Portugal in the past years carry the country along and also doing it currently is something that amused me at times considering his age, his brace In the international friendly game against Ireland has shown that Cristiano Ronaldo is still fit enough to participate fully in the upcoming Euro 2024 at Germany.
Cristiano Ronaldo will perform well in this year Euro 2024 competition considering his good form last season for Al Nassr I believe this Euro 2024 will be his last football dance in this competition for Portugal I believe with his efforts and other of his team mate Portugal will go thus far in this year Euro 2024.

The truth is it is a shame for Enes Ünal, a great player of the Turkish national team, however they have a very good team and can make the difference, personally I also think like you, I position Portugal as first in their group, but as long as the coach knows how to handle the kids who are anti cr7 because Bruno and a few others find it difficult not to pass the player too much, then you have to add these things, as a coach I would not even call BRUNO, I would call another player who would do a much better job and with that I would make way for new generation relief players who at least let themselves be guided and advised by the veterans and can do a better job and not have what happened in Qatar happen again.

As someone who watched super league because I like betting on it (I would suggest to everyone, it's quite easy to make some money from that league) so I know plenty of their players, and of course we have all seen what Arda guler did.

I have to say, they have preferred some players I am not familiar with during the last Italy friendly, don't know if it was just to see some of the players they want to cut, but in the end I know that if they do go out with their "ideal" eleven, and manager doesn't do some stupid decision making, they are actually quite good. I believe that they could probably do something very good, like semi finals or so, it looks like they are capable by sheer talent, we just need to see if manager does well.

For me Turkey is one of the best teams I have seen play, of course they played against a giant like Italy, that's why I have always thought that when we have to find the best positions for this team, the youngest can be a solution, Arda Guler could be one of the stars who has not been given many minutes in the friendlies just so that he does not get injured, and this is something that can be understood, in fact in Madrid he is a promise, and I think that Turkey lacked much more to show in that friendly against Italy, for me Turkey has much more, and that is something that we have not seen yet.

Now that's a point to hold about friendly games and I feel that's why many teams do feel the urge to continue winning because like you said no team or coach would prefer losing a match because even if there is no point attached to it , it's sure demoralizes the mentality of the players involved in it and also reduces the team spirit although it's certain that friendly games dont really carry the same flare as the tournament games but I still do enjoy watching it, for me anything soccer is worth watching.

I only watch friendly games and do not try to bet on them because I know the teams are not going to be taking the game very serious. It is mostly doing friendly that you can see a highly rated nation get defeated by a lower nation. It is only players that have a goal record to chase that takes friendly serious. Ronaldo is one of those players that do not take friendly games as a joke because he is going to be playing with the same seriousness that he uses in regular games for friendly matches and I love to watch him play. I have been surprised by the friendly games between the nations that will be playing in the UEFA Euro 2024 tournament, they are not showing us that we will be getting a quality football tournament but I would not be too quick to make my conclusions since friendlies are always different from the main matches.

It’s true players don’t give their best in friendlies and coaches also don’t take it seriously and they use it just to gain match fitness for the players. They make sure to utilize every player in the team that way they make too many changes just so everyone can play. Doing so will make the performance of the team to depreciate.

Yes apart from the Keeping fit of a thing that makes managers to rotate the players in during friendly matches, there are also tactical experiments before the competition by the coaches to see if some players will fit in a role perfectly as the presumed. The other important thing is that the number of injuries in the past friendly matches before a major tournament has reduced because some coaches do not just over use their key

You have a point, staying away from friendlies is the best thing to do else you end up losing your money. Players approach friendlies with an unserious mindset and too many changes done affects the performance of the team and outcome of the game. I always avoid betting on friendlies, i rather wait till a serious competition commences than to lose my money.

The thing is this is the period where high odds are flying around and you know how gambling is, the higher the risk the bigger the reward and many gamblers just have to place that bet. I don’t warn against betting friendly games but my advice is always that the risk involved is always higher than a competitive football.

Friendly matches are not for betting, that's true. Often the coach in friendly matches wants to see what form the player is in and he may make too many substitutions, and the importance of winning is not so great. I rarely watch friendly matches, perhaps only if there are no other matches that I would like to watch. Today we can watch Portugal - Ireland, they may want to win after losing to Croatia, no one wants to start the tournament after several defeats.

I agree with you, friendly matches are not matches you should be betting, as most countries would want to future players that they might not use during a major competition, and sometimes some of the big players don't really take some of the games very serious because nothing is really involve. Ordinary because of the unseriousness that will be attached to the game, it is not ideal for anybody to place a bet on friendly matches. The importance of friendly matches is mostly to assimilate players together and try to form a team out of them, so it's not a waste of time, is it's one way to easily choice a team formation ahead of a serious competition.

