It’s been almost a week since the Euros kicked off, and while we haven’t been treated to any major upsets outside of Slovakia beating Belgium, there’s still plenty of time for that to happen 🇸🇰
The Slovakia locker room didn't hold back on their celebrations after defeating Belgium 🎉🇸🇰

Today marks the best match-up of the tournament so far, with Spain and Italy taking to the field for the late game. But more importantly, can Jude Bellingham and this year’s Euro favorite (+390) get it done vs Denmark? Their first test begins with a squad that is the darling of the Euros 🇩🇰

After an electric start against Serbia, where Bellingham snuck in a class header off a Saka cross, the Three Lions started to fade. Their offense was hardly able to create many advantages and even the defensive side of the ball looked shaky. While the outcome was never really in doubt, England fans would have liked to see a more dominant performance from start to finish 😏
Jude Bellingham wasn't missing this header 🎯💥

Still, it’s hard to bet against this England team, and today’s game against Denmark should allow them to get momentum as they move further into the tournament 👇
Outside of Portugal’s Group E, England is in one of the weakest groups - right now they are -750 to emerge as the Group C winner, the highest odds of any team at the moment
Harry Kane is one of the strongest players at the 9 spot, but did not get many touches last game. Expect him to bu4rst onto the score sheet with an assist or goal (+140 anytime goalscorer, +490 to nab an assist)
England ML: -150, Denmark ML: +490, Tie: +260

However let’s be honest, we are all tuning in tomorrow to watch Spain and Italy go to battle. The defending Italian champions held on against Albania after allowing a goal in the first minute, while Spain put together the most comprehensive performance of the tournament so far, routing Croatia 3-0 🇪🇸
Spain has gone 10-2-1 in their last 13 competitions, beating Italy 2-1 in both of the last games the two countries have played
Mikel Oyarzabal, Rodri, Pedri, and Alvaro Morata are all capable goal scorers and should give the Italian defense hell
Spain ML: +120, Italy ML: +270, Tie: +200
When: 3PM EST on FOX

Serbia and Slovenia is probably the least compelling game of the daym but it could offer the highest-scoring outcome 👀
Despite playing a rigid English defense that resorted to locking up the box and attempting to control possession, the Serbians were still able to generate some shots
Slovenia does not offer the same kind of resistance, so I expect both teams to score in this one. Right now betting over 2.5 goals is right around even odds at -104, which could be a worthy standalone bet
Trivia Question: When was the last time England won a Euro Cup?
For My Parlay Gurus
Serbia was dealt an unfortunate hand, having to deal with England in their first group stage match. Despite playing one of the top contenders in the tournament, they still put up a good fight, so I expect them to look much better against a weaker Slovenian team. And while Italy should advance, Spain is just too stacked. Also the fact that the bet is plus money makes it hard to pass up. Give me England as well to juice the odds 👇
