Czech Rep 15/10 Draw 24/10 Turkey 1.75/1

 

The Czech's had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Georgia in their second group match. Overall they had the better of the game but were a goal down at half time. Patrik Schick squared things up just before the hour mark and the Georgia keeper was forced into action a number of times but there was to be no further scoring. Czech Republic threatened a surprise in their first match against Portugal. They spent much of the game on the back foot but Lukas Provod gave them a 62 minute lead. Unfortunately for the Czech's an own goal from Robin Hranac squared things up and they conceded again in stoppage time as Portugal ran out 2-1 winners.

 

Turkey went down 3-0 to Portugal in their second outing, taking their goal difference into the negative which could yet be significant should they finish third in the group. A cracking goal from Mert Muldur put Turkey in front against Georgia who levelled before half time. Real Madrid's Arda Guler put Turkey back in front and after riding their luck Kerem Akturkoglu capitalized on Georgia pushing everyone forward to make the final score 3-1.

 

The Verdict:

 

I'm going to stick with Tomas Soucek to score anytime for the Czech's. I tried this earlier without any joy but his record for grabbing goals and his boosted price make plenty of appeal.

 

Bets: Anytime goalscorer Tomas Soucek, was 8.75/1 now 11/1 with Sportingbet

 

 

Georgia 13/2 Draw 4/1 Portugal 4/10

 

Georges Mikautadze gave Georgia the lead from the penalty spot against Czech Republic last time out but they couldn't hold out and were grateful to their keeper for a number of crucial saves and it finished 1-1. Georgia's debut in a major tournament ended in a 3-1 defeat to Turkey. They fell behind after 25 minutes but Mikautadze made history just 7 minutes later with the equalizer. It was 1-1 at the break but Turkey regained the lead midway through the second half. Georgia pushed for an equalizer and hit the woodwork but Turkey sealed victory with a third goal deep into added time.

 

Portugal eased into the last 16 with a dominant 3-0 win over Turkey to maintain their 100% record. Bernardo Silva and an own goal had them 2-0 to the good by half time and Bruno Fernandes added the third just before the hour mark. Substitute Francisco Conceicao scored Portugal's injury time winner in the 2-1 victory over Czech Republic. They dominated possession (73%), shots on target (8 to 1) and corners (13-0) but needed a freak own goal to level matters after the Czech's took a shock lead.

 

The Verdict:

Portugal may rotate but could still have too much for Georgia but this makes makes only limited appeal to me betting wise.

 

I'll go with Diogo Jota to score anytime

 

Bets: Anytime goalscorer Diogo Jota at 1.45/1 with Sportingbet
