Euro 2024: Analyzing the scoreline of the fiery clash between Serbia and England.

With Germany and Spain both winning their opening matches convincingly, will England follow suit and enter the game with the same enthusiasm?

In reality, England were far too strong for their three group rivals – Serbia, Denmark, and Slovenia. They only needed a secure win, not the spectacular results the media were expecting.

England are not worried about facing Serbia.

Some commentators suggest that manager Gareth Southgate will "hold back" his key players to save their energy for the knockout rounds. He will not send his troops to attack aggressively to score goals, as he needs to protect the players' legs and avoid injuries as the tournament progresses.

Serbia aims to earn points against title contenders.

This suggests that England could beat Serbia by a suitable margin, provided their opponent doesn't shoot themselves in the foot like Scotland did in Group A. The odds are quite lopsided, with England giving a 1-goal handicap, making it a losing bet (only 82), but betting on the under is risky.

Group C: Slovenia - Denmark

Slovenia and Denmark know each other very well after two previous encounters in the Euro 2024 qualifiers last year, so the underdog Slovenia can realistically aim for a draw in their opening match.

Denmark is rated higher than Slovenia.

Looking at the head-to-head results between the two teams, it's clear that Slovenia has gradually improved over time. Previously, they might have lost by 3 or 4 goals against Denmark, but in their two most recent encounters, Slovenia managed a draw at home and only narrowly lost away to Denmark.

Handicap odds for the Slovenia - Denmark match

So what will the match look like when both teams play on a neutral ground? Most commentators predict a Danish win, but in their return to the Euros since the 2000 tournament, Slovenia are looking to make an impression, and perhaps nothing would be better than surprising their old rivals, Denmark.

The market is offering odds of Denmark giving Slovenia a half-goal handicap, and most players are choosing the underdog. That's why we'll bet on the underdog.

Head-to-head confrontation:

November 18, 2003: Denmark - Slovenia 2-1

June 20, 2023: Slovenia – Denmark 1-1

February 7, 2008: Slovenia – Denmark 1-2

April 26, 2001: Denmark – Slovenia 3-0

May 1, 1997: Denmark – Slovenia 4-0

Group D: Poland - Netherlands

Grouped with France and Austria, Poland and the Netherlands will have to battle it out for a place in the knockout round. Theoretically, the Netherlands have the edge in terms of squad strength and form, but Poland's decline means the gap between them is sure to widen.

The Netherlands are strong contenders for the championship.

Poland not only has a drop in form, but a crisis of injuries means the "White Eagles" could lose key strikers like Milik or Lewandowski for their opening match. Experts acknowledge that without Lewy, Poland will not be themselves, so it's hard to believe they can hold off a strong opponent like the Netherlands.

Odds for the Poland vs. Netherlands match

The odds for the match show a significant difference, with the Netherlands giving Poland a 1-goal handicap. Nevertheless, choosing the Netherlands to win seems reasonable.
