Where to Watch:
Why Bet on Portugal?
We all know the potential that Portugal has in world soccer. Besides having one of the best players in the sport’s history, Cristiano Ronaldo, the team has Bernardo Silva, current Champions League champion, and Rafael Leao, one of the great promises of Portuguese soccer today.
The Lusitanians got off to a good start in the Group Stage of the Euro 2024 qualifiers. In their first match, they crushed Liechtenstein with a score of 0-4, but in their most recent match, on March 26, 2023, the team gave a footballing lesson against Luxembourg to win 6-0.
As we can see, the Portuguese have scored ten goals in two games while not conceding a single one. This is a great foreshadowing of what may happen in this match against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Why Bet on Bosnia and Herzegovina?
On the other hand, we have Bosnia and Herzegovina, a team that has had many difficulties in the last decade in giving battle in European soccer at the national team level. However, they are in this Group J, which is undoubtedly one of the most accessible for Euro 2024.
The Bosnians base their game unquestionably on Edin Dzeko and Miralem Pjanic, two players who know what it is like to play at the highest competitive level in Europe. However, the younger generation has not been up to the task in recent years, and they have missed all the important international events.
Bosnia started well in these Euro 2024 qualifiers, as they managed an excellent 3-0 win over Iceland in their opener. However, in their visit to Slovakia in March 2023, the team could not display their best version of their game and ended up losing with a score of 0-2.
Final Betting Analysis: Portugal vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina
The match between Portugal and Bosnia has only four precedents in the history of world soccer. In this period, Bosnia-Herzegovina did not know what a victory against the Lusitanians was, but they managed to draw 0-0 in the penultimate match between them. On the other hand, Portugal has won three times, the last being a 6-2 victory on November 15, 2011.
At MyBookie.ag, we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors Portugal at -625, while Bosnia and Herzegovina starts at +1300.
Bosnia and Herzegovina must play a perfect game to hurt Portugal at home. While the Lusitanians may have some problems at the beginning of the match, as that has been the tendency of this team in recent times, they should settle down and crush the visitors as the match goes on.
Our betting selection for this match is a 3-0 win for Portugal.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline Portugal. For example, if you put $100 on Portugal at -625, you’ll see a $16 win with a total payout of $116.
