As the Euro 2024 knockout stage begins to take shape, it is sink or swim as nations exit the competition and every game is, in itself, already a knockout. Tensions are high all across the tournament as the final group games take place, with teams fighting to avoid elimination or secure favourable places in the group.
This continues Wednesday night when underdogs Slovakia take on Romania, Ukraine face Belgium, Portugal play Georgia and Czechia take on Turkey.

Slovakia and Romania to draw and both teams to score @ 3.88
Two of the Euros’ biggest surprises face off in what is set to be a thriller. Both sides have been excellent to watch and have won the hearts of neutral supporters with their spirited performances. Slovakia and Romania are evenly matched and judging by their previous games, we expect chaos! The stakes are high but this will not deter either team as they hunt for a coveted place in the next stage of the competition – although a draw would see both through to the last 16 with four points apiece.
Belgium to beat Ukraine and Romelu Lukaku to score @ 3.65
A less than impressive Belgium side will look to top Group E. One of the tournament favourites, they have struggled to click as of yet but with the amount of talent they have in their squad, it is hard to see that being a permanent thing. The same goes for Romelu Lukaku, who has scored three disallowed goals this tournament, so it seems a matter of time before luck goes his way. But they will have to put in a strong display to beat a brave Ukraine squad, who themselves are looking to finish top of the pile, with all four sides in the group going into the final matchday on three points.
Portugal to beat Georgia and Cristiano Ronaldo to score first @ 4.79
Portugal have already confirmed top spot in Group F with wins over Czechia and Turkey – and therefore may rest key players against Georgia. But talisman Cristiano Ronaldo will be frustrated to not have got off the mark yet, so it is likely he will start once again to see if he can end his mini goal drought. Georgia have been hugely impressive this tournament and it will be a shame for them to bow out with only one point to show for their efforts. But Portugal’s quality is unbelievable, hence why they are strong favourites for the win.
Czechia to beat Turkey @ 2.47
In another game that is set to be an absolute cracker, both teams here stand a chance of finishing second in the group. Turkey can finish on six points after beating Georgia 3-1 in their opener, while Czechia can claim four points in total after a 1-1 draw with the Georgians last time out. Turkey may recall Real Madrid starlet Arda Guler to their starting XI to boost their chances but Czechia have been more solid and compact at Euro 2024, so we think they may have the edge over a Turkey side who seems to thrive on chaos.
