Swiss Poised at 21/20 to Knock Out Finland in Euros – Thursday’s Football Tips, SCCG Management

The final group stage matches of the women’s European Championships kick off tonight, and hosts Switzerland need only a draw against Finland to progress to the last 16.

Both teams have three points in Group A, but Pia Sundhage’s squad leads on goal difference, so Finland requires a victory to surpass them.

With the support of the home fans, Switzerland is unlikely to settle for a draw, promising an exciting contest as both teams aim for a win on a potentially dramatic evening.

Switzerland Women vs Finland Women top betting tips

Switzerland kept their qualification hopes alive with a 2-0 victory over Iceland in their previous match, and a similar performance should see them advance.

While Finland also defeated Iceland in their opening game, it was against a weakened side with 10 players, making Switzerland a promising bet to win tonight at 21/20 with BoyleSports.

In Switzerland’s Group A matches, most action occurred after halftime, making it worthwhile to wager on the second half being the highest-scoring period at 21/20 with BoyleSports.

Norway Women vs Iceland Women

The other Group A match tonight is inconsequential, with Norway already through to the last 16 and Iceland playing only for pride.

Regardless of tonight’s results, Norway will top the group due to their superior head-to-head record against Switzerland and Finland.

Manager Gemma Grainger might rest key players and give others a chance to shine.

BoyleSports still backs Norway as 23/20 favorites, but betting on a winner is risky due to the uncertainty of team strength.

Manchester United’s Celin Bizet might start after two substitute appearances and is 9/4 at BoyleSports to score anytime.

With nothing at stake, betting against corners could be profitable, with under 8.5 corners priced at 6/5 by BoyleSports.

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Ilves

Despite being regulars in the Champions League for decades, Shakhtar Donetsk finds themselves in the first round of Europa League qualifiers tonight.

The Ukrainian team finished third in their domestic league last season, their lowest since 1996.

As a result, they start early in the Europa League after competing in the Champions League group stage last year with wins over Young Boys and Brest.

Facing Finnish team Ilves, BoyleSports lists Shakhtar as 1/7 favorites for a ‘home’ first leg in neutral Slovenia.

Shakhtar hasn’t been prolific in friendlies, with a 1-0 win over Gorica and a 1-1 draw with Slovacko. Thus, a Shakhtar win with under 3.5 goals is a 13/10 bet at BoyleSports.

They might take time to hit their stride, so betting on most goals coming after the break could pay off at 20/23.