Friendly matches seem to be a final preparation condition for several ways that can indeed be used to trick opponents considering the Euro is only a matter of days away from starting.

Some friendly matches are only as their relaxant and as a final preparation before finally really exerting their strength in the Euro later so it is quite natural that they hold back a little so that the opponent will not know their plans in preparation for the euro this time.

Statistically, some big teams still dominate to have a strong probability of winning but on the other hand we also still have to continue to wait for how the continuation will happen later because for now we cannot make it seem as if one club can easily be in the final especially seeing some young players in the national team at this time there are some who are quite prominent but we cannot know for sure whether it will match expectations or not.

You can't really count on the table these friendly matches. As there is no pressure to win, these athletes have no eagerness to put their best foot forward on their game. It is like a warm-up for these athletes and enjoy the game without so much pressure.

Apart from anything actually as I said earlier where this can also be a distraction for some other teams who see them compete because however sometimes friendly matches do not really count because in some conditions this does not make them compete really seriously but in the end it still becomes that for the opponent to be able to analyze the strength so that this friendly match sometimes becomes an option for the real match in the Euro later.

I've seen some pretty interesting friendlies like England, France or Portugal against Croatia a few days ago.
It seems that some teams only use this as a warm-up and do not fully unleash their strength where some core players are not even played at all which makes us definitely realize that this is apart from heating up the fuel, this is also used as a diversion option so that their scheme at the Euro will not be read which makes them not too focused on results but some approaches to schemes or formations that could indeed be suitable for them to apply later in the competition.

England couldn't even beat Iceland in a friendly for example no matter how much they tried. They even lost. So this is also a good example to be careful while betting on friendly games. Grin

What are your betting options for the first 2 days? I feel like the favourites in 2 out of 4 games might not be able to win. The ones I mean are Switzerland and Spain.

So my choices for now are:

Hungary @3.30
Draw or Croatia @1.83

I know there are big risks but why not make it more exciting? Grin

Losing in friendly match is nothing related to the team’s performance, it is called friendly because it is not used in any where to judge the team performance, it is just to give the players more confidence to play against each other and get to know themselves again before the beginning of the tournament since they have been playing for different teams in their respective clubs.

Betting on will be good in my opinion because they are the team I will be supporting in the tournament, they have good players that are on form and can do better since they both wants to win or play for their nation.

Why did you have so much confidence of Croatia to win or draw against Spain?
I don’t think Spain will lose their opening match of the tournament, but just as Spain wouldn’t want losing, Croatia will also be willing to win or the point in the match but it will be difficult for them.

Hungary on the other hand might not even play a draw against Switzerland.

The last title Italy played a friendly match against Bosnia-Herzegovina ahead of the tournament. With Davide Frattesi scoring in the 38th minute, Italy won 1-0. In EURO 2024, Italy will be in Group B alongside Spain, Croatia, and Albania, while Bosnia-Herzegovina won’t be competing in EURO24. A few days ago, Italy also played a friendly match against Turkey, resulting in a 0-0 draw.

Yes ,you are right . Italy team performed very well in the last match .They won the match easily againt Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team. Bosnia and Herzegovina team performance was not good,they don't work on their weaknesses and did the same mistakes in the last match . Fans were not happy from the performance of Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team and they wanted good match but Bosnia and Herzegovina team don't gave their hundred percent. No player were looking in good form and whole team shots were only 8 and from which 3 were on target. The possessions percentage of Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team was very low and that was only 36 percent. But Italy whole team performance was excellent and they were in looking in good body language because they did hard work day and night. They did one goal and in the comparison Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team could not do any goal and Italy shots were 17 and from which 6 were on target and the passes of Italy team were 647 and that was good performance.

Before EURO 2024, in a friendly match played at the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland defeated Turkey 2-1. Karol Grzegorz Swiderski scored Poland’s opening goal in the 12th minute, while Nicola Zalewski scored the winner in the 90th minute. Turkey’s lone goal came from Barış Alper Yılmaz in the 77th minute. Unfortunately, both Swiderski and Robert Lewandowski sustained injuries during the match and may miss Poland’s opening game in the tournament.

I also do not consider friendly matches especially international standards which involves two countries. The result of the friendly matches do not represent the true capacity of the countries. You will be surprised that a country that lost two consecutive times during friendly matches will come to the tournament and not lose any single match and in the other hand, the one that has been successful in the friendly matches will find it difficult to qualify from the group matches.

Also as you have said, I also avoid these friendly matches while placing bets. You will be very much surprised that a 1.05 odd will not play and in the end you will waste money. Sometimes the most preferable option to go is betting by goals, but then over 2.5 goals odds will be so infinitesimal. The best to do is to avoid them totally.

