Soccer fans are in for a treat with Euro 2024, and on Thursday, we've got another three exciting matches to enjoy.
Soon, the number of daily games will drop to two (then just one), so now is the perfect time for same-day parlay bettors to dive into the action. Let’s see what we can come up with here. Read on for our parlay tips for 06/20/2024.
Parlay picks for today
Thursday’s three Euro 2024 matches will take place at 10:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 4:00 PM ET.
Ahead of this thrilling day of major-tournament soccer, as the Three Lions look to book their place in the knockouts, here’s a three-leg parlay to keep things interesting, paying just over +621:
Both Teams to Score - Slovenia vs Serbia
The first game of the day on Thursday sees Slovenia and Serbia go head-to-head, and as suggested in my match preview, we could see goals.
Both teams will fancy themselves to do damage, while the Serbs, in particular, need to adopt a more aggressive approach if they’re to give themselves a decent chance of advancing.
At the start of the tournament, this was likely the game that both pinpointed as winnable, so we should see two teams going for it here.
After all, neither has a recent history of clean sheets, and both also have a history of scoring against each other, with both scoring and conceding home and away in UEFA Nations League action back in 2022.
Christian Eriksen Shot On Target - Denmark vs England
Those who’ve read my predictions and tips article ahead of this game will know I’m pretty keen on Eriksen at odds of +163 with bet365 to get a shot on target.
The Great Dane looked like his old dangerous self in that first game against Slovenia, scoring a well-taken goal after slipping into the box with ease as he always has.
I’ve also added Eriksen to register a shot on target to my Denmark vs England bet builder, but why not include him here too, as he really does look nicely priced.
In a game of this nature, he’ll likely be afforded space to get on the ball, especially in transition, and we know he’s no stranger to shooting from range.
At the end of the day, Eriksen took five shots against Slovenia, not only hitting the target but scoring, and he’ll be hungry for more here.
Italy to Score Over 0.5 Goals - Spain vs Italy
Rounding things off, I like the Italians to score against Spain. Sure, the Spanish kept a clean sheet against Croatia in that first game, but they gave up plenty of chances, conceding 2.27 xG, so don’t be surprised if this Italy team does some damage, especially on the break.
La Roja will push and they will look to press high up the pitch, which should mean that the Italians can play on the counter, a tactic that they’re certainly not unfamiliar with, and they’ve got pace and directness through players such as Chiesa.
When the pair met back in 2023, the Italians got on the scoreboard, and the fact that they scored both home and away against England in qualifying bodes well.
