Euro 2024 both teams to score prediction – games in focus
Georgia v Luxembourg – 6/5
Our first both teams to score (BTTS) pick comes in the form of Georgia v Luxembourg, which we feel could be a tight game with both sides capable of finding the back of the net. They scored 12 and 13 goals in 10 qualifying games respectively, and earned a play-off place via their UEFA Nations League performances.
Georgia in particular boast a wealth of attacking talent that are capable of scoring in any given moment, notably star player Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who helped Napoli win the Scudetto last season with his 12 Serie A goals.
However, Luxembourg are an improving footballing nation, and are only eight places below Georgia (77th) in the FIFA World Rankings in 85th. Thus, we think both teams could cause each other problems.
Bosnia and Herzegovina v Ukraine – 11/12
Both of these teams possess top strikers that are very capable of scoring in this tie, notably veteran Edin Dzeko for Bosnia and Artem Dovbyk for Ukraine. Dzeko has scored 18 Super Lig goals for high-flying Fenerbahce already this season, while Dovbyk has netted 14 times for La Liga's surprise package Girona.
Bosnia were poor in qualifying, scoring only nine goals in 10 games to finish in fifth place in their group, but they earned a play-off spot based on their impressive Nations League display. Ukraine finished third in their group behind Euro 2020 finalists England and Italy, scoring 11 goals in eight matches.
There are a huge 47 places between these sides in the world rankings, and Ukraine are favourites to progress, but that does not mean Bosnia are not capable of causing them some trouble.
Israel v Iceland – 20/23
Israel are slight favourites in what could be a tight game between two fairly evenly-matched teams. There are only two places between them in the world rankings, with Iceland actually ranked slightly higher in 73rd.
Iceland also scored more goals in qualifying (17) compared to Israel's 11, and so pose an attacking threat that should see them get on the scoresheet. Israel's chances of scoring will largely fall on Eran Zahavi, who has been on excellent form with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The striker is the UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL) top scorer with eight goals, even though his team got knocked out of the competition, while he boasts 29 club goals in total over all competitions this season. Nonetheless, both teams to score here looks a safe bet.
Wales v Finland – 5/4
Our last pick for both teams to score is Wales v Finland, another match that could go down to the wire. Both teams have plenty of attacking threat, with Wales looking at the Premier League experience of the likes of Brennan Johnson and Harry Wilson, while Finland can rely on Teemu Pukki.
The former Norwich City striker now places for Minnesota in MLS, and has two goals in his opening four appearances. The 33-year-old also boasts 39 goals for his country, and remains their biggest attacking threat.
Wales are actually 31 places above Finland in the world rankings, despite scoring eight goals fewer in qualifying. Nonetheless, we think both teams could score in this one.
