7.5 and 3.4 odds in Quarter-Final Tips
We've teamed up with The Football Punned it to find some selections for you over the course of the Euro's. His outright predictions are already holding value.
Hello and welcome to our continued coverage of the Euro’s thanks to
“The Football Punned It.”
1pt N'Golo Kanté to be shown a card at 15/2
With France sitting on six cards and Portugal on eight, a competitive match like this usually means a busy referee. The game state, especially if one team leads, is likely to see an increase in fouls.
N'Golo Kanté averages 2.45 tackles and 1.36 fouls per 90 minutes. He’s the prime candidate to commit a tactical foul to break up a counterattack, often leading to a booking. With no bookings so far, he doesn't have to worry about suspension and can throw himself into challenges with his usual relentless energy.
Expect a rigid game with little end-to-end attacking. Results often overshadow performances, and France may be remembered as much better than they actually are in the future.
1.5pt Bernardo Silva 1+ Shot On Target at 3.4
Bernardo Silva is averaging 0.67 shots on target per game. With this match likely to open up once someone scores, Silva is one of Portugal’s top candidates to take a shot on goal.
He averages 1.47 shots per game over the year.
While he often plays deeper for City, his ability to take shots regardless of his role makes this bet appealing. 5 shots so far and a goal, he’ll almost certainly have a speculative effort at least today.
Cheeky forward thinking bet for tomorrow before full breakdown.
Switzerland vs England
1.5pts Xhaka to commit 1+ Fouls @ even
Betfair's Superboost has Granit Xhaka at evens to commit a foul. Large portions of the game might see him and Freuler passing around 35 yards from England’s goal, but with Switzerland’s ability to counterattack, expect tactical fouls from Xhaka, potentially earning bookings.
