Our Euro Finals Group Stage Predictor Research:

Romania vs Netherlands – After earning the necessary draw with Slovakia in the final round of Group E matches, Romania’s reward is a meeting with the Netherlands in a few hours. A reward that although labelled as such is arguably far from the case and with Edward Iordănescu’s men having failed to build on their impressive opening tournament showing against Ukraine, having to go up against the might of the Dutch national team may be considered more of a punishment in footballing terms. However, Group E was always going to be wide open after the draw was made – if only because of a lack of genuine quality without and the fact that Romania have made it to the Round of 16 is not something that should be ignored. On their day and as we have already seen, this is a team that is capable of turning it on. The concern is that their day does not come often enough and this could be the last day of their tournament presence in Germany.

As for opponents the Netherlands, they will be slightly bruised by their 3-2 defeat to Austria in their final Group D encounter and although at the time that reverse would have a bitter pill for Ronald Koeman’s men to swallow, the medicine that followed the next day would have tasted much better. After losing to Ralf Rangnick’s men, the Dutch had to make do with third place in the group and at one stage it looked as if they were to meet England in the Round of 16. Fast forward 24 hours or so later and although the Netherlands were on the same said of the knockout bracket as the Three Lions, their fate has seen them paired with Romania instead and with so many of the genuine contenders being placed on the other side of the draw, a semi-final at least for the 1988 champions has to be the bare minimum now. In terms of this evening, De Oranje will have to do more than the bare minimum but they should still progress thanks to a 2-1 win.

Austria vs Turkey – In terms of this summer’s European tournament, there has not been a great deal of shocks. Georgia getting the better of Portugal, Switzerland dumping out the champions Italy in the Round of 16 and Austria’s win over the Netherlands in their final Group D. A game that only saw Ralf Rangnick’s men come out on top in a five-goal thriller but also because of France’s draw with Poland at the time, it also saw the alpine nation finish top of the four-team mini league. Top of the group and paired on the ‘easier’ side of the knockout bracket and when it comes to the discussion regarding tournament dark horses, Austria are starting to gain a much louder voice in terms of what they have already done and what they could possibly do in the next fortnight. Next up for them is a clash with Turkey in the Round of 16 and there is no doubt that the Austrian camp will be full of optimism beforehand.

Optimism that could just as easily be tempered by Turkish delight in a few hours and although Vincenzo Montella’s men lost to Portugal in the second Group F match, they did also manage to pick up wins against Georgia and the Czech Republic before and after and as a consequence, the 2008 semi-finalists secured qualification to the Round of 16 via a second place finish in their group. If their win over the Czech’s was rather ruined by a card happy referee that spoiled the flow of the game, the same cannot be said regarding their opening success in Germany and although their goal frame seemed rather charmed at times with the amount of times the Georgian’s hit the woodwork, Turkish endeavour was rewarded with some sensationally scored goals. That night saw the focus placed on Real Madrid starlet Arda Guler and if selected to start the youngster will undoubtedly have the weight of the nation on his shoulders .Weight that in our opinion will be too much to bare and therefore, we are backing Austria to win this by two goals to nil.

Brazil vs Colombia – Arguably the most anticipated group stage clash of this summer’s Copa America awaits us as Brazil prepare to face Colombia in the final round of Group D and with these two meeting in the small hours of Wednesday morning, you may want to either set the alarm clocks or stay up from watching events in Germany unfold. Then again, although the level of anticipation is rather high, the encounter is not do or die in terms of who finishes top of the group and the reason for that is because of the Selecao’s draw with Costa Rica in their tournament opener. Certainly two points dropped for Dorival Junior’s side and with Uruguay awaiting whoever finishes second in Group D, the balance of power is with Colombia before we get underway.

Not only is the balance of power with Colombia, but that power comes with being unbeaten in any of their last 25 international outings. A sensational run to this point and one that has also seen them swat away both Costa Rica and Paraguay at this summer’s Copa America with ease. Because of that pair of previous competitive wins, it means that Nestor Lorenzo’s men only need to draw their final group stage encounter in order to avoid Uruguay in the last eight and instead face Panama instead. Simply put, you do not go 25 games without defeat by accident and there will be no accident here as we back this game to end in stalemate. A goal each come the final whistle and a result that gives Brazil something to sweat about before the quarter-finals get underway.

Costa Rica vs Paraguay – Thanks to their draw with Brazil, Costa Rica’s bid to qualify out of the group stage is not over yet. Should they win handsomely and Brazil suffer a resounding defeat at the hands of their upcoming opponents Coolmbia, then it would be the five-time world champions who would join Paraguay in going home early. There is no doubt that the upcoming fixture difficulty has landed in the lap of Costa Rica and although you get the feeling they could do their bit against Paraguay, they could just as easily slip up at the same time.

As for opponents Paraguay, they have had a miserable tournament showing thus far and after losing to both Colombia and Brazil, they can at least play with no pressure in a few hours. Not that it will mean too much in the grand scheme of things and with their suitcases already packed for Ascension, what they do against Costa Rica is immaterial from their own point of view. Nothing to play for and they have offered nothing to date. With this in mind, we believe there will be nothing in the way of goals in just a few hours. A bore draw to wrap up proceedings in Group D. A modicum of pride subsequently restored for Paraguay, Costa Rica denied their shot at last eight qualification.

