Betting on Team Total: Portugal Averaging 2.6 Goals

Portugal suffered much more than expected in its Euro 2024 debut but ended up beating the Czech Republic 2-1. Francisco Conceicao came off the bench to score the winner in stoppage time, but keep in mind that the Navigators finished with 19 shots in total and eight on goal.

Most recently, Ronaldo and company had no trouble fulfilling their role as betting online favorites against Turkey with a 3-0 victory. CR7 didn´t score but finished with one assist, which allowed him to tie Karel Poborsky as the Euro championships all-time leader in that department with eight.

That’s the thing about Portugal – even when Ronaldo fails to score, the Navigators find a way. Having a deep roster that includes Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes, Rafael Leao and Joao Felix, to name a few, has a lot to do with that.

“The team is very united and that’s one of the reasons why the ball doesn’t get into our area so often. Those defensive moments, which haven’t happened very often, are proof of how well our team is performing,” said Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa during an interview.

Regarding the team total for Wednesday’s clash, it’s set at 2½ goals and the over is +128. Make sure to take it since the Navigators averaged 2.6 goals per game in their last five matches in all competitions.

Overall, only Germany has scored more goals than Portugal in the UEFA Euro, and again, Ronaldo hasn’t scored! He will do whatever it takes to score and silence the critics before the quarterfinals.

Georgia Good Bet to Score

Believe it or not, one of the tournament’s top scorers plays for Georgia. That’s Georges Mikautadze, who has scored two goals. He scored in the team’s debut, a 3-1 loss against Turkey.

Most recently, he scored in the 1-1 draw against the Czech Republic, which allowed the Crusaders to regain some confidence.

As for Wednesday’s clash, keep in mind that Mikautadze is +375 in the BetUS sportsbook to score at any time. Considering that regardless of the result, Georgia scored in nine of its last 10 games in all competitions and Mikautadze is highly motivated, that’s a great deal.

You can expect the Crusaders to rely on the counter-attack and Mikautadze to be the only center-striker in the starting lineup, which increases his chances to a whole new level, especially considering he’s in charge of taking penalties. Finally, he’s 23 and plays for FC Metz. In other words, a final crushing performance can open a lot of doors for him.