That is why they call it a friendly game; players are not forcing themselves to participate in order to avoid injury before the tournament begins. In my opinion, it is advisable to wager on tournaments rather than friendly games because they may disappoint you because they will not put forth the same effort as they do in new contests. I normally bet on tough matches because I know there will be different challenges and large clubs that you support can win since it is not a normal game; they will put in extra effort to win the game and make the fans happy, allowing the team to rank higher among others.

The goal of the friendly game is to get the players in shape so that they are not be weak when the real competition started. Another thing they should do is evaluate the performance of new players before signing them to see if they can compete well. Some friendly match game players are putting in extra effort so that they can prove to themselves that they are good and capable of performing well in the competition. Let us see who will win the Euro this time. I am not familiar with Portugal's season performance in friendly matches, but let us see if they can compete with others when the Euro begins.

God, we have to explain this again and over and over again? Guys DONT bet on friendlies, is imposible to know anything, you never know how much effort are putting the teams in the match, of is a coach decided to put only subs or prove something weird, because is a non sesnse or pointless match, so avoid it at all cost.

Many people seem to bet without looking at what the team is competing in, a friendly match is not a match that reflects the true strength of the team so sometimes many get stuck and lose money when we risk a lot of money for the victory of the team that is considered the favorite in the match, many of us here have warned that betting on a friendly match obviously has a big risk but sometimes we can only give a warning because it is possible that they have other views or references in taking the bet.

For those of us who really like to bet, of course it's better to wait a few more days to do it, yes, the euro is about to start and the opening match is of course a good start for us to be able to continue our penchant for get a little profit in football betting, Germany who will face Scotland will of course be a fierce match, but I think Germany in the next match is indeed worthy of us to be the favorite to win. My prediction germany will win with score 2-0 from scotland in first match in euro.

I don't like sharing my bet tickets on here otherwise you'd have seen a game I bet which was 11odds and it turned out to be the same way I predicted.
Following my hunches is something I do and I will continue doing it. These friendlies can also be used to win millions, yeah it's kinda riskyans stuff but it is what it is.

My first prediction between goes for the game between Germany the host country and Scotland. I'm predicting both side to score and for Germany to get the late winner in that game. They have the qualities, I'm not just co convinced with who should play the defensive midfielder role.

France up against Austria should be another game to end as a fulltime draw, I'd say 1-1.

Poland has successfully to beat Turkey 2-1 yesterday and this is their last friendly match before they fight at Euro 2024 but in this match Poland have to lost their captain and their main striker Lewandowski because he was got injured and yesterday Lewandowski was playing since the beginning of match but on 33 minutes of first half Lewandowski was replaced by Kacper Urbanski i think this is big lost because since qualification stages for forward lines Poland always be rely on Lewandowski so he is important player for Poland and Poland manager Michal Probierz still hopes Lewandowski only got light injured so when the tournament started Lewandowski can be played again

I think Poland condition is very unfavourable because for the current tournament they have to lost several striker because before the match against Turkey they have already to lost their other striker Arkadiusz Milik and Michal Probierz and according to the schedules Poland will facing Netherlands and with their condition i highly doubt Poland can able to overcomes Netherlands moreover Netherlands condition is more good than them because there was no key players from this team who got injured even recently Netherlands has successfully to beat Iceland with huge scores 4-0

There are only 4 days left for the opening match: Germany - Scotland.

The odds I can see on TrustDice: Germany: 1.26 Draw: 5.60 Scotland: 11.00

1.26 is just too low to bet on but I might use it on a multi. I don't expect Germany to lose points here, what do you guys think?

this match is perfect to launch into a small bet, obviously in favor of Germany dry and then maybe there are some nice options with handicap match or with Asian score.
Since the cup and championship matches are over I only have these left to bet on, unfortunately

Italy will not go far in the EURO 2024 with their current performance, they must improve in their games to advance in this tournament. Italy is in a tough group, they can compete with Albania, but not with Spain or Croatia, which can be seen by their performance in friendly games. Italy drew their first friendly game against Türkiye with only 2 shots on target, I wasn't expecting this poor performance from Italy, who have the strength to defeat Türkiye. In their last friendly game against Bosnia and Herzegovina, they managed to score 1 goal out of 17 shots. This is the same Bosnia and Herzegovina that England defeated 3:0 in their last two games, with 25 shots. Spalleti needs to improve his players ahead of their next tournament games.

I have to agree with you, with sadness and deep bitterness. Unfortunately we have stopped developing young players and as a result we have a practically broken national team. We have no great players to replace the current ones and as they retire we simply lose pieces.
Italy will not go far in the EURO 2024.