With free prediction games gaining more popularity in the last few months, Bet365’s 4 Scores Challenge is not the only game on the market for this summer’s European Championships. In the table below, we list the alternatives available.

Research Suggestions:

Although the game is open to all Bet365 customers, it arguably rewards those who put in the time and effort. So research by reading through the pre-tournament form and see which nations are arriving in Germany in red-hot form.

Also, be sure to check for any critical player injuries. Like with Fantasy Football, you don’t want to put all your hopes on a team winning only to find their best player is out injured.

Key Considerations:

Before the latest 4 Scores Challenge gets underway, here are our key considerations:

Although Romania have earned safe passage to the Round of 16, they do not arrive at the knockout stage with much in the way of form behind them. Edward Iordănescu’s men have won just one of their last seven international outings. Their sole victory during that spell was their Group E opening 3-0 win over Ukraine. The only genuine highspot for a team that even though wins have been hard to find, they have at least managed to draw four of the same run. This suggests that what they lack in flair, they can make up for in terms of solidity.

There have not been many surprises at this summer’s tournament but one of them would have certainly been the Netherlands defeat to Austria in Group D. A 3-2 defeat for Ronald Koeman’s men that not only saw the Dutch fail to finish top of the group but it also saw their recent four game unbeaten run come to an end. The mitigating circumstance was that a Round of 16 invite was all but secure, but the same level of mitigation can not be applied this evening.

As for Austria, they approach their Round of 16 clash with Turkey having lost just one of their last 10 matches. Their sole defeat during this streak was the 1-0 reverse to France in their opening Group D encounter and you must also remember that it was an Austrian own goal that handed Les Blues victory. Not since October of last year have Ralf Rangnick’s men be hoisted by their own petard and if they can get the better of Turkey later tonight, it will hoist this unfancied team into the last eight of the competition.

They go up against a Turkey side that is starting to warm up and after earning the necessary win over the Czech Republic to assure progress to the Round of 16, it means that Vincenzo Montella’s men have won two of their last five international outings. Admittedly they have also lost the same amount - losing to Poland in a pre-tournament friendly and Portugal in the group stage, which means you never quite know what type of Turkish performance you are going to get. If they are to move to the last eight, it may need another masterful display from teenage talent Arda Guler.

Although Costa Rica can still mathematically reach the last eight of this summer’s Copa America, it is going to need an incredible combination of factors for the Central American nation to do so. First they will have to beat Paraguay by four goals and hope that Brazil lose to Colombia by at least two. Not impossible but certainly a difficult task and even more so when you consider that Gustavo Alfaro’s men have beaten Grenada and Saint Kitts and Nevis from their last five international outings.

As for upcoming opponents Paraguay, they are preparing to depart from the Copa America after losing both their opening two Group D matches at the hands of Colombia and Brazil. The only thing that Daniel Garnero’s men have left to play for is pride and with just one win from their last five outings - that being a pre-tournament friendly win over Panama, even playing for that commodity could prove to be a struggle against a Costa Rica side that still have something to play for in the small hours of tomorrow morning.

Brazil may not have lost any of their last six international outings but there is certainly something lacking regarding their usual brand of samba football. Three wins and just as many draws from their last half dozen but when you consider that one of those stalemates was their Group D opener with Costa Rica, it suggests that all is not well with Dorival Junior’s men at present and with qualification to the last eight not yet secured, the first thing they must avoid is a heavy defeat at the hands of a red-hot Colombia outfit.

A Colombia outfit so hot that they have not been cooled down in quite some time. 25 matches to be precise and with Nestor Lorenzo’s men having won each of their last 10, they may have made the leap from tournament dark horse to genuine contenders to lift the trophy. Then again, runs such as these mean very little if you do not go all the way and even though extending the run to 26 would be nice, this could also be treated as an opportunity to rest players for the final push in the knockout phase.

4 Scores Challenge Rules:

Regarding how the Bet365 4 Scores challenge works, the premise sounds rather simple - predict the correct scores in six selected matches and walk away with £50,000 for your troubles. This one is easy to play but incredibly difficult to master.

To make mastering the game a little more difficult, there are no prizes for simply predicting the correct outcome. For example, if Germany plays Scotland and you predicted a 1-1 draw, that is the score required to tick off your first winner.

Should the two Group A rivals play out a 2-2 draw instead, you may have backed the correct outcome, but that is no good in this free football jackpot game.

Final Thoughts:

This game is open to all Bet365 customers, and not only is it open to all, but it could not be any easier to play, although it is incredibly difficult to master. We all know our football, and backing a team to win, lose, or draw is not the most difficult wager to place.

However, things become much more difficult when you add the correct score. Even though mastering the game may prove difficult, it does nothing to reduce the fun that can be had.

Whether working alone or pooling your brain power with your friends, this football score predictions game is worth a look.

Another point to highlight is that this European Championship version of the 4 Scores game will be played each day of group stage action. This means that the jackpot prize is collectable once someone predicts all the correct results and can be won on multiple occasions.

This means there are plenty of opportunities to test your European Championship prediction acumen with Bet365 across the tournament and to win prizes straight from the off.
