The second round of group matches at the women’s European Championships begins tonight, with hosts Switzerland in dire need of a victory against Iceland to keep their hopes alive.
The Swiss suffered a 2-1 loss to Norway in their first match, a tough result to take considering they dominated for large portions of the game. They now face Iceland, who also faced a defeat against Finland, making for a challenging start to their Group A journey.
With both teams likely needing a win to maintain their chances of advancing to the knockout stages, tonight’s stakes are incredibly high.
Key betting tips for Switzerland Women vs Iceland Women
An exciting match is expected as both teams will strive for victory, suggesting a focus on goals could be wise. Although Iceland failed to score in their first match, they played over half an hour with only 10 players, so they should present more of a challenge this time.
BTTS is priced at 3/4 with BoyleSports, but adding over 2.5 goals increases the odds to 11/8, which appears to offer good value.
Switzerland started strong in their opening match, leading at halftime. With the support of the home crowd, backing Switzerland to win the first half at 13/8 is appealing.
Norway Women vs Finland Women
The other Group A match tonight may be more cautious, with both Norway and Finland having already secured three points.
A draw wouldn’t be detrimental to either team, but a win could almost ensure a spot in the knockouts with one match left.
BoyleSports has Norway as 6/10 favorites, likely due to their strong record against Finland, with just one loss in 14 encounters.
The teams met in qualifiers with Norway winning 4-0 at home and Finland earning a last-minute equalizer in a 1-1 draw in Helsinki.
Winger Guro Reiten scored in that draw, making her a tempting 3/1 with BoyleSports to score again today.
Norway is expected to prevail, and combining their win with under 3.5 goals pays 23/20 with the same bookmaker.
Halmstad vs AIK
In men’s football, Scandinavia offers plenty of action today, with the standout match being AIK’s visit to Halmstad in Sweden.
The title race is highly competitive this season, and AIK is a strong contender for the top spot for the first time since 2018.
They have only lost one of their 14 league matches, though that defeat was on their last away trip to IK Sirius.
AIK rebounded with a 3-0 home victory over Gothenburg, and BoyleSports lists them as 8/13 favorites for another win today.
This is likely due to Halmstad sitting near the bottom of the table, having lost four of their last five games.
BTTS has occurred in the last four meetings, including a 2-1 victory for AIK in their last visit. So an away win combined with BTTS could pay out at 16/5 with BoyleSports.
Forward Johan Hove has scored in his last three games for AIK, making the 4/1 offered by Bet365 for him to score again today an attractive option.
