Portugal were stunned 0-1 by Albania at home, putting them into very difficult position in Group I right at the start of the qualifying campaign. Greece also lost their first game at home, failing to catch up to Romania leading 1-0.

Those who bet on sports in the United Kingdom will also find it quite rewarding to wager on Czech Republic vs Netherlands qualifier. The Czech are actually leading the Dutch following their eight meetings under UEFA Euro flag. Four wins, three draws and only one loss in both qualifying and final tournaments.

Betting odds for the qualifiers

Looking at the betting odds offered for the upcoming matches, punters can find some great offers capable of bringing them quite some payouts if they guess the outcomes right. Surprisingly enough, Austria are favored against Sweden with 2.35 odds compared to a line of 3.00 for the Swedish success and 3.20 for the draw. A very good offer is given for Zlatan Ibrahimovic to score first – 5.00 odds – a quite hefty payout should the striker find the back of the net first, and there’s no reason why he shouldn’t do so.

The highlight of betting for today is of course the Switzerland vs England encounter. The Swiss have the home turf advantage and that explains why they are slightly favored at Betway: 2.60 odds against a line of 2.75 for the Three Lions, and 3.10 for the draw.

Combo betting offers are quite good too: Switzerland to win, while both teams to score delivers 5.50 odds, while a draw and both teams scoring pays at 4.50, and finally both teams scoring and England winning the encounter offers 6.50 odds.

The most anticipated results are the 1-1 draw and 1-0 win for the Swiss, each paying at 5.50. 2-1 and 2-0 success for England has a hefty 11.00 payout at Betway, while Switzerland’s 2-0 win pays a bit less – at 9.00. However, should the hosts win 3-0, the online bookies will provide a huge payout at 26.00. The same result for the Three Lions brings an even bigger line of 34.00.

As for tomorrow’s qualifiers the most interesting encounter to bet on is of course the Czech Republic vs Netherlands affair. Quite understandably, Betway is favoring the visitors with 1.90 odds giving the Czech only 4.00 odds to win and valuing the draw at 3.40.

But Czech Republic are quite good against the Dutch at Euros, strictly looking at statistics, and combo offer on them winning and both teams scoring delivering 7.50 odds is quite a smart bet to make if you want to win big.

Goals-wise it’s once again the 1-1 draw, which seems to be the most popular choice, paying at 5.75 odds from Betway. 1-0 to the Czech brings a nice 8.50 payout, but their 2-0 success will pay at already great line of 16.00. Single goal win for the Dutch pays at 6.00, while 2-0 – at 8.00, however, should the Oranje win with 3-0, the payout is 16.00.

Robin Van Persie is of course the favorite to score first with 5.00 odds, while Jeremain Lens got a line of 7.00 and both Luciano Narsingh and Davy Klassen got 7.50 odds to open the scoreline first. The first player for the Czechs expected to be the on opening the scoresheet is Matej Vydra, valued to do so with 8.00 odds from Betway.
